The length of a rectangular field is 7 m less than 4 times the width. The perimeter is 136 m. Find the width and the length

Helga [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the width by W. Then, "The length of a rectangular field is 7 m less than 4 times the width" expressed symbolically is

L = 4W - 7 (dimensions in meters)

Recall that the perimeter formula in this case is P = 2L + 2W, and recognize that the perimeter value is 136 m. After substituting 4W - 7 for L, we get:

136 m = 2(4W - 7) + 2W, or

136 = 8W - 14 + 2W, or

150 = 10W These three equations are equivalent mathematical statements.

150 = 10W reduces to W = 15 (meters).

Part A: the independent variable is W, the width of the field.

Part B: The mathematical statement is 136 m = 2(4W - 7) + 2W, which after algebraic manipulation becomes 150 = 10W.

Part C: The above equation can be solved for W: W = 15 meters. This is the value of the independent variable.

Write out the form of the partial fraction decomposition of the function. Do not determine the numerical values of the coefficie

Dvinal [7]

For part (a), you have

$\dfrac x{x^2+x-6}=\dfrac x{(x+3)(x-2)}=\dfrac a{x+3}+\dfrac b{x-2}$
$x=a(x-2)+b(x+3)$

If $x=2$ , then $2=b(2-3)\implies b=-2$ .

If $x=-3$ , then $-3=a(-3-2)\implies a=\dfrac35$ .

So,

$\dfrac x{x^2+x-6}=\dfrac 3{5(x+3)}-\dfrac 2{x-2}$

For part (b), since the degrees of the numerator and denominator are the same, you first need to find the quotient and remainder upon division.

$\dfrac{x^2}{x^2+x+2}=\dfrac{x^2+x+2-x-2}{x^2+x+2}=1-\dfrac{x+2}{x^2+x+2}$

In the remainder term, the denominator $x^2+x+2$ can't be factorized into linear components with real coefficients, since the discriminant is negative $(1-4\times1\times2=-7)$ . However, you can still factorized over the complex numbers, so a partial fraction decomposition in terms of complexes does exist.

$x^2+x+2=0\implies x=-\dfrac12\pm\dfrac{\sqrt7}2i$
$\implies x^2+x+2=\left(x-\left(-\dfrac12+\dfrac{\sqrt7}2i\right)\right)\left(x-\left(-\dfrac12-\dfrac{\sqrt7}2i\right)\right)$
$\implies x^2+x+2=\left(x+\dfrac12-\dfrac{\sqrt7}2i\right)\left(x+\dfrac12+\dfrac{\sqrt7}2i\right)$

Then you have

$\dfrac{x+2}{x^2+x+2}=\dfrac a{x+\dfrac12-\dfrac{\sqrt7}2i}+\dfrac b{x+\dfrac12+\dfrac{\sqrt7}2i}$
$x+2=a\left(x+\dfrac12+\dfrac{\sqrt7}2i\right)+b\left(x+\dfrac12-\dfrac{\sqrt7}2i\right)$

When $x=-\dfrac12-\dfrac{\sqrt7}2i$ , you have

$-\dfrac12-\dfrac{\sqrt7}2i+2=b\left(-\dfrac12-\dfrac{\sqrt7}2i+\dfrac12-\dfrac{\sqrt7}2i\right)$
$\dfrac32-\dfrac{\sqrt7}2i=-\sqrt7ib$
$b=\dfrac12+\dfrac3{2\sqrt7}i=\dfrac1{14}(7+3\sqrt7i)$

When $x=-\dfrac12+\dfrac{\sqrt7}2i$ , you have

$-\dfrac12+\dfrac{\sqrt7}2i+2=a\left(-\dfrac12+\dfrac{\sqrt7}2i+\dfrac12+\dfrac{\sqrt7}2i\right)$
$\dfrac32+\dfrac{\sqrt7}2i=\sqrt7ia$
$a=\dfrac12-\dfrac3{2\sqrt7}i=\dfrac1{14}(7-3\sqrt7i)$

So, you could write

$\dfrac{x^2}{x^2+x+2}=1-\dfrac{x+2}{x^2+x+2}=1-\dfrac {7-3\sqrt7i}{14\left(x+\dfrac12-\dfrac{\sqrt7}2i\right)}-\dfrac {7+3\sqrt7i}{14\left(x+\dfrac12+\dfrac{\sqrt7}2i\right)}$

but that may or may not be considered acceptable by that webpage.
