Given that the two triangles are similar, solve for x if AU = 20x + 108, UB = 273, BC = 703, UV = 444, AV = 372 and AC = 589.

If two triangles are similar then the corresponding sides are in proportion. Thus,

AB / AU = BC / UV = AC / AV

AB / (20x+108) = 703 / 444

Where AB is equivalent to:

AB = AU + UB

AB = 20x + 108 + 273

AB = 20x + 381

Therefore going back to the first equation:

(20x + 381) / (20x + 108) = 703/444

444 (20x + 381) = 703 (20x + 108)

8880x + 169164 = 14060x + 75924

14060x - 8880x = 169164 – 75924

5180 x = 93240

x = 93240 / 5180

Find a degree 4 polynomial having zeros -8,-1,4 and 5 and the coefficient of x^4 equal 1.
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

  x^4 -53x^2 +108x +160

Step-by-step explanation:

If <em>a</em> is a zero, then (<em>x-a</em>) is a factor. For the given zeros, the factors are ...

  p(x) = (x +8)(x +1)(x -4)(x -5)

Multiplying these out gives the polynomial in standard form.

  = (x^2 +9x +8)(x^2 -9x +20)

We note that these factors have a sum and difference with the same pair of values, x^2 and 9x. We can use the special form for the product of these to simplify our working out.

  = (x^2 +9x)(x^2 -9x) +20(x^2 +9x) +8(x^2 -9x) +8(20)

  = x^4 -81x^2 +20x^2 +180x +8x^2 -72x +160

  p(x) = x^4 -53x^2 +108x +160

_____

The graph shows this polynomial has the required zeros.

Find the surface area of the cylinder
Alik [6]

Answer:

Surface Area = 282.6 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula: SA = 2\pirh + 2\pir²

SA = 2\pirh + 2\pir²

SA = 2(3.14)(5)(4) + 2(3.14)(5)

SA = 2(3.14)(5)(4) + 2(3.14)(25)

SA = 125.6 + 157

SA = 282.6 cm²

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

This means that the correct initial value problem for the population p(t) as a function of time is is P(0) = 1000

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of a town increases at a rate proportional to its population:

This means that this situation is modeled by the following differential equation:

\frac{dP}{dt} = kP

In which k is the growth rate.

By separation of variables, the solution is given by:

P(t) = P(0)e^{kt}

In which P(0) is the initial population.

Initial population of 1000.

This means that the correct initial value problem for the population p(t) as a function of time is is P(0) = 1000
