Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is:

According to the Rational Root Theorem, which function has the same set of potential rational roots as the function g(x) = 3x5 – 2x4 + 9x3 – x2 + 12?

A).f(x) = 3x5 – 2x4 – 9x3 + x2 – 12

B).f(x) = 3x6 – 2x5 + 9x4 – x3 + 12x

C).f(x) = 12x5 – 2x4 + 9x3 – x2 + 3

D).f(x) = 12x5 – 8x4 + 36x3 – 4x2 + 48

<u>Solution:</u>

The function given to us is:

3x5 – 2x4 + 9x3 – x2 + 12

Find the factors of 12 and consider it as 'p'

The factors of 12 are:

p = +/- 1 , +/-2 , +/-3 , +/- 4 , +/-6

Now find the factors of 3 and consider it as 'q'

The factors of 3 are:

q = +/- 1 , +/- 3

We know that we write rational terms in p/q form.

Therefore the Rational roots are given by p/q

+/- 1 , +/-2 , +/-3 , +/- 4 , +/-6 , +/- 1/3 , +/- 2/3 , +/- 4/3

Now we will solve the first function given in part A.

f(x) = 3x^5 – 2x^4 - 9x^3 + x^2 - 12

Again find the factors of 12 and consider it as 'p'

The factors are:

p = +/- 1 , +/-2 , +/-3 , +/- 4 , +/-6

Now find the factors of 3 and consider it as 'q' .

q = +/- 1 , +/- 3

Rational root are given by p/q

+/- 1 , +/-2 , +/-3 , +/- 4 , +/-6 , +/- 1/3 , +/- 2/3 , +/- 4/3

Therefore the rational roots of the given function matches the rational roots of the given equation.

Hence the correct option is A.

1) To find x we are going to use the Pythagorean equation:
 x= \sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}  }
where 
a and b are the legs of our triangle. For our picture we can infer that a=10 and b=8, so lets replace those values in our equation to find x:
x= \sqrt{10^{2}+8^{2}}
x= \sqrt{100+64}
x= \sqrt{164}
x=12.8
We can conclude that the value of x in our triangle is 12.8

2) To find y we are going to use the trigonometric function tangent. Remember that tan(y)= \frac{opposite}{adjacent}. We know that the opposite side of our angle y is 8, and its adjacent side is 10, so lets replace those values in our tangent function to find y:
tan(y)= \frac{8}{10}
tan(y)=0.8
Since we need the measure of angle y, we are going to take inverse tangent to both sides to find it:
y=arctan(0.8)
y=38.66
We can conclude that the value of y in our triangle is 38.66°

3) Finally, to find z we are going to take advantage of two facts: the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180°, and  our triangle is a right one, so one of its sides is 90°. Therefore, y+z+90=180. Since we already know the value of y, lets replace it in our equation and solve for z:
38.66+z+90=180
z+128.66=180
z=51.34
We can conclude that the measure of angle z is 51.34°

-18 - 3 /4 v = 3<br> I need help with this who is smart enough to solve it
Blababa [14]

Answer:

v =-28

Step-by-step explanation:

-18 - 3 /4 v = 3

Add 18 to each side

-18+18 - 3 /4 v = 3+18

-3/4 v = 21

Multiply each side by -4/3 to isolate v

-4/3 *-3/4v = 21*-4/3

v =-28

Help Please I'm Out Of Time ;(
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Total area = 31.5 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume 1 block = 1 unit²

Divide diagram into 3 part

1. 5 by 5 block square

2. 2 by 2 block triangle(1)

2. 3 by 3 block triangle(2)

Area of square = side × side

Area of square = 5 × 5

Area of square = 25 unit²

Area of triangle(1) = [1/2][base][height]

Area of triangle(1) = [1/2][2][2]

Area of triangle(1) = 2 unit²

Area of triangle(2) = [1/2][base][height]

Area of triangle(2) = [1/2][3][3]

Area of triangle(2) = 4.5 unit²

Total area = Area of square + Area of triangle(1) +Area of triangle(2)

Total area = 25 unit² + 2 unit² + 4.5 unit²

Total area = 31.5 unit²
