Question

The area of a rectangle is represented by the polynomial P(x)=x² - 6x +5, a) If the length is (x-1), find the breadth as a first degree polynomial b) If the length is 5 what is its breadth?

Answer 1

To Find:-

• Breadth Of the Rectangle

Given:-

• Area=x²-6x+5
• For length= x-1 and 5

Solution:-

We know

Area of Rectangle= l×b

Here

For length= (x-1)

(x-1) × breadth= x²-6x+5

breadth=(x²-6x+5)÷(x-1)

Refer To The Attachment Number.1 for steps

breadth= (x-5)

For length= (5)

5× breadth=x²-6x+5

breadth=(x²-6x+5)÷5

Refer To The Attachment Number.2 for steps

breadth= x²/5-6x/5+1
