x^2+\dfrac1{x^2}=3\implies x^4+1=3x^2\implies x^4-3x^2+1=0

By the quadratic formula,

x^2=\dfrac{3\pm\sqrt5}2\implies x^2+1=\dfrac{5\pm\sqrt5}2

Then

(x^2+1)^2=\dfrac{25\pm10\sqrt5+5}4=\dfrac{15\pm5\sqrt5}2

\implies\dfrac{x^2}{(x^2+1)^2}=\dfrac{\frac{3\pm\sqrt5}2}{\frac{15\pm5\sqrt5}2}=\dfrac{3\pm\sqrt5}{15\pm5\sqrt5}

Multiply numerator and denominator by the denominator's conjugate:

\dfrac{3\pm\sqrt5}{15\pm5\sqrt5}\cdot\dfrac{15\mp5\sqrt5}{15\mp5\sqrt5}=\dfrac{45\pm15\sqrt5\mp15\sqrt5-25}{15^2-(5\sqrt5)^2}=\dfrac{20}{100}=\dfrac15

Help fast please!!!!!!!!
MArishka [77]

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is

{x}^{2}  - 110x + 2800 \\  =  {x}^{2}  - 40x - 70x + 2800  \\  = x(x - 40) - 70(x - 40) \\  = (x - 40)(x - 70)

Since the width is

x - 40 \: (feet)

Then, the length will be

x - 70 \: (feet)
