Answer:
x = 7, x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the zeros by factoring the equation using the zero product property.
x^2-4x-21 = 0
(x-7)(x+3) = 0
<u>x-7 = 0</u>
x = 7
<u>x+3 = 0</u>
x = -3
Zeros are x=7 and x= -3.
We know that
if <span>QT is an altitude of triangle QRS
then
</span><span>the measure of angle QTS is equal to 90</span>°
so
6x+36=90-----> 6x=90-36----> x=54/6
x=9
QR=2x-5-----> QR=2*9-5-----> QR=18-5-----> QR=13
the answer is
QR=13
Usually, rugs have a rectangular shape, therefore the section of the living room that Patrick wants to cover is a rectangle.
The area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying the length and the width of the rectangle:
A = l × w
Hence, the most appropriate measurements Patrick should provide are the length and the width of the section of his living room he wants to cover.
