For this case we have the following expression:
y2 - xy - 56x2
Rewriting we have the factored expression, which is given by:
(7x + y) (y-8x)
Checking we have:
7xy - 56x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 - 8xy
y ^ 2 - xy - 56x ^ 2 (OK)
Answer:
The factored expression is given by:
y2 - xy - 56x2 = (7x + y) (y-8x)
For this you would use Pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2) a=15 and c=sqrt 514 plug the numbers in and you’ll be set
Assign the following variables for the origina3l rectangle:
let w = width let w + 8 = length and the area would be w(w + 8) = w² + 8w
No for the second rectangle:
let (w + 4) = width and (w + 8 - 5) or (w + 3) = length
Area = length x width or (w + 4)(w + 3) = w² + 3w + 4w + 12 using the foil method to multiply to binomials. Simplified Area = w² + 7w + 12
Now our problem says that the two area will be equal to each other, which sets up the following equation:
w² + 8w = w² + 7w + 12 subtract w² from both sides
8w = 7w + 12 subtract 7w from both sides
w = 12 this is the width of our original rectangle
recall w + 8 = length, so length of the original rectangle would be 20
