Answer:

  7.1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the side length of the square. The Pythagorean theorem tells you the relationship to the diagonal length is ...

  (10 cm)² = s² +s² . . . . the sum of the squares of the legs is the square of the hypotenuse

  100 cm² = 2s² . . . . . . simplify

  50 cm² = s² . . . . . . . . divide by 2

  √(50) cm = s ≈ 7.1 cm . . . . . take the square root

The length of a side of the square to the nearest tenth is 7.1 cm.

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

0, ±1, ±7,±1/3, and ±7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

In the function:

3x^5 - 2x² + 7x

x can be extracted as the greatest common factor, as follows:

x(3x^4 - 2x + 7)

then, zero is one root of the function.

According to Rational Root Theorem:

possible rational roots = factors of the constant/factors of the leading coefficient

For this case, factors of the constant (7) are: ±1 and ±7

For this case, factors of the leading coefficient (3) are: ±1 and ±3

Then:

possible rational roots =  ±1/±1, ±7/±1, ±1/±3 and ±7/±3. Simplifying: ±1, ±7,±1/3, and ±7/3
