Answer:
P is complementary to x
Step-by-step explanation:
Complementary means adding to 90 degrees
P+x = 90 degrees
So P is complementary to x
There is a multiple zero at 0 (which means that it touches there), and there are single zeros at -2 and 2 (which means that they cross). There is also 2 imaginary zeros at i and -i.
You can find this by factoring. Start by pulling out the greatest common factor, which in this case is -x^2.
-x^6 + 3x^4 + 4x^2
-x^2(x^4 - 3x^2 - 4)
Now we can factor the inside of the parenthesis. You do this by finding factors of the last number that add up to the middle number.
-x^2(x^4 - 3x^2 - 4)
-x^2(x^2 - 4)(x^2 + 1)
Now we can use the factors of two perfect squares rule to factor the middle parenthesis.
-x^2(x^2 - 4)(x^2 + 1)
-x^2(x - 2)(x + 2)(x^2 + 1)
We would also want to split the term in the front.
-x^2(x - 2)(x + 2)(x^2 + 1)
(x)(-x)(x - 2)(x + 2)(x^2 + 1)
Now we would set each portion equal to 0 and solve.
First root
x = 0 ---> no work needed
Second root
-x = 0 ---> divide by -1
x = 0
Third root
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
Forth root
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
Fifth and Sixth roots
x^2 + 1 = 0
x^2 = -1
x = +/- 
x = +/- i
W/4 divide the two to find the quotient
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
90^2 +90^2 = X^2
8100 + 8100 = x^2
16,200 = x^2
X = √16,200
X = 127.28 feet.
Rounded to the nearest foot = 127 feet.
Answer: The height of the triangle is: " 3.5 cm " .
_______________________________________________________
<u>
Note</u>: The formula/equation for the area, "A" , of a triangle is:
A = (1/2) * b * h ; or write as: A = (b * h) / 2 ;
_________________________________________________
in which: "A = area of the triangle" ;
"b = base length" ;
"h = "[perpendicular] height" ;
_________________________________________________
Given: h = (b/2) ;
A = 12.25 cm²
{Note: Let us assume that the given area was "12.25 cm² " .}.
_________________________________________________
We are to find the height, "h" ;
The formula for the Area, "A", is: A = (b * h) / 2 ;
Let us rearrange the formula ;
to isolate the "h" (height) on one side of the equation;
→ Multiply EACH side of the equation by "2" ; to eliminate the "fraction" ;
2*A = [ (b * h) / 2 ] * 2 ;
to get: " 2A = b * h " ;
↔ " b * h = 2A " ;
Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "b" ; to isolate "h" on one side of the equation:
→ (b * h) / b = (2A) / b ;
to get:
→ h = 2A / b ;
Since "h = b/2" ; subtitute "b/2" for "h" ;
Plug in: "12.25 cm² " for "A" ;
→ b/2 = 2A/b ; → Note: " 2A/b = [2* (12.25 cm²) ] / b " ;
Note: " 2* (12.25 cm²) = 24.5 cm² ;
Rewrite as:
→ b/2 = (24.5 cm²) / b ;
_____________________________________
Cross-multiply: b*b = (24.5 cm²) *2 ;
to get: b² = 49 cm² ;
Take the "positive square root" of each side of the equation" ;
to isolate "b" on one side of the equation ; & to solve for "b" ;
→ +√(b²) = +√(49 cm²) ;
→ b = 7 cm ;
Now, we want to solve for "h" (the height) :
_________________________________________________________
→ h = b / 2 = 7 cm / 2 = 3.5 cm ;
