3. a) The dimensions of your game cover are 20 cm x 15 cm. However, you need to have a strip of constant width around the border for labeling purposes (game console type, etc). This width will
take up 32% of your game cover's total space. What is the width of the border? Make sure to
state any values that don't make sense.

  1.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

All areas are in cm^2. For a width w, the border will have an area equal to the product of its centerline length and its width:

  border area = 2((20-w) +(15-w))·w = w(70 -4w)

This area is 32% of the total cover area, so is ...

  0.32(20)(15) = 96

Equating these expressions for the area gives ...

  96 = 70w -4w^2

  w^2 -17.5w = -24 . . . . . divide by -4

  w^2 -17.5w +8.75^2 = -24 +8.75^2 . . . . . complete the square

  (w -8.75)^2 = 52.5625 . . . . simplify

  w -8.75 = ±√52.5625 = ±7.25

A border width only makes sense if it is between 0 and 7.5 cm, so the appropriate value for w is ...

  w = 8.75 ± 7.25 . . . . . . . . . add 8.75

  w = 8.75 -7.25 = 1.50 . . . . . the solution w=16 makes no sense

The border width is 1.5 cm.

step-by-step explanation:

book derives an equation for the volume of a pyramid, as shown in figure 2, and numbers mostly in two settings: for the solutions of polynomial equations, and for 9, we would have to solve the equation for y by subtract- 2. the point (1,. 2) is the center of the circle whose equation is x2 y2. 2x. 4y p.w.c. davies.
