A rectangle with an area of 24 square units has length x+1 and width 4x-6. find the value of x.

1 answer:

6 0

Area = length x width.
24 = (x + 2)(x - 3) = x² - x - 6
x² - x - 30 = 0
(x + 5)(x - 6) = 0
We can eliminate the root x = - 5 because dimensions cannot be negative. So, the only valid answer is x = 6

The length = x + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8 in.
The width = x - 3 = 6 - 3 = 3 in.

How to convert base two to base three

sladkih [1.3K]

Consider this example: say we want to convert x = 11 0101 1001₂ to base 3.

The binary expansion of x is

x = 1×2⁹ + 1×2⁸ + 1×2⁶ + 1×2⁴ + 1×2³ + 1×2⁰

which in base 10 reduces to

x = 512 + 256 + 64 + 16 + 8 + 1 = 857

Recall the first several powers of 3:

3⁰ = 1; 3¹ = 3; 3² = 9; 3³ = 27; 3⁴ = 81; 3⁵ = 243; 3⁶ = 729

Now it's a matter of computing quotients and remainders. Pick the largest power of 3 that fits into the target number, then check the remainder and repeat.

• How many times does the 729 go into 857? 1 time, and it leaves a remainder of 128, or

857 = 1×729 + 128 = 1×3⁶ + 128

• How many times does 81 go into 128? Also 1 time, so

128 = 1×81 + 47 = 1×3⁴ + 47

• How many times does 27 go into 47? Also 1 time,

47 = 1×27 + 20 = 1×3³ + 20

• How many times does 9 go into 20? 2 times,

20 = 18 + 2 = 2×9 + 2 = 2×3² + 2

• How many times does 1 go into 2? Also 2 times,

2 = 2 + 1 = 2×1 + 0 = 2×3⁰

So we found

857 = 1×3⁶ + 1×3⁴ + 1×3³ + 2×3² + 2×3⁰

which is the ternary expansion of x,

x = 1 011 202₃
