Answer:

19 in and 26 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shorter piece be x

Then the longer piece is x + 7

x + x + 7 = 45
2x = 45 - 7
2x = 38
x = 19

Short piece = 19 in

Long piece = 26 in

That's the question ??

Oksanka [162]

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we answer, the area of a Circle given it radius is

$a = \pi r {}^{2}$

The area of a circle given it diameter is

$a = \pi( \frac{d}{2} ) {}^{2}$

So let answers question 1-4.

1. The area is

$1024\pi$

2. The area is

$576\pi$

3.

$1.225\pi$

4.

$309.76\pi$

For the 5th problem, circumference is

$\pi \times d$

where d is the diameter and

$2\pi r$

where r is the radius.

A circumference of 100 m means the radius is 50 because

$2\pi \times r = 100\pi$

$r = 50$

So this means the area is

$2500 {\pi}$

Factor the polynomial function over the complex numbers. f(x)=x^4-x^3-2x−4 Enter your answer in the box. f(x) = The answer is: (

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Factors: $(x+i\sqrt2)(x-i\sqrt2)(x+1)(x-2)=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a polynomial:

$f(x)=x^4-x^3-2x-4$

We have to factor the given polynomial into its complex factors.

The factorization can be done as follows:

$f(x)=x^4-x^3-2x-4 = 0\\x^4-x^3-2x-4 = 0\\x^4-4-x^3-2x=0\\\text{Identity: }a^2-b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)\\(x^4-4)-(x^3+2x) = 0\\(x^2+2)(x^2-2)-x(x^2+2) = 0\\(x^2+2)(x^2-2-x) = 0\\(x^2+2)(x^2-x-2) = 0\\(x^2+2)(x^2-2x-+x-2) = 0\\(x^2+2)((x(x-2)+1(x-2))=0\\(x^2+2)(x+1)(x-2)=0\\\text{Identity: }a^2-b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)\\(x^2-(\sqrt{-2})^2)(x+1)(x-2)=0\\(x+i\sqrt2)(x-i\sqrt2)(x+1)(x-2)=0$

Four members from a "55"person committee are to be selected randomly to serve as chairperson, vice-chairperson, secretary, an

liq [111]

Answer:

8,185,320 different leadership structures

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the order at which the members of the committee are chosen matters, this is a permutation of 4 out 55 people and it is given by:

$n=\frac{55!}{(55-4)!}=55*54*53*52 \\\\n=8,185,320$

8,185,320 different leadership structures are possible.
