Easy way is to look at the term with the highest exponent. The exponent determines the number of roots. Some might be double roots. THough not all of then will be real. The imaganry ones come in pairs
Examples:
x^4 - 4 roots
x^7 - 7 roots
x^3 - 3 roots

Line FG goes through the points (4,9) and (1,3). Which equation represents a line that is perpendicular to FG and passes through

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

$x + 2y= 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Points:

$F = (4,9)$

$G = (1,3)$

Required

Determine the equation of line that is perpendicular to the given points and that pass through $(2,0)$

First, we need to determine the slope, m of FG

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Where

$F = (4,9)$ --- $(x_1,y_1)$

$G = (1,3)$ --- $(x_2,y_2)$

$m = \frac{3 - 9}{1 - 4}$

$m = \frac{- 6}{- 3}$

$m =2$

The question says the line is perpendicular to FG.

Next, we determine the slope (m2) of the perpendicular line using:

$m_2 = -\frac{1}{m}$

$m_2 = -\frac{1}{2}$

The equation of the line is then calculated as:

$y - y_1 = m_2(x - x_1)$

Where

$m_2 = -\frac{1}{2}$

$(x_1,y_1) = (2,0)$

$y - 0 = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 2)$

$y = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 2)$

$y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 1$

Multiply through by 2

$2y = -x + 2$

Add x to both sides

$x + 2y= -x +x+ 2$

$x + 2y= 2$

Hence, the line of the equation is $x + 2y= 2$

The sum of three consecutive numbers is 72. What is the largest of these numbers?

kicyunya [14]

3 consecutive numbers....x, x + 1 and x + 2

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 72
3x + 3 = 72
3x = 72 - 3
3x = 69
x = 69/3
x = 23

x + 1 = 23 + 1 = 24
x + 2 = 23 + 2 = 25

so ur numbers are 23,24,25 with 25 being the largest
