Question

The area of the rectangle shown is given by the function A(x) = 2x2 - 5x. If the width of the rectangle is 13, what is the area?

Answer 1

we know that
area of rectangle=length*width
let
x-----> the length side
y-----> the width side
y=13 units

A=2x²-5x
A=x*y------> 2x²-5x=x*13------> 2x²-18x=0-----> x²-9x=0
x*(x-9)=0
the solutions are
x=0
x=9

hence
the dimensions of the rectangle are
length is 9 units
width is 13 units

the area of rectangle is -----> 9*13-----> 117 units²

the answer is
117 units²
