The length of the shortest side is DC

<h3>How to determine the shortest side?</h3>

As a general rule in triangle;

The smallest angle in a triangle is opposite the shortest side.

Similarly, the largest angle in a triangle is opposite the largest side.

From the given figure of triangles, the smallest angle is angle CBD with a measure of 47 degrees.

The side opposite this angle is side length DC

Hence, the length of the shortest side is DC

According to the Rational Root Theorem, what are all the potential rational roots of f(x) = 15x11 – 6x8 + x3 – 4x + 3?

scoundrel [369]

we have

$f(x) = 15x^{11} -6x^{8} + x^{3} - 4x + 3$

we know that

<u>The Rational Root Theorem</u> states that when a root 'x' is written as a fraction in lowest terms

$x=\frac{p}{q}$

p is an integer factor of the constant term, and q is an integer factor of the coefficient of the first monomial.

in this problem

the constant term is equal to $3$

and the first monomial is equal to $15x^{11}$ -----> coefficient is $15$

possible values of p are $1, and\ 3$

possible values of q are $1, 3, 5, and\ 15$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

The all potential rational roots of f(x) are

(+/-) $\frac{1}{15}$ ,(+/-) $\frac{1}{5}$ ,(+/-) $\frac{1}{3}$ ,(+/-) $\frac{3}{5}$ ,(+/-) $1$ ,(+/-) $3$

MCE = 360 - (150 + 70 + 50)
mCE = 360 - 270
mCE = 90

<CDE = 1/2(mBE + mCE)
<CDE = 1/2(150 + 90)
<CDE = 1/2(240)
<CDE = 120

answer
<CDE = 120°

lutik1710 [3]

<span>y=-3x has slope = -3
</span><span>
perpendicular lines, slope is opposite and reciprocal
so slope of </span>perpendicular = 1/3

answer
