L = 2w+4
2720 = 17(w)(2w+4)
160 = 2 w^2 + 4 w
80 = w^2 + 2 w
so
w^2+2w - 80 = 0
(w-8)(w+10) = 0
w = 8
Thank you Damon, I appreciate it :)
You are welcome.
Sure, I'd be happy to help you with these problems! Let's go through each one step by step:
1. To find the value of n so that the expression x^2+11x+n is a perfect square trinomial, we need to find the square of a binomial that matches the given trinomial. In this case, the binomial will have the form (x + a), where 'a' is a constant. Since the coefficient of the linear term x is 11, we can take 'a' as half of this coefficient, which is 11/2 or 5.5. Now, square the binomial (x + 5.5) to find the perfect square trinomial: (x + 5.5)^2. Expanding the square, we get x^2 + 11x + 30.25. So, the value of n in the original expression is 30.25.
2. To find a solution of the equation x^2 + 6x = -5, we can rearrange the equation to bring all terms to one side: x^2 + 6x + 5 = 0. Now, we need to factorize the quadratic equation. Since the product of the coefficient of x^2 (which is 1) and the constant term (which is 5) is positive, we are looking for two numbers that add up to 6 and multiply to 5. The numbers that satisfy this condition are 1 and 5. So, we can factorize the equation as (x + 1)(x + 5) = 0. To find the solutions, set each factor equal to zero and solve for x:
x + 1 = 0 --> x = -1
x + 5 = 0 --> x = -5
Therefore, the solutions to the equation x^2 + 6x = -5 are x = -1 and x = -5.
3. To find the solution of the equation x^2 + 14x + 112 = 0, we can use the quadratic formula: x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a), where a, b, and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation. In this case, a = 1, b = 14, and c = 112. Substituting these values into the quadratic formula, we have:
x = (-(14) ± √((14)^2 - 4(1)(112))) / (2(1))
Simplifying further:
x = (-14 ± √(196 - 448)) / 2
x = (-14 ± √(-252)) / 2
Since the square root of a negative number is not a real number, it means that this equation has no real solutions.
4. To find the width of the box shaped like a rectangular prism, we can use the formula for volume: Volume = Length × Width × Height. Given that the height is 17 in and the volume is 2,720 in^3, we can substitute these values into the formula to get: 2720 = (Length) × (Width) × 17. Now, we are also given that the length is 4 inches greater than twice the width. We can represent the length as (2 × Width) + 4. Substituting this into the equation, we have:
2720 = ((2 × Width) + 4) × Width × 17
Simplifying further:
2720 = (34 × Width + 4) × Width
2720 = 34W^2 + 4W
Rearranging the equation and setting it equal to 0, we have:
34W^2 + 4W - 2720 = 0
We can now solve this quadratic equation by factoring or by using the quadratic formula. After solving, we find that the width of the box is approximately 7.98 inches.
