The length of a rectangle is
\n" ); document.write( "3 m
\n" ); document.write( " more than twice the width and the area of the rectangle is
\n" ); document.write( "35 m2
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "L = 2W + 3
\n" ); document.write( "L*W = 35
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "sub for L
\n" ); document.write( "W*(2W+3) = 35
\n" ); document.write( "2W^2 + 3W - 35 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation \"ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0\" (in our case \"2x%5E2%2B3x%2B-35+=+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=%283%29%5E2-4%2A2%2A-35=289\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Discriminant d=289 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: \"+x%5B12%5D+=+%28-3%2B-sqrt%28+289+%29%29%2F2%5Ca\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"x%5B1%5D+=+%28-%283%29%2Bsqrt%28+289+%29%29%2F2%5C2+=+3.5\"
\n" ); document.write( " \"x%5B2%5D+=+%28-%283%29-sqrt%28+289+%29%29%2F2%5C2+=+-5\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Quadratic expression \"2x%5E2%2B3x%2B-35\" can be factored:
\n" ); document.write( " \"2x%5E2%2B3x%2B-35+=+%28x-3.5%29%2A%28x--5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( " Again, the answer is: 3.5, -5.\n" ); document.write( "Here's your graph:
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-20%2C+20%2C+2%2Ax%5E2%2B3%2Ax%2B-35+%29\"
