Answer:the width of plywood = 6.25 feet wide or  6 1/4 feet wide

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Area of  a rectangular plywood = length x width

Area of Ist Plywood= 7 x w

Area of 2nd  Plywood= 61/2 x w=6.5 xw

But Total Arae of trhe two Plywoods are = 84 3/8 square feet.

Therefore Our equation to solve the problem becomes

Area of Ist Plywood + Area of 2nd  Plywood =84 3/8 square feet.

7w + 6.5w =  84 3/8

13.5w= 84 3/8

w =  84 3/8/13.5

675/8  / 13.5

w=6.25

Therefore the width of plywood = 6.25 feet wide or 6 1/4 feet.

(x-4) is not a factor of f(x)=x³-2x²+5x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Uding the remainder theorem,(x-4) is a factor if the remainder is 0

Plug in x=4

(4)³-2(4)²+5(4)+1

64-32+20+1
