-6.2 plus -4.8 is -11. add the 3.8 to get -7.2
-4.8 plus 3.8 is -1
-1 plus -6.2 is -7.2
-7.2=-7.2
Answer:
This (x - 5) represents the length of the rectangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a rectangle of length L and width W is A = L * W.
Here, the width is x - 4 and the area is x^2 + x - 20. Dividing the width (x - 4) into the area results in an expression for the length:
x - 4 / x^2 + x - 20
Let's use synthetic division here. It's a little faster than long division.
If the divisor in long division is x - 4, we know immediately that the divisor in synthetic division is 4:
4 / 1 1 -20
4 20
--------------------
1 5 0
This synthetic division results in a remainder of 0. This tells us that 4 (or the corresponding (x - 4) is indeed a root of the polynomial x^2 + x - 20, and so *(x - 4) is a factor. From the coefficients 1 and 5 we can construct the other factor: (x - 5). This (x - 5) represents the length of the rectangle.

Answer:
Graphing the derivative with the function can illustrate how to find these turning points. The function is increasing exactly where the derivative is positive, and decreasing exactly where the derivative is negative. On the graph of the derivative find the x-value of the zero to the left of the origin.
