Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The segment 20.2 cm is the tangent. Therefore x and 20.2cm are perpendicular.

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

$leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2$

We have

$leg=x,\ leg=20.2cm,\ hypotenuse=(14.7+x)cm$

Substitute:

$x^2+20.2^2=(14.7+x)^2$ <em>use (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²</em>

$x^2+408.04=14.7^2+(2)(14.7)(x)+x^2$ <em>subtract x² from both sides</em>

$408.04=216.09+29.4x$ <em>subtract 216.09 from both sides</em>

$191.95=29.4x$ <em>divide both sides by 29.4</em>

$x\approx6.5\ cm$

answer 16.99%

We are given this function:

8700 is the initial amount.

1.04 shows the change of original amount. This is decimal form of percentage. We need to transform it into regular percentage.

1.04 * 100% = 104%

Now we observe this number. If it is greater than 100% we have growth, if it is lower than 100% it is decay, and if it is equal to 100% than there is no change.

In our case this number is greater than 100% so we have growth. To determine the percentage rate we must substract 100% as it represents the original amount.

104% - 100% = 4%

This would be our solution if we don't have an exponent.

We have exponent so first step is to calculate the number and then we repeat the steps from above.

1,16985856 * 100% ≈ 116,99%

116.99% - 100% = 16.99%

So, final solution is growth of 16.99%

Find the polynomial of minimum degree, with real coefficients, zeros at

drek231 [11]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{p(x)=4x^3-20x^2+4x+300}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{If}\ x=4\pm3i\ \text{and}\ x=-3\ \text{are the zeros of a polynomial, then it has a form:}\\\\p(x)=\bigg(x-(4-3i)\bigg)\bigg(x-(4+3i)\bigg)\bigg(x-(-3)\bigg)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=(x-4+3i)(x-4-3i)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=\underbrace{\bigg((x-4)+3i\bigg)\bigg((x-4)-3i\bigg)}_{\text{use}\ (a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2}(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=\bigg((x-4)^2-(3i)^2\bigg)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\qquad\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2$

$p(x)=(x^2-2(x)(4)+4^2-3^2i^2)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\qquad\text{use}\ i^2=-1\\\\p(x)=(x^2-8x+16-9(-1))(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=(x^2-8x+16+9)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=(x^2-8x+25)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\qquad\text{use FOIL}:\ (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\\\\p(x)=\bigg((x^2)(x)+(x^2)(3)+(-8x)(x)+(-8x)(3)+(25)(x)+(25)(3)\bigg)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=(x^3+3x^2-8x^2-24x+25x+75)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\p(x)=(x^3-5x^2+x+75)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)$

$\text{The y-intercept is at 300}.\\\\\text{For}\ w(x)=a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+a_{n-2}x^{n-2}+...+a_1x+a_0\\\\\text{y-intercept is}\ a_0\\\\\text{Therefore for}\ p(x)=(x^3-5x^2+x+75)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\\text{y-intercet is}\ 75\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\75\bigg(r(x)\bigg)=300\qquad\text{divide both sides by 75}\\\\r(x)=4\\\\\text{Finally:}\\\\p(x)=(x^3-5x^2+x+75)(4)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\p(x)=(x^3)(4)+(-5x^2)(4)+(x)(4)+(75)(4)\\\\p(x)=4x^3-20x^2+4x+300$

I need to know How do I find ab?

Ludmilka [50]

The angle is called an hypotenuse and to find it just use the Pythagorean Theorem which states a squared+b squared= c squared, does this answer your question or do you need more help?

Evaluate 1/3m-1-1/2n when m=21 and n=12

siniylev [52]

The answer is 0, 1/3 of 21 is 7, 7-1=6, 1/2 of 12= 6, and 6-6=0. Hope this helps!

Can you please explain how you did it. Thanks!

vivado [14]

Well first you would start by setting up with a proportion.
In total, the girls paid $54+$22= $76
Thus 1 sister contributed $54/$76=x/100
The other sister contributed $22/$76=x/76
For each proportion, cross-multiply and simplify to get the percentage. The percentage will be the x
