Answer:

Option C. x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that

Traingles MOP and MNQ are similar

therefore

The ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

$\frac{MO}{MN}=\frac{MP}{MQ}$

substitute the values

$\frac{21+7}{21}=\frac{36+x}{36}$

$28*36=21*(36+x)\\ \\1,008=756+21x\\ \\21x=252\\ \\x=12\ units$

Find an expression for a cubic function f if f(4) = 96 and f(-4) = f(0) = f(5) = 0. Part 1 of 4 A cubic function generally has t

Bezzdna [24]

Given a polynomial $p(x)$ and a point $x_0$ , we have that

$p(x_0) = 0 \iff (x-x_0) \text{\ divides\ } p(x)$

We know that our cubic function is zero at -4, 0 and 5, which means that our polynomial is a multiple of

$(x+4)(x)(x-5) = x(x+4)(x-5)$

Since this is already a cubic polynomial (it's the product of 3 polynomials with degree one), we can only adjust a multiplicative factor: our function must be

$f(x) = ax(x+4)(x-5),\quad a \in \mathbb{R}$

To fix the correct value for a, we impose $f(4)=96$ :

$f(4) = 4a(4+4)(4-5) = -32a = 96$

And so we must impose

$-32a=96 \iff a = -\dfrac{96}{32} = -3$

So, the function we're looking for is

$f(x) = -3x(x+4)(x-5)=-3x^3+3x^2+60x$

The archway to the entrance of an art gallery can be model by y= -1/3(x-5)(x+5) where x and y are measured in feet. The x-axis r

NikAS [45]

Answer:

x=5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

At floor level y=0

If the expression is:

$0=1/3(x-5)(x+5)\\0=1/3(x^2-25)\\0=1/3x^2-25/3\\25/3=1/3x^2\\25=x^2\\x=5$

But, with the negative sign, the answer is x= 5i (where i is imaginary)

Determine if the sequence is arithmetic. If it is, find the term named in the problem.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

$a_{39}$ = 279

Step-by-step explanation:

$a_{n}$ = $a_{1}$ + (n - 1)d

d = $a_{2}$ - $a_{1}$

~~~~~~~~~

d = - 17 + 25 = - 9 + 17 = - 1 + 9 = 8

$a_{39}$ = - 25 + 8(39 - 1) = 279

$a_{39}$ = 279
