The general form of a polynomial is: x² + bx + c = 0. Substituting the roots,

3² + b(3) + c = 0
3b + c = -9 --> eqn 1

(5 + √5)² + (5 +√5)(b) + c = 0
(5+√5)b + c = -30-10√5 --> eqn 2

Solving both equations simultaneously by subtracting eqn 2 from eqn 1,
(-2 - √5)b = 21 + 10√5
b = -8 - √5

Using eqn 1,
3(-8 - √5) + c = -9
-24 - 3√5 + c = -9
c = -9 + 24 + 3√5
c = 15 + 3√5

Hence, the polynomial is: <em>f(x) = x² + (-8 - √5)x + (15 + 3√5)</em>.

The back of Dante's property is a creek. Dante would like to enclose a rectangular area, using the creek as one side and fencing
Allushta [10]

The correct value is 720 ft of fencing.

Answer:

Max Area = 64800 sq.ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A square will always give us the maximum area.

Thus, one side would be;

720/4 = 180 feet

So, we want a square 180 ft by 180 ft

however, from the question, we are to use the creek as one side. So, we'll take the 180 ft that we don't need because of the creek and then add it to the opposite side to get 180 + 180 = 360 ft.

Thus,we now have a rectangle with dimensions: 180 ft by 360 ft

Area is given by;

area = length × width

Maximum Area = 180 × 360

Max Area = 64800 sq.ft

1. Determining the probability of a coin landing heads up by actually tossing a coin several times is an example of what?
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Theoretical probability and Experimental probability are related in that theoretical probability is based on your reasoning (e.g. two sides; therefore, there is a 50% chance of heads), but experimental probability is where your numbers are based off of actual results (e.g. you landed head 1/4th of the time; therefore, there is a 25% chance of getting heads.)
