Answer:

Lets take all factors into consideration first

The door is a rectangle and the area of a rectangle is length times width

Let the width be w

Let the length be l

Equation length × breadth = area

(w+48)w = 3024

w^2 + 48w = 3024

w^2 + 48w - 3024 = 0

w^2 + 84w - 36w - 3024 = 0

w(w + 84) -36 ( w + 84) = 0

(w + 84) (w - 36) = 0

w + 84 = 0 AND w - 36 =0

w = -84 and w = 36

Since width cannot be negative, the right answer is 36

How did I get 84 and 36? Well, I had to factorize 3024 and since 84 times 36 is 3024 and 84 minus 36 is 48, I chose them.

the function of y= x^2 - 4x + 8 approximates the height y, of a bird and its horizontal distance, x as it flies from one fence p

Vika [28.1K]

Rewrite the given equation as
$y=x^2-4x+8=x^2-4x+4+4=(x-2)^2+4$ .
Since $(x-2)^2\ge 0$ , you can conclude that the imimum value of y will be gained for the minimum value of $(x-2)^2$ . The minimum value of $(x-2)^2$ is 0 for x=2.
So, y(2)=0+4=4.
Answer: minimum value of y is 4, when x=2.
