Answer: Length = 9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangle.

The width of a rectangle is 2 units less than the length. It means that the width of the rectangle is (L - 2) units.

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

The area of the rectangle is 63 units. It means that

L(L - 2) = 63

L² - 2L = 63

L² - 2L - 63 = 0

L² + 7L - 9L - 63 = 0

L(L + 7) - 9(L + 7) = 0

L - 9 = 0 or L + 7 = 0

L = 9 or L = - 7

Since the length cannot be negative, then

L = 9 units

Width = 9 - 2 = 7 units

The function has three factors. Two of these factors
borishaifa [10]

The values of a and b will be -2 and 22 while the other factor in the function is x - 3/2.

<h3>How to illustrate the function?</h3>

The function is given as:

f(x) = ax³ - x² + bx - 24.

Since (x - 2) and (x - 4) are the factors, they will give functions of 8a + 2b = 28 and -16a - b = 10.

This will be solved by elimination method and the values of a and b will be -2 and 22.

Therefore, f(x) = -2x³ - x² + 22x - 24

Answer:

35 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The irregular shaped can be divided into two squares and one rectangle, so the area will be the additions of the area of the squares and the rectangle

area of square A = L *B = 3 *3 = 9in²

area of square B = L * B = 4*4 = 16in²

area of rectangle C = L * B = 5 *2 = 10in²

th area of the irregular shape = 9 in² + 16 in² + 10 in² = 35 in²
