A rectangle has an area of (x2 − 17x + 72) square units. Since the area of a rectangle is determined using the formula, A = lw, what could be the length and width of the rectangle? length = (x − 8) units and width = (x − 9) units
length = (x + 9) units and width = (x + 8) units
length = (x − 6) units and width = (x − 12) units
length = (x + 12) units and width = (x + 6) units

length = (x − 8) units and width = (x − 9) units

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factor

x^2 - 17x + 72

We need two numbers whose product is 72 and whose sum is -17.

The numbers are -8 and -9.

x^2 - 17x + 72 = (x - 8)(x - 9)

length = (x − 8) units and width = (x − 9) units

the circle graph is not a function.

step-by-step explanation:

the graph of the circle is not a function.

because for a graph to be a function, each value of x must give one value of y

in the circle, the values of x for -2< x< 2 each give 2 values of y.

hence this is not a function.

175

step-by-step explanation:

2 inches x 10 miles = 200 miles - 3 inches = 175
