<h3>Answer: 14x - 8</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
I'll use the quadratic formula to find the roots or x intercepts. This slight detour allows us to factor without having to use guess-and-check methods.
The equation is of the form ax^2+bx+c = 0
- a = 12
- b = -11
- c = -5
This leads to...
Now use those roots to form these steps
Refer to the zero product property for more info.
Therefore, the original expression factors fully to (4x-5)(3x+1)
Use the FOIL rule to expand it out and you should get 12x^2-11x-5 again.
----------------------------------------------
We did that factoring so we could find the side lengths of the rectangle.
I'm using the fact that area = length*width
- L = length = 4x-5
- W = width = 3x+1
The order of length and width doesn't matter.
From here, we can then compute the perimeter of the rectangle
P = 2(L+W)
P = 2(4x-5+3x+1)
P = 2(7x-4)
P = 14x - 8
Using the fundamental counting theorem, we have that:
- 648 different area codes are possible with this rule.
- There are 6,480,000,000 possible 10-digit phone numbers.
- The amount of possible phone numbers is greater than 400,000,000, thus, there are enough possible phone numbers.
The fundamental counting principle states that if there are p ways to do a thing, and q ways to do another thing, and these two things are independent, there are ways to do both things.
For the area code:
- 8 options for the first digit.
- 9 options for the second and third.
Thus:
648 different area codes are possible with this rule.
For the number of 10-digit phone numbers:
- 7 digits, each with 10 options.
- 648 different area codes.
Then
There are 6,480,000,000 possible 10-digit phone numbers.
The amount of possible phone numbers is greater than 400,000,000, thus, there are enough possible phone numbers.
