The area of a rectangle is given by A(x) = x2 + 5x with x being the height and x + 5 being the base. If the area is 14, what is the only viable solution for the height? Why are there not two solutions?

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A(x) = x^2 + 5x

A(x) = x^2 + 5x = 14

x^2 + 5x - 14 = 0

(x + 7)(x - 2) = 0

x + 7 = 0  or  x - 2 = 7

x = -7 or x = 2

x is the height of a rectangle.

The only viable solution is x = 2 because the height of a rectangle cannot be a negative number such as -7.

step-by-step explanation:

first you will have to convert 3/4 into a decimal

which is .75

then you will have to divide 1.5 by .75

which is 2

no you have to divide
