Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Solutions, zeros, and roots of a polynomial are all the same exact thing and can be used interchangeably. When you factor a polynomial, you solve for x which are the solutions of the polynomial. Since, when you factor a polynomial, you do so by setting the polynomial equal to 0, by definition of x-intercept, you are finding the zeros (don't forget that x-intercepts exist where y is equal to 0). There's the correlation between zeros and solutions.
Since factoring and distributing "undo" each other (or are opposites), if you factor to find the zeros, you can distribute them back out to get back to the polynomial you started with. Each zero or solution is the x value when y = 0. For example, if a solution to a polynomial is x = 3, since that is a zero of the polynomial, we can set that statement equal to 0: x - 3 = 0. What we have then is a binomial factor of the polynomial in the form (x - 3). These binomial factors found from the solutions/zeros of the polynomial FOIL out to give you back the polynomial equation.

====================================================
Explanation:
Focus on triangles SVT and UVT.
They are congruent triangles due to the fact that SV = VU and VT = VT. From there we can use the LL (leg leg) theorem for right triangles to prove them congruent.
Since the triangles are the same, just mirrored, this means ST = UT = 23.
-----------------------
Following similar reasoning as the previous section, we can prove triangle RVU = triangle RVS.
Therefore, RS = RU = 8
-----------------------
SV = VU = 5 because RT bisects SU.
Bisect means to cut in half. The two smaller pieces are equal.
-----------------------
SU = SV + VU = 5+5 = 10
Refer to the segment addition postulate.
The equation is y = 1/2 x + 13, where x is the number of days, and y is the length of the barrier
Answer:
81 mm is more precise
Step-by-step explanation:
millimeters are smaller than cm
8 cm * 10 mm/1 cm = 80 mm
compared to 81 mm
81 mm is more precise
