Answer:

  A. x(x +4)(3 -x) . . . . a cubic will have 3 linear factors

  B. The dimensions are x, x+4, 3 -x, or 1.694 ft, 5.694 ft, 1.306 ft

  C. x = (√37 -1)/3 ≈ 1.694254 ft

  D. Maximum volume: ≈ 12.597 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The first attachment shows the synthetic division of the given polynomial by x+4. The result is -x^2 +3x = x(3 -x). Hence the factored polynomial is ...

  x(3-x)(x+4) . . . . . . shown as positive

Since the polynomial is a cubic, we know there will be 3 roots. For this problem, that means we expect 3 factors.

__

B. We are apparently to assume that the dimensions of the tank correspond to the three factors:

  • x
  • 3-x
  • x+4

For the maximum size tank (see part C), the corresponding measurements in feet are

  • 1.694 ft
  • 1.306 ft
  • 5.694 ft

__

C. Tank volume will be maximized when the derivative of volume with respect to x is zero. The derivative polynomial is ...

  dV/dx = -3x^2 -2x +12

Solving this by the usual methods, we find the positive value of x to be ...

  x = (-1 +√37)/3 ≈ 1.694254 . . . . feet

__

D. Evaluating the polynomial for this value of x gives ...

  volume ≈ 12.5972 . . . cubic feet

Answer:

U =35.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right angle, we can use trig functions

tan theta = opp/ adj

tan U = 5/7

Take the inverse of each side

tan ^-1 tan U = tan ^-1 (5/7)

U = 35.53767779

Round to the nearest tenth

U =35.5

OI 00<br>R<br>b) From the given figure:<br>write the alternate<br>angle of angle RUN<br>P<br>$<br>2​
Ainat [17]

Answer:

alternate angle to angle RUN is angle POU

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate angles are defined as angles that are located in opposite positions when we look at them relative to a transverse line that intersects two horizontal lines.

Now, we want to find the alternate angle to angle RUN.

The same transverse line cuts the other horizontal line PQ at point O.

Therefore the alternate angle to angle RUN is angle POU
