Answer: Elaine=13 years old Tyler=21 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Elaine's age, so her brother Tyler's age = x+8

 Elaine+Tyler=34

          x+(x+8)=34

             2x+8=34

                 2x=26

                   x=13

Elaine=13 years old

Tyler=21 years old

Which function BEST expresses the linear relationship displayed by the scatter plot?
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We want a line of best fit, which means we want to create a line that the data points will lie closest to.

One thing we can do is find the slope between the bottom-leftmost point and the top-rightmost point. This is because if we were to draw a line connecting these two, it will cut through the data quite well.

Those two points are (9, 15) and (16, 18), so the slope is change in y divided by the change in x:

(18 - 15) ÷ (16 - 9) = 3 ÷ 7 ≈ 0.4

Eliminate A and B.

Now we need to determine the y-intercept. This needs no calculations; simply look at the graph: there's no way a line cutting through the y-intercept point of (0, 18) will perfectly match the data points; instead it must be a y-intercept lower than 18. So, eliminate D.

The answer is C.

Find the polynomial of lowest degree with only real coefficients and having the given zeros. -7i and square root of 2
mario62 [17]

Answer:

x³ - (√2)x² + 49x - 49√2

Step-by-step explanation:

If one root is -7i, another root must be 7i.  You can't just have one root with i.  The other roos is √2, so there are 3 roots.  

x = -7i       is one root,

   (x + 7i) = 0    is the factor

x = 7i       is one root

  (x - 7i) = 0     is the factor

x = √2      is one root

    (x - √2) = 0   is the factor

So the factors are...

(x + 7i)(x - 7i)(x - √2) = 0

Multiply these out to find the polynomial...

(x + 7i)(x - 7i) =  x² + 7i - 7i - 49i²

Which simplifies to

  x² - 49i²        since i² = -1 , we have

    x² - 49(-1)  

 

      x² + 49

Now we have...

(x² + 49)(x - √2) = 0

Now foil this out...

 x²(x) - x²(-√2) + 49(x) + 49(-√2) = 0

     x³ + (√2)x² + 49x - 49√2
