Answer:

the triangle must be assumed to be a right triangle
AB = 148.4 yards
segment AB is shorter than the curved path

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1: The main assumption required is the one required to use the hint. The triangle must be assumed to be a right triangle.

Part 2: The approximate distance AB is the hypotenuse of the assumed right triangle, so will satisfy the Pythagorean theorem. For distances in yards, ...

AB² = 80² +125² = 22025

AB = √22025 ≈ 148.4 . . . . . yards

The approximate length across the pond is 148.4 yards.

Part 3: A straight line is the shortest path between two points. Segment AB is a straight line path, so the length of segment AB will be shorter than any curved path between A and B.

Which of the following are possible rational roots of the polynomial function f(x)=5x^2-3x+3

yanalaym [24]

You didn't post any option, but the ration roots theorem states that all possible rational roots of a polynomial come in the form

$\pm\dfrac{p}{q}$

where p divides the constant term and q divides the leading term of the polynomial. So, in your case, p divides 3 (i.e. it is 1 or 3), and q divides 5 (i.e. it is 1 or 5).

So, the possible roots are

$\pm 1,\quad \pm 3,\quad \pm\dfrac{1}{5},\quad \pm\dfrac{3}{5}$

For the record, this parabola has no real roots.

Sarah has a savings account with $6,000 in it that earns 5.6% simple interest per year.

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

$7,008

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P(1 + rt)

P = $6000

r = 0.056 (percent in decimal form)

t = 3 years

A = 6000(1 + (0.056)(3))

A = 6000(1 + 0.168)

A = 6000(1.168)

A = $7,008
