Answer:

Not possible

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The area of the pen is 150 ft²

Assuming that the length of the pen is x, then the breadth of the pen will be 24 - x

Area = length * breadth

Area = x (24 - x)

Area = 24x - x²

24x - x² = 150

x² - 24x + 150 = 0

Using general quadratic formula, we have

[-b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/ 2a

Where

a = 1

b = -24

c = 150

On solving the equation, we get a number in the complex form of "i", and not a real number. As such, it's not possible for the 24 feet to enclose the area

castortr0y [4]
So, the fraction of races that he won was:

\frac{6}{36} : you need ti divide the number of occurrences by the number of possibilities.

We can simplify this:
\frac{1}{6}.

When we write it in decimals until the closest place, it's:

0.167 or 16.667%

Solve the inequality:<br>(x+2)/(x^2-3x)&gt;0​
makkiz [27]

Answer:

The inequality is equivalent to x(x+2)(x−3)>0 , with the additional conditions that x≠0 and x≠3 .

Since x(x+2)(x−3) only changes signs when crossing −2 , 0 and 3 , from the fact that the evaluating the polynomial at 4 yields 24 , we see that the polynomial is

positive over (3,∞)

negative over (0,3)

positive over (−2,0)

negative over (−∞,−2)

Thus the solution set for your inequality is (−2,0)∪(3,∞) .
