Question

The area of a small square sample of carpet is 2w² - 7w – 15 in square yards. Which of the following could be the length of the sample?

Answer 1

so w is the width?

Answer 2

w2^2-7w

Answer 3

Area is length*width so if you can factor the polynomial into two binomials either could be the length of the sample

Answer 4

this is a really really really dumb way to ask you to factor
\[2w^2-7w-15\]

Answer 5

try \((w-5)(2w+3)\)

Answer 6

so it would be 2w+5

Answer 7

no it would be w+5

Answer 8

So is it right

Answer 9

hello

Answer 10

If the shape of a sample is a square with the area of \[ 2w² - 7w – 15\] square yards, then one side is equal to \[ \sqrt{ 2w² - 7w – 15}\] yards.
