When roots of polynomials occur in radical form, they occur as two conjugates.
That is,
The conjugate of (a + √b) is (a - √b) and vice versa.
To show that the given conjugates come from a polynomial, we should create the polynomial from the given factors.

The first factor is x - (a + √b).
The second factor is x - (a - √b).

The polynomial is
f(x) = [x - (a + √b)]*[x - (a - √b)]
= x² - x(a - √b) - x(a + √b) + (a + √b)(a - √b)
= x² - 2ax + x√b - x√b + a² - b
= x² - 2ax + a² - b

This is a quadratic polynomial, as expected.

If you solve the quadratic equation x² - 2ax + a² - b = 0 with the quadratic formula, it should yield the pair of conjugate radical roots.
x = (1/2) [ 2a +/- √(4a² - 4(a² - b)]
= a +/- (1/2)*√(4b)
= a +/- √b
x = a + √b, or x = a - √b, as expected.

20 POINTS!!! PLZ ANSWER!! On the moon, the time, in seconds, it takes for an object to fall a distance, d, in feet, is given by

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Part a) $f(2)=1.57\ sec$

It takes 1.57 seconds for an object to fall a distance of 2 feet

Part b) see the explanation

Part c) $2,165.43\ sec$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

f(d) -----> the time in seconds it takes for an object to fall

d -----> distance in feet

we have

$f(d)=1.11\sqrt{d}$

Part a): Determine f(2) and explain what it represents

we know that

f(2) represent the time in seconds it takes for an object to fall a distance of 2 feet

For $d=2\ ft$

substitute in the function above and solve for f(2)

$f(2)=1.11\sqrt{2}$

$f(2)=1.57\ sec$

therefore

It takes 1.57 seconds for an object to fall a distance of 2 feet

Part b) The imbrium basin is the largest basin on the moon. A reasonable domain for the height above the lowest point in the basin is given by {d|0 ≤ d ≤ 3805774}

What does this tell you about the basin?

The height of the basin is greater than or equal to 0 ft and less than or equal to 3,805,774 ft

The maximum height of the basin is 3,805,774 ft

Part c) How long would it take a rock to drop from the rim to the bottom of the basin?

we know that

The distance from the rim to the bottom of the basin is equal to the maximum height of the basin

$d=3,805,774\ ft$

substitute the value of d in the function f(d)

$f(d)=1.11\sqrt{3,805,774}$

$f(d)=2,165.43\ sec$

In a 3-digit number, the hundreds digit is one more than the ones digit and the tens digit is twice the hundreds digit. If the s

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The mentioned number in the exercise is:

362

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the mentioned number in the exercise, first you must write the equations you can obtain with it.

If:

x = hundredths digit
y = tens digit
z = ones digit

We can write:

x = z + 1 (the hundreds digit is one more than the ones digit).
y = 2x (the tens digit is twice the hundreds digit).
x + y + z = 11 (the sum of the digits is 11).

Taking into account these data, we can use the third equation and replace it to obtain the number and the value of each digit:

x + y + z = 11
(z + 1) + y + z = 11 (remember x = z + 1)
z + 1 + y + z = 11
z + z +y + 1 = 11 (we just ordered the equation)
2z + y + 1 = 11 (z + z = 2z)
2z + y = 11 - 1 (we passed the +1 to the other side of the equality to subtract)
2z + y = 10
2z + (2x) = 10 (remember y = 2x)
2z + 2x = 10
2z + 2(z + 1) = 10 (x = z + 1 again)
2z + 2z + 2 = 10
4z + 2 = 10
4z = 10 - 2
4z = 8
z = 8/4
z = 2

Now, we know z (the ones digit) is 2, we can use the first equation to obtain the value of x:

x = z + 1
x = 2 + 1
x = 3

And we'll use the second equation to obtain the value of y (the tens digit):

y = 2x
y = 2(3)
y = 6

Organizing the digits, we obtain the number:

Number = xyz
Number = 362

As you can see, the obtained number is 362.

What are the domain and range of f(x) = |x – 3 | + 6? Domain: {x | x is all real numbers} Range: {y | y ≥ 6} Domain: {x | x ≥ 3}

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Domain: {x | x is all real numbers} Range: {y | y ≥ 6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain is the set of all x values. No operations restrict the domain in this case. The domain is all real numbers.

Range is the set of all y values. Absolute value has a v shape starting at 0. Adding 6 raises this vertex to 6. The range is therefore all numbers greater than or equal to 6.

Suppose you invest $950 at an annual interest rate of 6.5% compounded continuously. How much will you have in the account after

posledela

The correct answer is $1820.

The formula for continuously compounded interest is

A = Pe^(rt), where P is the amount of principal, r is the interest rate expressed as a decimal number, and t is the number of years. Using our information, we have:

A = 950*e^(0.065*10) = 1819.76 ≈ 1820
