<u>Answer-</u>

\boxed{\boxed{\frac{7}{3}}}

<u>Solution-</u>

Rational Root Theorem-

f(x)=a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+a_{n-2}x^{n-2}+.......+a_1x+a_0\ \ \ and\ a_n\neq 0

All the potential rational roots are,

=\pm (\dfrac{\text{factors of}\ a_0}{\text{factors of}\ a_n})

The given polynomial is,

f(x) = 9x^8 + 9x^6-12x + 7

Here,

a_n=9,\ a_0=7\\\\\text{factors of}\ 9=1,3,9\\\\\text{factors of}\ 7=1,7

The potential rational roots are,

=\pm \frac{1}{1},\pm \frac{1}{3}, \pm \frac{1}{9}, \pm \frac{7}{1}, \pm \frac{7}{3}, \pm \frac{7}{9}

=\pm 1,\pm \frac{1}{3}, \pm \frac{1}{9}, \pm 7, \pm \frac{7}{3}, \pm \frac{7}{9}

From, the given options only \frac{7}{3} satisfies.

It is D. 7/3 because the rational root theorem states that when a root 'x' is written as a fraction x = p/q in lowest terms, <span><span>p is an integer factor of the constant term (i.e. 7), and </span><span>q is an integer factor of the coefficient of the first monomial (i.e. 9x^8).</span></span>

The figure shown in the picture is a rectangular shape that is missing a triangular piece. To determine the area of the figure you have to determine the area of the rectangle and the area of the triangular piece, then you have to subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the rectangle.

The rectangular shape has a width of 12 inches and a length of 20 inches. The area of the rectangle is equal to the multiplication of the width (w) and the length (l), following the formula:

A=w\cdot l

For our rectangle w=12 in and l=20 in, the area is:

\begin{gathered} A_{\text{rectangle}}=12\cdot20 \\ A_{\text{rectangle}}=240in^2 \end{gathered}

The triangular piece has a height of 6in and its base has a length unknown. Before calculating the area of the triangle, you have to determine the length of the base, which I marked with an "x" in the sketch above.

The length of the rectangle is 20 inches, the triangular piece divides this length into three segments, two of which measure 8 inches and the third one is of unknown length.

You can determine the value of x as follows:

\begin{gathered} 20=8+8+x \\ 20=16+x \\ 20-16=x \\ 4=x \end{gathered}

x=4 in → this means that the base of the triangle is 4in long.

The area of the triangle is equal to half the product of the base by the height, following the formula:

A=\frac{b\cdot h}{2}

For our triangle, the base is b=4in and the height is h=6in, then the area is:

\begin{gathered} A_{\text{triangle}}=\frac{4\cdot6}{2} \\ A_{\text{triangle}}=\frac{24}{2} \\ A_{\text{triangle}}=12in^2 \end{gathered}

Finally, to determine the area of the shape you have to subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the rectangle:

\begin{gathered} A_{\text{total}}=A_{\text{rectangle}}-A_{\text{triangle}} \\ A_{\text{total}}=240-12 \\ A_{\text{total}}=228in^2 \end{gathered}

The area of the figure is 228in²

What is the simplified form of 5 square root x^4 • 5 square root x^4
laiz [17]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write each term into a fraction.

\sqrt[5]{x^4} becomes x^4^/^5

When you multiply 2 terms with the same base, you add the exponents.

x^4^/^5*x^4^/^5=x^4^/^5^+^4^/^5=x^8^/^5

x^8^/^5 is also the same as x\sqrt[5]{x^3}

You get this because \sqrt[5]{x^8} =\sqrt[5]{x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x}. When you pull out 5 os x, you are left with x³ on the inside.

1. Find the slope of the line.<br><br> 2. Find the rate of change.
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

the slope of the line is 2 over 1 which means the answer is 2

the rate of change is c

To find the slope of the line you have to go rise over run.

to find the rate of change you have to see how much does the numbers in y go by.
