Answer:

±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±6 and ±12

Step-by-step explanation:

The potential roots are obtained as following:

potential roots = factors of the constant term / factors of leading coefficient

The constant term is -12, its factors are ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±6 and ±12

The leading coefficient is 1, its factors are  ±1

Therefore the potential roots are ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±6 and ±12

The attendance at a baseball game was 400 people. Student tickets cost $2 and adult tickets cost $3. Total sales were $1050. How
S_A_V [24]
We know the total tickets sold = 400. Let x be the number of adult tickets sold. That means 400 - x is the number of student tickets. The revenue from adult tickets will be $3 * x, which we can call 3x. The revenue from student ticks will be $2 * (400 - x), or 800 - 2x. The total revenue is $1050, so that means: 3x + (800 - 2x) = 1050. Removing the parentheses: 3x + 800 - 2x = 1050 Subtracting 800 from both sides: 3x - 2x = 250 Simplifying the left side: x = 250, which is the number of adult tickets. 400-x = student tickets = 400-250 = 150. ALWAYS check! In this case, check the revenue: 3x = 3(250) = 750 2(150) = 300 750 + 300 = 1050. Check!

Using the triangle pictured, find the measure of side AB. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. A) 1.6 B) 2.2 C) 2.7 D) 3.3
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Option B (AB = 2.2 units).

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows that there are two sides given and one angle is given. Therefore, the sine rule must be used to solve the question. The sine rule can be written as:

sin ABC / AC = sin BAC / BC.

Plugging ABC=72 degrees, AC=2.5, and BC=2.1 in the sine rule gives:

sin 72 / 2.5 = sin BAC / 2.1.

Cross multiplying gives:

sin BAC = (2.1*sin 72)/2.5.

sin BAC = 0.79888747368.

Taking sin inverse on both sides gives:

BAC = arcsin (0.79888747368) = 53.0239949 degrees.

To find AB, first, the angle ACB is required. To find that angle, use the triangular law of angles. All the three angles sum up to 180 degrees. Therefore ACB = 180 - 72 - 53.0239949 = 54.9760051  degrees.

Now applying the Sine Rule to find AB:

sin ACB / AB = sin ABC / AC.

sin (54.9760051) / AB = sin 72 / 2.5.

AB = (2.5*sin (54.9760051))/sin (72) = 2.2 (to the nearest tenth).

Therefore, AB = 2.2 units, i.e. Option B!!!
