Question

A projector displays an image on a wall. the area(in square feet) of the rectangular projection can be represented by


`x{2} - 8x * + 15`
a) Write a binomial that represents the height of the projection. ​

Answer 1

The height of the projection will be (x - 5) feet.

Explanation:

A projector displays an image on a wall. The area (in square feet) of the rectangular projection can be represented by (x² - 8x + 15).

Now to get the width and the height of the rectangular projection we have to factorize the expression (x² - 8x + 15).

Here, (x² - 8x + 15)

= x² - 3x - 5x + 15

= (x- 3)(x - 5)

Now, if the height of the projection is less than its width then, the height of the projection will be (x - 5) feet. (Answer)
