The area of a rectangle is represented by x^2-5x-24.if the width of the rectangle is represented by x-8 , express the length of the rectangle as a binomial.

Respuesta :

You can find that by doing -24 / -8 = 3 so the second part will be x+3

( x + 3 )( x - 8 )

To see if it's true we can solve it 
x^2 + 3x - 8x - 24
x^2 - 5x -24

The length of the rectangle represented by x^2-5x-24 is (x+3)

We have given that the,

The area of a rectangle is represented by x^2-5x-24.

We have to determine,

If the width of the rectangle is represented by x-8, express the length of the rectangle as a binomial.

You can find that by doing -24 / -8 = 3

So the second part will be x+3

( x + 3 )( x - 8 )

To see if it's true we can solve it

x^2 + 3x - 8x - 24

x^2 - 5x -24

Therefore the length of the rectangle is (x+3)=0

x=-3

length is not negative therefore length is 3.
