Problema Solution

The area of a rectangle is given by the expression 2x^4+8x^3-3x^2

20x-5. If the width of the recatangle is given by the expression 2x^2-5,

then find the expression for the length of the rectangle.

Answer provided by our tutors

the area of a rectangle is calculated by the formula


A = w*l, where w is the width and l is the length of the rectangle


A = 2x^4+8x^3-3x^2-20x-5


w = 2x^2-5


A = l*w => l = A/w


we will find the length by dividing the polynomial 2x^4+8x^3-3x^2-20x-5 with 2x^2-5


l = x^2 + 4x + 1
