Problema Solution

The area of a rectangular field is given by the trinomial t^2-4t-45. The length of the rectangle is t-5. What is the expression for the width of the field?

Answer provided by our tutors

Area = t^2-4t-45

Length = t-5

Width = ?

Area = Length*Width

Width = Area/Length

Width = (t^2-4t-45)/(t - 5)

Width = (t - 9)(t + 5)/(t - 5)
