A rectangle has a length that is 5 inches greater than its width, and its area is 104 square inches. The equation (x + 5)x = 104

represents the situation, where x represents the width of the rectangle. (x + 5)x = 104 x2 + 5x – 104 = 0 Determine the solutions of the equation. What solution makes sense for the situation? x =

Answer:

The answer is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the quadratic formula, that is ax2+bx+c=0

Where

x=\frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4*a*c } }{2a}

For the given equation x2+5x-104=0 we have

a=1, b=5, c= -104

If you solve that, we will have x=-13. x=8, two answers,

The first one, by being negative does not have physical sense (there are no negatives quantities when you measure the length of something)

So we use the anwser x=8

lesya [120]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial ordered-pairs are (x, y)

We have a rotation of 90 degrees counterclockwise with respect to origin

Note. Previously the points were

A(-3, 4), B(-3, 0), C(-1, 3)

After the rotation, we have

A(-4, -3), B(0, -3), C(-3, -1)

Thus, (x, y) \rightarrow (-y, x)

Then shifting horizontally to the right 2 units, we get ΔA'B'C'

Thus,

(x, y) \rightarrow (-y, x) \rightarrow (x+2, y)
