Schach [20]

Answer:

x² - 20 = 0

Using the quadratic formula

$x = \frac{ - b± \sqrt{( {b})^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}$

a = 1 b = 0 c = -20

So we have

$x = \frac{ - 0 ± \sqrt{ {0}^{2} - 4(1)( -20)} }{2(1)} \\ \\ x = \frac{± \sqrt{80} }{2} \\ \\ x = \frac{±4 \sqrt{5} }{2} \\ \\ \\ x = ±2 \sqrt{5} \\ \\ \\ x = 2 \sqrt{5} \: \: \: or \: \: \: x = - 2 \sqrt{5}$

Hope this helps you.

Cynthia Besch wants to buy a rug for a room that is 19 ft wide and 32 ft long. She wants to leave a uniform strip of floor aroun

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The rug should be 15 ft wide and 28 ft long.

Step-by-step explanation:

I have attached a figure that represents the situation.

The the rug is $l$ by $h$ , the width of the strip of floor is $w$ .

We are told that Cynthia can only afford 420 square feet of carpeting; therefore, it must be that

$l*h=420$ <em>(this says the area of the rug must be 420 square feet)</em>

From the figure we see that

$l= 32-2w$

$h=19-2w$

Therefore,

$l*h=420\\\\(32-2w)(19-2w)=420$

We expand this equation and get:

$4w^2-102w+608=420\\\\4w^2-102w+188=0$

using the quadratic equation we get two solutions:

$w=2\\w=23.5$

since the second solution, namely $w=23.5$ , is larger than one of the dimensions of the room (is greater than 19 ft) it cannot be the width of the strip; therefore, we take $w=2$ to be our solution.
