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.
The answer is x=-7 and x=-1
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
So, she practices 12 hrs per week, and already has practiced 3 hrs this week.
This means she has 9 hrs left to practice.
3/4 of an hour is one session, so to find out the number of sessions she needs, you have to do (9 hours)/(one session)
which is basically 9 / ( 3/4)
She needs 12 more sessions.
Commutative property of multiplication is what the property is called.
A * B = B * A
Where both 'A' and 'B' are expressions.
Hope this helps!
