Answer:

243 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Calculate the<em> base and height </em>of the rectangle

We have two conditions:

(1)   2b+ 2h = 72 in

(2)           b = 3h               Substitute in (1)

2(3h) + 2h = 72               Remove parentheses

   6h + 2h = 72               Combine like terms

           8h = 72               Divide by 6

             h = 9 in             Substitute in(2)

             b = 3 × 9

             b = 27 in

Step 2. Calculate the area of the rectangle

A = bh

A = 27 × 9

A = 243 in²

The area of the rectangle is 243 in².

If alpha and beta are the zeroes of quadratic polynomial ax^2+bx+c , then find alpha^4+beta^4
weqwewe [10]
Ill write A for alpha and B for beta.

AB = c/a  and A + B = -b/a

A^4 + B^4 = (A^2 + B^2)^2  -   2A^2B^2

                 = [(A + B)^2 - 2AB] ^2 - 2A^2B^2

Plugging in the values for A+B and AB we get

A^4 + B^4 = [(-b/a)^2 - 2c/a]^2 - 2(c/a)^2

   =    (b^2 / a^2 - 2c / a)^2 - 2c^2/a^2

  = (b^2 - 2ac)^2  - 2c^2
     ----------------      -----
          a^4                a^2

 =   (b^2 - 2ac)^2 - 2a^2c^2
       -----------------------------
                   a^4
