given a rectangle with length (L) and width
(W)
L = (x^5)/(x+1)
W =
(x+1)/x^3
Also given that the area of the rectangle =
16
But the area A is:
A = L *w
= 16
==> (x^5)/(x+1) * (x+1)/x^3 =
16
Reduce similar
terms:
==> x^5/ x^3 =
16
But we know that: x^a/x^b =
x^(a-b):
==> x^(4-3) =
16
==> x^2 =
16
==> x=
4
Now to find the sides of the
rectangle, we will substitue with x=
4:
L = x^5/(x+1) = 4^5/(5) =
1024/5 = 204.8
W = (x+1)/x^3 =
5/4^3 = 5/64=
0.078125
==> L *W =
204.8 * 0.078125 = 16
