A rectangle has an area of 14y^3-35y.
a. what are the expressions for the length and the width where one dimension is the GCF?
b. does the rectangle exist with the given dimension if y=2? explain.

For this case we have that by definition, the area of a rectangle is given by:

Where:

w: It is the width of the rectangle

l: It is the length of the rectangle

On the other hand, we have that the GCF of two numbers is given by the biggest factor that divides both numbers without leaving remainder.

If we have that the area of the rectangle is:

We find the GCF of 14 and 35:

Thus, the GCF is 7. Then the GCF of the expression is:

Thus, the dimensions of the ractangle can be:

or

If, we have:

The rectangle does exist!

The rectangle does exist!

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.
