The area of a rectangle is represented by the function x3 − 3x2 − 40x + 84. the width of the rectangle is x − 7. find the expression representing the length of the rectangle.
x2 + 4x − 12
x2 + 8x + 12
x2 + 2x − 24
x2 + 10x + 14

a is the answer x^2+4x-12

For this case we have that by definition, the area of a rectangle is given by:

Where:

w: It is the width

l: It is the length

According to the data we have to:

Then l = \ frac {x ^ 3-3x ^ 2-40x + 84} {x-7}

According to the attached figure we have that the quotient is

So, the length is

Option A
