Using Vieta's Theorem, it is found that c = 72.

<h3>What is the Vieta Theorem?</h3>
  • Suppose we have a quadratic equation, in the following format:

y = ax^2 + bx + c

  • The roots are p and q.

The Theorem states that:

p + q = -\frac{b}{a}

pq = \frac{c}{a}

In this problem, the polynomial is:

x^2 - 17x + c

Hence the coefficients are a = 1, b = -17.

Since the difference of the solutions is 1, we have that:

p - q = 1

p = 1 + q

Then, from the first equation of the Theorem:

p + q = -\frac{b}{a}

1 + q + q = 17

2q = 16

q = 8

p = 1 + q = 9

Now, from the second equation:

pq = \frac{c}{a}

72 = c

c = 72

The length of a photograph is 3cm less than twice the width. The area is 54cm². Find the dimentions of the photograph.
AnnyKZ [126]
L=2w-3 

w(2w-3)=54

2w²- 3w-54=0

A= 2 , B= -3, C= -54

sub values into quadratic formula
 i attached picture of formula

Final answer:  you will be given 2 answers 6 and -4.5. -4.5 is rejected since a negative value cannot represent length because that just doesn't make sense.

w=6

Check:
L=2w-3
=2(6)-3
=12-3
=9
  9*6=54

Therefore the dimensions of the photograph are 6 cm by 9 cm

Find the value of the logarithm Log 182 round answer to the nearest thousandth
Tresset [83]

log(182)=log(2*7*13)

As, log(m*n)=log(m)+log(n)

log(2*7*13)=log(2)+log(7)+log(13)

=0.301029+0.845098+1.13943

=2.26007

=2.260(approximate)

Which kind if triangle is shown? (1point)
Salsk061 [2.6K]
Hey there! :D

None of the sides are equal. We can tell this by just looking at it. If the side BC was a straight side, it would be a right triangle, but it is not. It doesn't have any right angles. 

It is a scalene triangle. It has no equal sides and no equal angles.

I hope this helps!
