Question

!28 POINTS! I need help quick!! The area of a rectangle is 2x^2-7x-15. Determine binomials that represent the length and the width if this triangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

(2x +3  )(x-5)

one is the length and one is the width

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2-7x-15

Factor

(2x      )(x      )

What are the factors of -15?  -1*15  and -3*5, 3*-5 , 1*-15

We need 2* one factor ± the other factor = -7

2*-5 +3 = -7

That means the -5 is on the outside and the +3 is on the inside

(2x +3  )(x-5)
