Jen factored x² - 4x - 21 as (x - 3)(x + 7) What did she do wrong?

2 answers:

6 0

Jen should have done (x+3)(x-7) bc the middle value of the original equation needs to be equal to the two numerical values added together from the factored equation

Answer:

She didn't put the sign's in the proper place, it should be ( x + 3 ) ( x - 7 )

Step-by-step explanation:

( x - 3 ) ( x + 7 ) = x² + 7x - 3x - 21 = x² + 4x - 21

( x + 3 ) ( x - 7 ) = x² - 7x + 3x - 21 = x² - 4x - 21

The length of a rectangle is three times its width the length is 3 3/4 feet. What is the area if the rectangle?

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

A = 4 11/16 or 4.6875

Step-by-step explanation:

3 3/4 = 3W

divide both sides by 3

15/4 divided by 3 = W

15/4 x 1/3 = W

5/4 = W

A = L x W

3 3/4 x 1 1/4 = 15/4 x 5/4 = 75/16 = 4 11/16
