Answer:

The another root of the polynomial x^2-4x+1=0  is 2-\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

let x=2+\sqrt{3} is a polynomial root.

Subtracting both sides by 2, we get

x-2=\sqrt{3}

Squaring both sides, we get

(x-2)^2=(\sqrt{3})^2

x^2+4-4x=3

On solving we get,

x^2-4x+1=0

Using quadratic formula:

x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

If one of the root of the polynomial is 2+\sqrt{3} ; then another root by quadratic formula is 2-\sqrt{3}

or else we can say that irrational roots will always come in conjugate pairs.

Sso, if 2+\sqrt{3}is a root, then 2-\sqrt{3} is also a root.

We are given the root of a polynomial root 2 + sqrt(3) in which we are asked in the problem to determine the other root of the polynomial. SInce this is an irrational number, then the other root should be the conjugate of that number.Hence the answer to this problem should be 2 - sqrt 3.

This is a question I don't quite understand, will someone please help me?

Problem 1) xy means "x times y". The multiplication symbol is left out because its implied. You can write x*y if you wish. Or we can say "product of two numbers" since a product in math terms is the result of multiplication.
---------------------------------------------
Problem 2) x/y means "x divided by y" which is a fraction
---------------------------------------------
Problem 3)
Writing "x-y" is the same as saying "x minus y"
---------------------------------------------
Problem 4)
x+y is "x plus y", or we can say "the sum of x and y". The "sum" is "result of adding two or more values"
---------------------------------------------
Problem 5)
y-x is "y minus x" or we can say "x subtracted from y"
---------------------------------------------
Problem 6)
y division symbol x is essentially the flip of problem 2. We'd say "y divided by x"
---------------------------------------------
Problem 7)
x+y = 6 is "the sum of two numbers is 6". See problem 4 above.
---------------------------------------------
Problem 8)
xy = 6 is "the product of two numbers is 6". This is an extension of problem 1.
---------------------------------------------
Problem 9)
6x = y is "six times a number equals y" when translated out
---------------------------------------------
Problem 10)
y = x-6 would translate to "six less than a number is y"
where the "a number" portion is represented by x

<h3>Answer: Choice 2)  sin(B) = cos(90-B)</h3>

Explanation:

The rule is that

sin(A) = cos(B)

if and only if A+B = 90.

Solving for A gets A = 90-B

So we end up with

sin(90-B) = cos(B)

which is the same as

cos(B) = sin(90-B)

What is the shortest possible distance between the houses?<br><br>Please help me!!​
Nesterboy [21]

If the two distance provided are the two legs, you are looking for the hypotenuse. Use the pyth. theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

c^2=5^2+12^2

c^2=25+144

c^2=169

c=13

answer: B
