Based on signal strength, a person knows their lost phone is exactly 47 feet from the nearest cell tower. The person is currentl

y standing 23 feet from the same cell tower. What is the closest the phone could be to the person? What is the furthest their phone could be from them? (Be specific in your answer as there are TWO answers to this problem) *

Answer:

The phone could be either 24 feet away from them or 70 feet away from them because the person that lost the phone could be on the other side of the cell phone tower

The closest is 47-23=24.   The phone P is somewhere on the circle of radius 47 centered at the tower T.  If the human H is on the radius PT, that's the closest case, just walk the rest of the way along PT to P.

Answer: closest 24 feet

The farthest is 47+23 = 70.   That's when H is on the diameter that includes PT but not on the segment PT itself.

Answer: farthest 70 feet

what is the polynomial function of lowest degree with leading coefficient of 1 and roots 2 and 1 + square root2
Marta_Voda [28]
If the roots to such a polynomial are 2 and 1+\sqrt2, then we can write it as

(x-2)(x-(1+\sqrt2))

courtesy of the fundamental theorem of algebra. Now expanding yields

(x-2)(x-1-\sqrt2)=x^2-2x-(1+\sqrt2)x+2(1+\sqrt2)=x^2-(3+\sqrt2)x+2+2\sqrt2

which would be the correct answer, but clearly this option is not listed. Which is silly, because none of the offered solutions are *the* polynomial of lowest degree and leading coefficient 1.

So this makes me think you're expected to increase the multiplicity of one of the given roots, or you're expected to pull another root out of thin air. Judging by the choices, I think it's the latter, and that you're somehow supposed to know to use 1-\sqrt2 as a root. In this case, that would make our polynomial

(x-2)(x-(1+\sqrt2))(x-(1-\sqrt2))=x^3-4x^2+3x+2

so that the answer is (probably) the third choice.

Whoever originally wrote this question should reevaluate their word choice...
