PQ=2PT=2 \times 12=24\Rightarrow QW=PQ+PW=24+8=32 \\ \hat{W} \:  is  \: shared, \widehat{PXW}=\widehat{WQX}\Rightarrow \bigtriangleup PWX\cong \bigtriangleup XWQ \\ \Rightarrow  \frac{WX}{QW}   =  \frac{PW}{WX}  \\ \Rightarrow  {WX}^{2}  = PW.QW = 8 \times 24 = 192\Rightarrow WX =  \sqrt{192}  = 8 \sqrt{3}\: units

Approximate the real zeros of f(x) = 2x^4 - x^3 + x-2 to the nearest tenth
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

-1.0, 1.0

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial function is

f(x) = 2 {x}^{4} - {x}^{3} + x - 2

According to the Rational Roots Theorem, the possible roots of this function are;

\pm1,\pm \frac{1}{2}

We now use the Remainder Theorem to obtain;

f(1) = 2 {(1)}^{4} - {(1)}^{3} + 1 - 2

f(1) = 2 - 1+ 1 - 2 = 0

f( - 1) = 2 {( - 1)}^{4} - {( - 1)}^{3} - 1 - 2  

f( - 1) = 2 + 1 - 1 - 2 = 0

But;

f( \frac{1}{2} ) = - 1.5

f( - \frac{1}{2} ) = - 2.25

Since f(1)=0 and f(-1)=0, the real zeros to the nearest tenth are:

-1.0 and 1.0

Kiki recorded a video of her parakeet repeating phrases that she said. The video is 234 minutes long. Kiki watched the video 212
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

826.8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Lenght of video= 234minutes

number of times watched= 212 times

Based on the information given, we can estimate the number of hours spent watching the video

=234*212

=49608 minutes

in hours

=49608/60

=826.8 hours

in days

=826.8/24

=34.45 days

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

y=-1/2n+44

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of bean stalks, n, represents the x values

The yield, y, represents the y values

After reading the problem, we have two coordinates: (30,29) and (32, 28) Because this problem is asking for y=mn+b, we have to find the slope. How do we find the slope? We do so by using the slope formula y2-y1/x2-x1. Now let's input the coordinates into this formula.

1.) 28-29/32-30 = -1/2

Let's plug -1/2 into y=mn +b

2.) y=-1/2n+b

Now we have to find what b ( y intercept) equals. To find B, we plug a coordinate into x and y. Let's use (30,29)

3.) 29 = -1/2(30)+b

29 = -15 +b

44 = b

We have now found the linear relationship form for this problem: y=-1/2n +44
