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:
b. 65
a. The notation f(-2) means that we want to evaluate the value of the equation when x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
A. The notation f(-2) means that we want to evaluate the value of the equation when x = -2
B. We will simply substitute the value of 2 for x
f(x) = 6(8-x) + 5
f(-2) = 6(8 - (-2)) + 5
f(-2) = 6(8 + 2) + 5
f(-2) = 6(10) + 5 = 60 + 5 = 65
We can create the equation like this:
(x +2) * (x +0)
x^2 + 2x + 0 = 0
