To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. You have the following information given in the problem above:

 - <span>The length of a rectangle is 7 1/2 inches and its width is 4 3/4 inches

 2. Therefore, the ratio is:

 7 1/2 inches=7.5 inches=15/2=30/4
 4 3/4 inches= 4.75 inches=19/4

 length:width
 30:19

 The answer is the option b: B. 30:19

Ratio is a division in its simplest form. 
To get the ratio of length to width, divide the two then simplify.

In this case, convert the length and width into decimals.

length = 7 1/2 = 7.5
width 4 3/4 = 4.75

ratio of length to width is;
7.5/4.75 = 750/475

This can now be written as; 
750 : 475
Dividing both sides by 25;

= 750/25: 475/25

= 30 : 19

Ms. McGuirk wants to know if she built her son's new sandbox with a perfect right angle or not? The shorter sides are 15 feet an
spayn [35]

Answer:

17 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angle has 3 sides: the adjacent, the opposite and the hypotenuse.

The hypotenuse is the largest side of the right angle

The shorter sides are 15 feet and 8 feet which should represent opposite and adjacent sides respectively

Opposite = 15 feet

Adjacent = 8 feet

Hypotenuse = x feet

Using Pythagoras theorem to solve

Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²

x² = 15² + 8²

x² = 225 + 64

x² = 289

Find the square root of both sides

√x² = √289

x = 17 feet

The 3rd side is 17 feet

Write the general polynomial p(x) if its only zeros are 1 4 and -3 with multiplicites 3 2 and 1 respectively what is the degree
kompoz [17]

Answer:

The 6th degree polynomial is p(x) = (x-1)^3(x-4)^2(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Zeros of a function:

Given a polynomial f(x), this polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2}, x_{n} such that it can be written as: a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})*...*(x-x_n), in which a is the leading coefficient.

Zero 1 with multiplicity 3.

So

p(x) = (x-1)^3

Zero 4 with multiplicity 2.

Considering also the zero 1 with multiplicity 3.

p(x) = (x-1)^3(x-4)^2

Zero -3 with multiplicity 1:

Considering the previous zeros:

p(x) = (x-1)^3(x-4)^2(x-(-3)) = (x-1)^3(x-4)^2(x+3)

Degree is the multiplication of the multiplicities of the zeros. So

3*2*1 = 6

The 6th degree polynomial is p(x) = (x-1)^3(x-4)^2(x+3)
