Given:
The area model.
To find:
The area as a sum and area as a product.
Solution:
The four terms of the area model are .
The area as a sum is the sum of all the terms of given area model.
Area as a sum =
=
The area as a product is the factor form of sum of all the terms of given area model.
Area as a product =
=
=
Therefore, the area as a sum is and the area as a product is
.
Answers:
15) x = 8,
16) x = 9, ,
17) x = 6, ,
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
15x³ - 119x² - 10x + 16 = 0
So, the possible rational roots are: +/-
Use synthetic division with each one until you find a remainder of zero. I am not going to go through each one because it is too time consuming, however, the first one that works is x = 8
(x - 8)(15x² + x - 2)
Next, factor 15x² + x - 2 using any method
(x - 8)(3x - 1)(5x + 2)
Now, solve for x.
x = 8, x = , x =
