Answer:

BC = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

In the picture attached, the missing triangles are shown:

AB = 10

BD = 5

DE= 12

Then, AD = 10-5 = 5

As a consequence of the "Side Splitter" Theorem:

AD/DE = AB/BC

Replacing with data and solving for BC

5/12 = 10/BC

BC = 10*12/5 = 24

2x² - 5x+1 has roots alpha and beta. Find alpha⁴+beta⁴ without solving the equation.

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\alpha+\beta=\dfrac{5}{2} \\\\\alpha*\beta=\dfrac{1}{2} \\\\\alpha^2+\beta^2=\dfrac{21}{4} \ (see\ previous\ post)\\\\(\alpha+\beta)^4=\dfrac{625}{16} \\\\=\alpha^4+\beta^4+4*\alpha^3*\beta+6*\alpha^2*\beta^2+4*\alpha*\beta^3\\\\=\alpha^4+\beta^4+4*(\alpha*\beta)(\alpha^2+\beta^2)+6*\alpha^2*\beta^2\\\\\alpha^4+\beta^4=(\alpha+\beta)^4-4*(\alpha*\beta)(\alpha^2+\beta^2)-6*\alpha^2*\beta^2\\\\= \dfrac{625}{16} -4*\dfrac{1}{2} *\dfrac{21}{4} -6*(\dfrac{1}{2})^2 \\\\$

$= \dfrac{625}{16}- \dfrac{168}{16}-\dfrac{24}{16}\\\\\\= \dfrac{433}{16}$

Which model best fits the set of data shown on this graph?

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic model is shaped like a "U", or a parabola

Quartic model is shaped like a "W", highest degree is 4 (x^4).

Linear model is a line.

Cubic model is x^3, shaped like a curvy snake.

Looking at the graph, it <em>clearly</em> shows a line. So, linear model is the answer.

C is the correct answer.
