Algebra moira buys a new rectangular rug that is 3 inches shorter than her old rectangular rug. the area of the new rug is (x2 + 2x - 15)in2. describe the width of moira’s new rug in terms of the length of her old rug. moira’s new rug is (blank) inches (blank) than the length of her old rug. choices 7, 5, 0, 15 | narrower, wider

   5 inches wider

Step-by-step explanation:

The given area expression factors as ...

  x² +2x -15 = (x -3)(x +5)

Apparently, we're to assume that these factors represent length times width, and the factor x-3 corresponds to a length that is 3 inches shorter than the old length (x). Then the width is (x+5), which is 5 inches wider than the old length.

step-by-step explanation:

the answer would be d.

step-by-step explanation:

move all variables to the left side and all constants to the right side

(x−3)^2+(y−1)^2=16

this is the form of a circle. use this form to determine the center and radius of the circle.

( x − h ) 2 + ( y − k ) 2 = r 2

match the values in this circle to those of the standard form. the variable   r   represents the radius of the circle,   h   represents the x-offset from the origin, and   k   represents the y-offset from origin.

r = 4

h = 3

k = 1

the center of the circle is found at   ( h , k ) .

center:   ( 3 , 1 )

these values represent the important values for graphing and analyzing a circle.

center:   ( 3 , 1 ).

radius:   4
