The area of a rectangular park is 3/5 square mile. The length of the park is 7/8 mile. What is the width of the park?

Width of the park = 24 / 35 mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the park = 7/8 mile

Area of rectangular park = 3/5 square mile

Find:

Width of the park

Computation:

Area of rectangular park = Length of the park x Width of the park

3/5 = 7/8 x Width of the park

Width of the park = 24 / 35 mile

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.
