Answer:
a. A(x) = 3x² - 8x + 5
b. x = ⁸/₃
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
A(x) = shaded area
A(x) = (2x - 3)² - (x - 2)²
= 4x² - 12x + 9 - (x² - 4x + 4)
= 4x² - x² - 12x + 4x + 9 - 4
= 3x² - 8x + 5
b.
ΔABF area = ⁵/₄ cm²
A(x) = 4(⁵/₄)
= 5
Substitution:
3x² - 8x + 5 = A(x) = 5
3x² - 8x + 5 = 5
3x² - 8x = 0
x(3x - 8) = 0
3x - 8 = 0
x = ⁸/₃
x = 0
Since x > 2, x = 0 is not valid;
So, x = ⁸/₃
