Answer:
Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
A = LW formula for area of rectangle
(2x + 1)(2x) = 20 substitute length, width, and area into formula
4x² + 2x - 20 = 0 use the distributive property to multiply out left side
2x² + x - 10 = 0 divide both sides of equation by 2
(2x + 5)(x - 2) = 0 factor out trinomial
2x + 5 = 0 or x - 2 = 0 use zero product rule to solve for x
2x = -5 or x = 2 subtract 5 from both sides; add 2 to both sides
x = -5/2 or x = 2
We discard x = -5/2 since it would give negative length and width, and the length and width cannot be negative.
Length: 2x + 1 = 2(2) + 1 = 5
Width: 2x = 2(2) = 4
Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.
Answer:
- 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that - (- 12) = + 12
Thus
- 17 - (- 12) = - 17 + 12 = - 5
It looks like Tom subtracted 12 from - 17, that is - 17 - 12 = - 29
Answer: The graph crosses the x-axis at x = 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The root has a multiplicity of 3, meaning that it crosses the x axis at x=2.
Answer: 6 yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, multiply the length and the height to get 800. You know now that 800 times the width will be your volume, 4800. To find the width, divide the volume by 800, which is the length times the height. Check your work by doing 40 times 20 times 6. You get 4800, which is your volume, which means your correct!
