Question

The area of sandbox in park is represented by 2X^2-5x-3 find the dimensions of the sandbox in terms of

Answer 1

The dimension of the sandbox is (2x+1) by (x - 3)

Explanation:

It seems the complete question will be:

The area of sandbox in park is represented by 2X^2-5x-3 find the dimensions of the sandbox in terms of x.

Explanation:

From the question, the given expression is 2X^2-5x-3. This can be rewritten as

`2x^(2) -5x-3`

If the area of the sandbox in park is represented by this expression, then the dimensions of the sandbox will be the product of the factors. To determine the factors, we will factorize the given quadratic expression.

Factorizing the expression
`2x^(2) -5x-3`, we get

`2x^(2) -6x+x-3`

`2x(x-3)+1(x-3)`

`(2x+1)(x-3)`

Hence, the dimension of the sandbox is (2x+1) by (x - 3)
