Answer:

1 3/4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The line plot below shows the heights of flowers in a garden.

To Find:

How much taller is the tallest flower than the shortest flower?

Solve:

Knowing that each dot represent it's heights.

Let's makes a table:

6 1/2 ⇒ О О

6 3/4 ⇒ О

7 ⇒ ОООО

7 1/4 ⇒ ОООООО

7 1/2 ⇒ ОООО

7 3/4 ⇒ ОО

8 ⇒ none

8 1/4 ⇒ О

8 1/2 ⇒ none

It's also given that the tallest flower and the shortest flower.

Which is:

Smallest → 6 1/2

Tallest → 8 1/4

Now all we have to do is subtract tallest flower from the shortest flower.

8 1/4 - 6 1/2

Break off 1 from 8 : 8 1/4 = 7 5/4

Now we have:

7 5/4 - 6 1/2

Subtract whole number: 7 - 6 = 1

Combine fraction:

5/4 - 1/2 = 3/4

1 + 3/4

= 1 3/4 inches

Hence, the answer is [B] 1 3/4

Find the number of roots for each equation. 5. 5x4 + 12x3 – x2 + 3x + 5 = 0

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

The number of roots for equation $5x^4 + 12x^3 – x^2 + 3x + 5 = 0$ is 4 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given function polynomial is :

$P(x) : 5x^4 + 12x^3 – x^2 + 3x + 5 = 0$

The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra says that a polynomial of degree n will have exactly n roots (counting multiplicity).

Now here, the degree if the polynomial is 4 (highest power of variable x).

So, according to the Fundamental Theorem, the given polynomial can have AT MOST 4 roots, counting Multiplicity.

Hence, the number of roots for equation $5x^4 + 12x^3 – x^2 + 3x + 5 = 0$ is 4 .

x + y = 24 where x and y are the 2 parts of diagonal Other diagonal wil be smaller that 24.
x^2 + z^2 = 13^2
y^2 + z^2 = 20^2 where z = 0.5 * length of smaller diagonal)

form last 2 equations

y^2 - x^2 = 20^2 - 13^2 = 231
now y = 24-x so we have

(24 - x)^2 - x^2 = 231

576 - 48x = 231

48x = 345

x = 7.1875

z^2 = 13^2 - 7.1875^2 = 117.34
z = 1.83

so smaller diagonal = 21.66 cm

looks like its the third choice.
