Answer:

Hello,

g(x) = 2 (x + 3) (x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = 2x²- 2x - 24

⇔ g(x) = 2 (x² - x - 12)

⇔ g(x) = 2 ((x - 1/2)² - (1/2)² - 12)

⇔ g(x) = 2 ((x - 1/2)² - 12.25)

⇔ g(x) = 2 ((x - 1/2)² - 3.5²)

⇔ g(x) = 2 ((x - 1/2)² - (7/2)²)

⇔ g(x) = 2 (x - 1/2 + 7/2) (x - 1/2 - 7/2)

⇔ g(x) = 2 (x + 3) (x - 4)

Jillian is trying to save water, so she reduces the size of her square grass lawn by 8 feet on each side the area of the smaller

horsena [70]

Answer: 20 feet by 20 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that $x$ is the original measure of one side. Since it is a square, all its sides are equal.

2. Therefore, to solve the problem you only need to solve for $x$ , as you can see below:

- You have that:

$(a-b)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2}$

- Then, you obtain the following quadratic equation:

$(x-8)^{2} =144\\x^{2}-2(x)(8)+8^{2}=144\\x^{2}-16x-80=0$

- Apply the Quadratic formula to solve it:

$x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}\\a=1\\b=-16\\c=-80$

- Then, you obtain:

$x_1=20\\x_2=-4$

3. The dimensions cannot be negative, therefore, the answer is: 20 feet by 20 feet.
