A digital photgraph is 30 pixel longer than it is wide and has a total area of 4000 pixels. Find the dimensions of this photograph. \n" ); document.write( "Let x = width (in pixels) \n" ); document.write( "then \n" ); document.write( "x+30 = length \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "x(x+30) = 4000 \n" ); document.write( "x^2+30x = 4000 \n" ); document.write( "x^2+30x-4000 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "(x+80)(x-50) = 0 \n" ); document.write( "x = {-80, 50} \n" ); document.write( "throw out the negative solution leaving: \n" ); document.write( "x = 50 pixels (width) \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Length: \n" ); document.write( "x+30 = 50+30 = 80 pixels \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Dimensions: \n" ); document.write( "50 by 80 pixels \n" ); document.write( " |
