Let s original sides, l length, w width:

s+8=l

s-3=w

lw= 126in²

substitute:

(s+8)(s-3)=126

s²+5s-24=126

s²+5x-150=0

(s-10)(s+15)

s=10

each side is 10 inches

Which of the following are polynomial functions? Check all that apply.​
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

C and E

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial is a function where the only operation is an exponent on the variable. It can have just one term or many terms. For example, x^2 is a polynomial but x^2 / x+3 is not since it also contains division. This is a rational. Using this definition then only C and E are polynomials.

Choice A has a rational term. This is not polynomial.

Choice B has an exponent of -2 which is actually division. This is rational and not polynomial.

Choice D has a radical term with the variable. This is not polynomial.

What is the value of y?<br><br> Enter your answer in the box.
Dennis_Churaev [7]
You must know that the sum of interior angles is 180°. We also know that AC and BA are congruent which means angles B and C are also congruent. To find x we can assume 25=5x. Which makes x=5, and angle C=25°.

Then we can add all the angles to find y and A. 25+25+(3y+70)=180. Then solve for y and then solve for angle A.
