I Belive That There Can't Be 3 Numbers In A Rectangle Because At The Top You Get 24 And 6 And I Think It Is BxH One Half Times Base Times Height So 2xBxH .
When a line and a curve are tangent to each other, they are joined together by 1 point (x,y). So, you equate both equations either in terms of x or y. For this problem, let's equate in terms of y.
y = k - x
y = x² + 3x + 1
k - x = x² + 3x + 1
k = x² + 3x + x + 1
k = x² + 4x + 1
This would be the value of k. Since we are not given the common point, it can only be expressed in terms of x or y.
3.1 as a decimal. And it as a mixed number wait a sec.......3 1/10
Hope I could help! :)
