Write a polynomial of least degree with rational coefficients, a leading coefficient of 1, and zeros at 3 and sqr root 7. Expand
Tresset [83]

Answer:

(x-3)(x^2-7) = x^3 -3x^2 -7x + 21

just change the sign of the root and put x in front of it, then multiply the factors all together

(x-3)(x-sqr7)(x+sqr7)    roots come in conjugate pairs to eliminate irrational coefficients

(x-sqr7)(x+sqr7) = x^2-7.  similar to (a-b)(a+b) = a^2-b^2

In the figure, one side of the rectangle divides the circle in half.
Setler79 [48]
A(rectangle)=5*12=60
A(circle)=(pi)(r^2)
r=(1/2)(5)=2.5
A(circle)=(3.14)(2.5)^2
A(circle)=19.625
Shaded Circle=1/2
(1/2)(19.625)=9.8125
A of unshaded=60-9.8125
A=50.1875 ft

There are 7 animals a farmer's field.
sergey [27]

Answer:

2 cows and 5 chickens.

Step-by-step explanation:

NOTE: This will be solved using simultaneous equations.

Let x = cows and y = chickens

1. form two equations

4x + 2y = 18 ... (1)

x + y = 7 .... (2)

2. make y (or x) the subject of one equation

x + y = 7

y = 7 - x ... (3)

3. Substitute (3) into (1)

4x + 2( 7 - x) = 18

4. solve for x

4x + 14 - 2x = 18

2x = 4

x = 2

5. Now substitute x value into equation (2)

x + y = 7

2 + y = 7

y = 5

∴ cows (x) = 2

chickens (y) = 5

William sold half of his comic books and then bought 14 more he now has 24 with how many did he have in the beginning
Lera25 [3.4K]
Let the number of comic books be X
if we add 14 to X = 24
so we will find the value of X to get half initial number of comic books William had.
14+X=24
X=24-14
X=10
so the total innitial number of comic books William had is 10+10=20 books.
