(a) Use the fundamental theorem of algebra to determine the number of roots for 2x^2 + 4x + 7
zysi [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A 2nd order polynomial such as this one will have 2 roots; a 3rd order polynomial 3 roots, and so on.

The quadratic formula is one of the faster ways (in this situation, at least) in which to find the roots.  From 2x^2 + 4x + 7 we get a = 2, b = 4 and c = 7.

Then the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, or, here, 4^2 - 4(2)(7), or -40.  Because the discriminant is negative, we know that the roots will be complex and unequal.

Using the quadratic formula:

       -4 ±√[-40]         -4 ± 2i√10

x  = ------------------ = ------------------

                4                       4

                                       -2 ± i√10

Thus, the roots are x = ------------------

                                               2

The lengths of the legs of a right triangle are consecutive even integers. The hypotenuse is 58 inches. What is the sum of the l
miskamm [114]

Answer:

82 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between consecutive even integers is 2, thus

let the legs be n and n + 2

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

n² + (n + 2)² = 58² ← expand and simplify left side

n² + n² + 4n + 4 = 3364 ( subtract 3364 from both sides )

2n² + 4n - 3360 = 0 ( divide all terms by 2 )

n² + 2n - 1680 = 0 ← in standard form

(n + 42)(n - 40) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for n

n + 42 = 0 ⇒ n = - 42

n - 40 = 0 ⇒ n = 40

But n > 0 ⇒ n = 40

and n + 2 = 40 + 2 = 42

Thus sum of legs = 40 + 42 = 82 inches

In which step did Rob make a mistake?
Karolina [17]
Answer:

Explanation:

Using the PEMDAS rule:
P = parentheses
E = exponent
M = multiplication
D = division
A = Addition
S = subtraction

Step 1: 6 + 4 x 3 - 10/5

Step 2: 6 + 12 - 2

Step 3: 18 - 2

Step 4: 16
