Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an equationx^3-21x=-20

We have to find the root of given polynomial equation by using rational root theorem.

x^3-12 x+20=0

Factor of 1 is 1.

Factors of 20 are \pm 1,\pm 2,\pm 4,\pm 5,\pm 10,\pm 20

The  roots of given polynomial is in the form

\pm \frac{2}{1},\pm \frac{4}{1},\pm\frac{5}{1},\pm \frac{10}{1},\pm \frac{20}{1}

When we substitute x=1 then we get

1-21+20=0

Therefore, 1 is a root of given polynomial.

Hence, option C is correct.

X^3 - 21x = -20add 20 to both sidesx^3 - 21 x + 20 = 0Rational Root Theorem:Factors of P (constant) 20 = 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20-------------------------------      Factors of Q (leading Coefficient) = 1
Possible zeros (all + -) 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 5/1, 10/1, 20/1
Of the choices given only the number 1 is a possible root.

If on a scale drawing 75 feet are represented by 45 inches, then a scale of 1/5 inch represents how many feet?
kvasek [131]

Answer:

1/3 or 0.33 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be easily answered by using simple proportions.

If 75 feet are represented by 45 inches on a scale, then the scaling factor from feet to inches is 45/75, or from inches to feet is 75/45

If we have 1/5 inch and want feet, just multiply by 75/45 to get

1/5*75/45=1/3=0.33 feet
