area of retangle is x squared+7x+10 . find one possibltiy for width and length. the answer i found is (x+5)(x+2) but it says it is not right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2 + 7x + 10 is the area? So factor to get the width/length: (x + 5) (x+2) Hmm... You can plug in anything, really.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(For X)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is there more to the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no that is it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm.. Can't say. What's the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wouldn't the equation be: LxW = x^2 +7x + 10 in this case?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the smallest area available is "0" So when x = -5 or x=-3 we get an area of "0" as far as I can tell..

OpenStudy (amistre64):

-5 or -2 of couse.....
