Answer:
a = - 5, a = - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
a² + 8a + 15 = 0 ← in standard form
(a + 3)(a + 5) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for a
a + 3 = 0 ⇒ a = - 3
a + 5 = 0 ⇒ a = - 5
So the “certain number” will be S.
Since 2width + 2length, the first part would be 2 times 2 which is 4
The length is S - 3
We then have to multiply this by 2
So it is 2(S-3) which is 2S-6
So the answer is 4+2S-6 which is 2S-2
The radius of the cylinder would be 17.99544
This is an exam! You are not supposed too cheat!
