\"%28x%2B4%29%28x%2B14%29=900\"
\n" ); document.write( "how did i get this equation?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the frame is 2 inches thick so theres 2 inches on left side of the length and 2 inches on the right side so thats 4 more inches than the lenth of the picture
\n" ); document.write( "same goes for the width 2 in on top 2 inches on bottom makes 4 more inches added to width
\n" ); document.write( "\"LW=A\" length times width equals area
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=900\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"L=x%2B4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"W=%28x%2B10%29%2B4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"W=x%2B14\"
\n" ); document.write( "back to the equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2B4%29%28x%2B14%29=900\" FOIL (First Outer Inner Last)
\n" ); document.write( "F \"x%2Ax=x%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "O \"x%2A14=14x\"
\n" ); document.write( "I \"4%2Ax=4x\"
\n" ); document.write( "L \"4%2A14=56\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B14x%2B4x%2B56=900\" add like terms
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B18x%2B56=900\"subtract 900 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B18x-844=0\" use quadratic formula to solve
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation with variable
Quadratic equation \"ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0\" (in our case \"1x%5E2%2B18x%2B-844+=+0\") has the following solutons:
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " For these solutions to exist, the discriminant \"b%5E2-4ac\" should not be a negative number.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " First, we need to compute the discriminant \"b%5E2-4ac\": \"b%5E2-4ac=%2818%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A-844=3700\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Discriminant d=3700 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: \"+x%5B12%5D+=+%28-18%2B-sqrt%28+3700+%29%29%2F2%5Ca\".
\n" ); document.write( "
