rectangular windows are being made into a wall of windows for an office building. each wall is 14 feet tall and 12 feet wide. the wall will be divided into x columns and into x + 7 rows. find the area of one of these windows.

  168/(x² +7x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of each window is 14/(x+7), and the width of each window is 12/x. The area of each window is the product of its height ans width:

  area = (14/(x+7))(12/x) = 168/(x(x +7))

  area = 168/(x² +7x)

Comment on the problem

There is not enough information given to determine suitable values for x. If x is 42, each window is a square 3 3/7 inches on a side.

step-by-step explanation:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.

step-by-step explanation:

given that megan owns a clothing boutique.

the profits of 2010, 11, are recorded and shown as follows:

years since     2010 0     1     2     3       4       5

profits made in 1000's   39       84     111     120   111     84

we find that profit gradually increases form 2010 to 2013 upto 120,   then starts decreasing.

the profits for 2012 and 2014 are the same while that of 2011 and 2015 are also the same.

this shows that there is symmetry about the line profit = 120000

hence answer is:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.
