The ratio of two sides of a parallelogram is 3:4 and the perimeter is 28 in. Find the lengths of the sides of the parallelogram.

the lengths of sides are 8 and 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us denote side lengths of the parallelogram as x and y.  

Then first condition can be written as x/y=3/4.

Second condition can be written as 2x+2y=28.

We can multiply both sides of the first equation by y and get x=(3y)/4.

Now we have x expressed in terms of y. It is convenient because we can substitute x in the second equation:

2(3y/4)+2y=28  

And we can solve it for y.

1.5y+2y=28

3.5y=28

y=8

What is left is to find x. We may use the expression for x again: x=(3*8)/4=6

Ans: the lengths of sides are 8 and 6.

f(x) = x^3 -2x^2 -3x

x( x^2 -2x-3)

x( x^2 +x -3x -3)

x( x(x+1) -3(x+1))

x( x-3)( x+1)

so zeroes are 0, 3,-1
