A = L * W........x = W
L = 2x + 3
A = 119

119 = x(2x + 3)
119 = 2x^2 + 3x
2x^2 + 3x - 119 = 0
(2x + 17)(x - 7) = 0

2x + 17 = 0
2x = -17
x = - 17/2 or - 8.5....wont work because it is negative

x - 7 = 0           L = 2x + 3
x = 7                L = 2(7) + 3
                        L = 14 + 3
                        L = 17

so the width (x) = 7 inches and the length (L) = 17 inches...
the equation used was : 119 = x(2x + 3)...or 2x^2 + 3x - 119 = 0...not sure which equation they want...but they are the same

Cassidy's diving platform is 6 ft above the water. One of her dives can
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Before coming back up to the surface the maximum depth, Cassidy went was 6.25 ft. below the water surface

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of Cassidy's diving platform above the water = 6 ft.

The equation that models her dive is d = x² - 7·x + 6

Where;

d = Her vertical position or distance from the water surface

x = Here horizontal distance from the platform

At Cassidy's maximum depth, we have;

dd/dx = d(x² - 7·x + 6)/dx = 2·x - 7 = 0

x = 7/2 = 3.5

∴ At Cassidy's maximum depth, x = 3.5 ft.

The maximum depth, d_{max} = d(3.5) = 3.5² - 7 × 3.5 + 6 = -6.25

The maximum depth, Cassidy went before coming back up to the surface = d_{max} = -6.25 ft = 6.25 ft. below the surface of the water.

Given: sin ∅= 4/5 and cos x = -5/13 ; evaluate the following expression.<br><br> tan( ∅ - x )
Pavlova-9 [17]

By definition of tangent,

tan(θ - x) = sin(θ - x) / cos(θ - x)

Expand the sine and cosine terms using the angle sum identities,

sin(x ± y) = sin(x) cos(y) ± cos(x) sin(y)

cos(x ± y) = cos(x) cos(y) ∓ sin(x) sin(y)

from which we get

tan(θ - x) = (sin(θ) cos(x) - cos(θ) sin(x)) / (cos(θ) cos(x) + sin(θ) sin(x))

Also recall the Pythagorean identity,

cos²(x) + sin²(x) = 1

from which we have two possible values for each of cos(θ) and sin(x):

cos(θ) = ± √(1 - sin²(θ)) = ± 3/5

sin(x) = ± √(1 - cos²(x)) = ± 12/13

Since there are 2 choices each for cos(θ) and sin(x), we'll have 4 possible values of tan(θ - x) :

• cos(θ) = 3/5, sin(x) = 12/13 :

tan(θ - x) = -56/33

• cos(θ) = -3/5, sin(x) = 12/13 :

tan(θ - x) = 16/63

• cos(θ) = 3/5, sin(x) = -12/13 :

tan(θ - x) = -16/63

• cos(θ) = -3/5, sin(x) = -12/13 :

tan(θ - x) = 56/33
