Find two numbers, if their sum is 49 and their difference is 1/2 .

amm1812

Answer:

$x=24\frac{3}{4}\\ y=24\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

So we have:

$x +y = 49\\x-y=\frac{1}{2}$

using the elimination method, add the two equations together:

$2x=49\frac{1}{2} \\2x=\frac{99}{2}$

solve for x:

$x=\frac{99}{4}\\x=24\frac{3}{4}$

substitute our value for x back into the first equation we made:

$x+y=49\\(\frac{99}{4}) + y=49\\y=49-\frac{99}{4}\\y=\frac{97}{4} \\ y=24\frac{1}{4}$

therefore,

$x=24\frac{3}{4}\\ y=24\frac{1}{4}$

Given a polynomial f(x), if (x − 4) is a factor, what else must be true?

ollegr [7]

Answer:

$f(4)=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Remainder Theorem states that when you divide a polynomial $f(x)$ by a linear factor $(x-a)$ , where $a$ is a constant, the remainder is $f(x)$ evaluated at $x=a$

Moreover, according to the Factor Theorem, an extension of the Remainder Theorem, if the remainder of the function $f(x)$ is 0 when evaluated at $x=a$ , then $(x-a)$ is said to be a factor of the polynomial $f(x)$

Given the 2 theorems above, it follows that if $(x-4)$ is a factor of $f(x)$ , then the remainder is equal to 0 when $f(x)$ is evaluated at $x=4$
