The height of a triangle is 3cm less than the length of its base and is area is 27m,find the height

1 answer:

6 0

Area of a triangle=bh/2

27= x(x-3)/2
27= (x^2-3x)/2
54= x^2-3x
x^2-3x-54=0
(x-9)(x+6)=0

x=9, x=-6.
In this case, x must equal 9 since the base cannot be a negative number.

Final answer: Height=6 m

Three roots of the polynomial equation x4 - 4x3 - 2x2 + 12x + 9 = 0 are 3, -1 and -1. Explain why the fourth root must be a real

LiRa [457]

Descares Theorem says that the number of roots of a polynomial is equal to its highest exponent, and the roots could be real and/or imaginary (complex).

However is their is one complex root (a + i.b), it's conjugate is also
a root (a-i.b).

In the equation x⁴ - 4x³ - 2x² + 12x + 9 = 0, we have already 3 roots, then the 4rth cannot be a complex one since we don't have a fifth for its conjugate.

Steven combines 7.49 liters of red paint with 6.26 liters of blue paint to make purple paint. He pours the paint equally into 4

kondaur [170]

Answer:

3.3075 liters of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

7.40 (red paint) + 6.26 (blue paint ) = 13.66 (purple paint)

He pours 13.66 liters of purple paint equally into 4 containers and has 0.43 liters left.

x + x + x + x = 13.66 - 0.43

4x = 13.23

x = 13.23/4

x = 3.3075
