A carpenter wants to place carpet in a bedroom. The area of the rectangular floor is represented by the expression 12x^3 + 18x^2 - 24x If the length of the floor is 6x, what is the width of the floor?

Respuesta :

divide the expression for the area by the length 6x   ( width = area/length)

this gives the width :-

= 2x^2 + 3x - 4   Answer

Answer:

The width of the floor is [tex]2x^2+3x-4[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the area of the rectangular floor is represented by the expression

[tex]12x^3+18x^2-24x[/tex]

The area of a rectangle is

[tex]A=length\times width[/tex]

[tex]\frac{A}{length}=width[/tex]

It is giver that the length of the floor is 6x. So, the width of the floor is

[tex]width=\frac{12x^3+18x^2-24x}{6x}[/tex]

It can be written as

[tex]width=\frac{12x^3}{6x}+\frac{18x^2}{6x}-\frac{24x}{6x}[/tex]

[tex]width=2x^2+3x-4[/tex]

Therefore the width of the floor is [tex]2x^2+3x-4[/tex].
