Width of the rectangle is 9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let the width of the rectangle be x. Then the length = x - 3. Find dimensions of the rectangle if its area = 54 sq. units

Area of the rectangle = length × width

54 = x (x - 3)

54 = x² - 3x

x² - 3x - 54 = 0

x² + 6x - 9x - 54 = 0 (Using Product Sum rule to factorize)

x(x + 6) - 9(x + 6) = 0

(x + 6)(x - 9) = 0

x = -6, 9 (negative value is neglected)

x = 9 units

Liula [17]
To find t<span>he relative maximum value of the function we need to find where the function has its first derivative equal to 0.

Its first derivative is -7*(2x)/(x^2+5)^2

Answer:

One-way ANOVA

Step-by-step explanation:

One-way ANOVA(analysis of variance) a testing method in statistics that is used to compare the means of two or more independent samples, to check if the differences are statistically significant.

In this case, we have three groups which their various reaction time to caffeine is to be tested using the same testing method (amount of caffeine). Hence the appropriate test to use here is the one-way ANOVA
