Answer:

a. 84 cm² b. The area of the polyhedron is found by finding the sum of the areas of each individual shape.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The area of the polyhedron is gotten by finding the area of each individual shape.

The area of the left rectangle with sides 6 by 4 is 6 cm × 4 cm = 24 cm²

The area of the middle rectangle with sides 6 by 5 is 6 cm × 5 cm = 30 cm²

The area of the right rectangle with sides 6 by 3 is 6 cm × 3 cm = 18 cm²

The area of the triangle on the left rectangle is found using heron's formula where area A = √[s(s -a)(s -b)(s -c) where s = (a + b + c)/2 and a, b and c are the sides of the rectangle.

Since the rectangle has sides 4, 3 and 5, a = 4, b = 3 and c = 5

So, s = (a + b + c)/2 = s = (4 + 3 + 5)/2 = 12/2 = 6

A = √[s(s -a)(s -b)(s -c)

= √[6(6 - 4)(6 - 3)(6 - 5)

= √[6(2)(3)(1)

= √36

= 6 cm²

The area of the triangle on the right rectangle is found using heron's formula where area A = √[s(s -a)(s -b)(s -c) where s = (a + b + c)/2 and a, b and c are the sides of the rectangle.

Since the rectangle has sides 3, 4 and 5, a = 3, b = 4 and c = 5

So, s = (a + b + c)/2 = s = (3 + 4 + 5)/2 = 12/2 = 6

A = √[s(s -a)(s -b)(s -c)]

= √[6(6 - 3)(6 - 4)(6 - 5)]

= √[6(3)(2)(1)

= √36

= 6 cm²

The surface area of the polyhedron is the sum of all the areas. So, A = 24 cm² + 30 cm² + 18 cm² + 6 cm² + 6 cm² = 84 cm²

b. Explain your reasoning

The area of the polyhedron is found by finding the sum of the areas of each individual shape.

A=1/4 and b=6.<br><br> −8ab=
podryga [215]

Answer:

When a=\frac{1}{4} and b=6:

-8ab=-12

Step-by-step explanation:

-8ab can be seen as -8×a×b. Insert the given values:

-8*\frac{1}{4} *6

Simplify multiplication from left to right:

-8*\frac{1}{4} \\\\\frac{-8}{1} *\frac{1}{4} =\frac{-8}{4} =-2

Insert and solve:

-2*6=-12

Find all real zeros of 4x^3-20x+16
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

  {1, (-1±√17)/2}

Step-by-step explanation:

There are formulas for the real and/or complex roots of a cubic, but they are so complicated that they are rarely used. Instead, various other strategies are employed. My favorite is the simplest--let a graphing calculator show you the zeros.

___

Descartes observed that the sign changes in the coefficients can tell you the number of real roots. This expression has two sign changes (+-+), so has 0 or 2 positive real roots. If the odd-degree terms have their signs changed, there is only one sign change (-++), so one negative real root.

It can also be informative to add the coefficients in both cases--as is, and with the odd-degree term signs changed. Here, the sum is zero in the first case, so we know immediately that x=1 is a zero of the expression. That is sufficient to help us reduce the problem to finding the zeros of the remaining quadratic factor.

__

Using synthetic division (or polynomial long division) to factor out x-1 (after removing the common factor of 4), we find the remaining quadratic factor to be x²+x-4.

The zeros of this quadratic factor can be found using the quadratic formula:

  a=1, b=1, c=-4

  x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a) = (-1±√1+16)/2

  x = (-1 ±√17)2

The zeros are 1 and (-1±√17)/2.

_____

The graph shows the zeros of the expression. It also shows the quadratic after dividing out the factor (x-1). The vertex of that quadratic can be used to find the remaining solutions exactly: -0.5 ± √4.25.

__

The given expression factors as ...

  4(x -1)(x² +x -4)
