Length of rectangle is 1 unit  

<u>Solution: </u>

Given that  

Length of a rectangle is width minus 8 units.

Area of rectangle = 9 square units

Need to calculate the length of rectangle.

Let us assume width of rectangle = x

As Length is width minus 8,  

Length of the rectangle = x – 8

\text{ Area of rectangle }=\text{ width of rectangle }\times \text{ Length of the rectangle }

\text{ Area of rectangle }= x\times (x-8)

\text { Area of rectangle }=\left(x^{2}-8 x\right)

As given that area of rectangle = 9 square units

\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow x^{2}-8 x=9} \\\\ {\Rightarrow x^{2}-8 x-9=0}\end{array}

On solving above quadratic equation for x, we get

\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow x^{2}-9 x+x-9=0} \\\\ {\Rightarrow x(x-9)+1(x-9)=0} \\\\ {\Rightarrow (x-9)(x+1)=0}\end{array}

When x-9 =9, x = 9

When x + 1 = 0, x = -1

As width cannot be negative, so considering x = 9  

\text{ Length of rectangle }= x-8 = 9-8 = 1 \text{ unit }

Hence, Length of rectangle is 1 unit.

Julieta wants to attend a 4-year private university that costs $40,000 per year for tuition. Her parents plan to contribute a qu
Bumek [7]

Answer:

$5,000

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to determine the total amount of money she needs to save to cover the cost of the tuition by subtracting the financial aid, the scholarship and the amount her parents plan to contribute from the total cost of the tuition:

40,000-(40,000/4)-(40,000*25%)-5,000

40,000-10,000-10,000-5,000

40,000-25,000= 15,000

She needs to save a total amount of 15,000. Then, you need to divide this amount by 3:

15,000/3= $5,000

Julieta will need to save $5,000 each year over the next 3 years before her first year.

What is the value of c such that x^2+14x+c is a perfect-square trinomial?
polet [3.4K]

Answer: 49

Step-by-step explanation:

a=1 ,b=14, c=?

b^2-4ac =0

(14)^2-4(1)(c)=0

196-4c=0

196=4c

c=49

Check:

(x)^2+2(x)(7)+(7)^2

x^2+14x+49

(x+7)^2

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

-35 - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

2 + 12 = 14, which is positive

(-3) * (-8) = 24, which is positive

10 - (-18) = 10 + 18 = 28, which is positive

-35 - 5 = -40, which is negative
