Answer:

3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the ratio of a to b, or a/b

9/17 = 3a/ (a+b)

Multiply each side by 17

17*9/17 =17* 3a/ (a+b)

9 = 51 a/ (a+b)

Multiply each side by (a+b)

9 (a+b) = 51a

Distribute  the 9

9a +9b = 51a

Subtract 9a from each side

9a-9a +9b =51a-9a

9b = 42a

Divide each side by b

9b/b = 42a/b

9 = 42a/b

Divide each side by 42

9/42 = a/b

But we can simplify 9/42 because each is divisible by 3, so divide 9 and 42 by 3

3/14 = a/b

f(x)=3x^(4)-5x^(3)-5x^(2)+5x+2 The number 3 is an upper bound for the set of roots of this polynomial function True or False
Leona [35]

Answer: TRUE

Step-by-step explanation: The number 3 is an upper bound because use 3 as a multiplyer of each bcoefficient of the polynomial and at each multiple,subtract the next coefficient from it. if all result after subtraction show positive, then the number used is an upper bound. This method is known as the synthetic division.

Kruka [31]

Answer:

x=17

Step-by-step explanation:

(6x+10)(x+17)(4x-34)

6x+10+x+17+4x-34=180

Add:- 6x+x+4x=11x

and 10+17-34=-7

So, 11x-7=180

Add 7 to both sides:-

11x=187

Divide both sides by 11:-

\frac{11x}{11}=\frac{187}{11}

x=17
