-(1/4 w + 8) + 8 = 3
-1/4 w - 8 = 3 - 8 = -5
1/4w = -8 + 5 = -3
w = 4 x -3 = -12
w = -12
Answer:16/15
Step-by-step explanation:
Descares Theorem says that the number of roots of a polynomial is equal to its highest exponent, and the roots could be real and/or imaginary (complex).
However is their is one complex root (a + i.b), it's conjugate is also
a root (a-i.b).
In the equation x⁴ - 4x³ - 2x² + 12x + 9 = 0, we have already 3 roots, then the 4rth cannot be a complex one since we don't have a fifth for its conjugate.
length = 15
let the width = w then length = 2w - 3
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
= 2(2w - 3 + w) = 2( 3w - 3) = 6w - 6 = 48
hence 6w = 48 + 6 = 54 ⇒ w =
= 9
Thus length = 2w - 3 = (2× 9) - 3 = 18 - 3 = 15
