Answer:

  1.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

All areas are in cm^2. For a width w, the border will have an area equal to the product of its centerline length and its width:

  border area = 2((20-w) +(15-w))·w = w(70 -4w)

This area is 32% of the total cover area, so is ...

  0.32(20)(15) = 96

Equating these expressions for the area gives ...

  96 = 70w -4w^2

  w^2 -17.5w = -24 . . . . . divide by -4

  w^2 -17.5w +8.75^2 = -24 +8.75^2 . . . . . complete the square

  (w -8.75)^2 = 52.5625 . . . . simplify

  w -8.75 = ±√52.5625 = ±7.25

A border width only makes sense if it is between 0 and 7.5 cm, so the appropriate value for w is ...

  w = 8.75 ± 7.25 . . . . . . . . . add 8.75

  w = 8.75 -7.25 = 1.50 . . . . . the solution w=16 makes no sense

The border width is 1.5 cm.

 If 2x3 – 4x2 + kx + 10 is divided by (x + 2), the remainder is 4. Find the value of k using remainder theorem. Please help :)​
Vinvika [58]

The polynomial remainder theorem states that the remainder of the division of a polynomial P(x) by x-a is equal to P(a).

Therefore

P(-2)=4\\2\cdot(-2)^3 - 4\cdot(-2)^2 + k\cdot(-2) + 10=4\\-16-16-2k=-6\\-2k=26\\k=-13
