A map is made of a park. The scale from the park to the map is 36 mi to 6 cm. The length of Great Oaks Trail is 4.5 cm on this m

ap. The scale from the same park to a different map is 24 mi to 3 cm. The length of Salamander Trail is 3.5 cm on that map. Which is the longer trail, Great Oaks Trail or Salamander Trail?

Answer:

Salamander Trail is longer than Great Oak Trail

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The scale of the map is 36 mi = 6 cm

The length of Great Oak Trail = 4.5 cm

The scale of a different map is 24 mi = 3 cm

The length of Salamander Trail = 3.5 cm

Therefore, we have;

The actual length of Great Oak Trail based on the first map is given as follows;

36 mi = 6 cm

6 cm = 36 mi

1 cm = 36 mi/6 = 6 mi

4.5 cm = 4.5 × 6 mi = 27 mi

The actual length of Salamander Trail based on the second  map is given as follows;

24 mi = 3 cm

3 cm = 24 mi

1 cm = 24 mi/3 = 8 mi

3.5 cm = 3.5 × 8 mi = 28 mi

Therefore, Salamander Trail with an actual length of 28 mi is longer than Great Oak Trail which has an actual length of 27 mi.

Which two points lie on a line with an undefined slope?
Ierofanga [76]
Slope formula is
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

A. m = (5 - 0)/(-2 + 2)
m = (5)/(0)
m = error

B. m = (-2 - 0)/(0 + 2)
m = (-2)/(2)
m = -1

C. m = (2 - 0)/(2 - 0)
m = (2)/(2)
m = 1

D. m = (0 - 0)/(2 - 3)
m = (0)/(-1)
m = 0

the undefined slope would be the one that came out as error, so A

What is the polynomial function of lowest degree with lead coefficient 1 and roots 1 and 1 + i? f(x) = x2 – 2x + 2 f(x) = x3 – x
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

f(x)=x^{3}-3x^{2} +4x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The <u><em>conjugate root theorem</em></u> states that if the complex number a + bi is a root of a polynomial P(x) in one variable with real coefficients, then the complex conjugate a - bi is also a root of that polynomial

In this problem we have that

The polynomial has roots 1 and (1+i)

so

by the conjugate root theorem

(1-i) is also a root of the polynomial

therefore

The lowest degree of the polynomial is 3

so

f(x)=a(x-1)(x-(1+i))(x-(1-i))

Remember that

The leading coefficient is 1

so

a=1

f(x)=(x-1)(x-(1+i))(x-(1-i))\\\\f(x)=(x-1)[x^{2} -(1-i)x-(1+i)x+(1-i^2)]\\\\f(x)=(x-1)[x^{2} -x+xi-x-xi+2]\\\\f(x)=(x-1)[x^{2} -2x+2]\\\\f(x)=x^{3}-2x^{2} +2x-x^{2} +2x-2\\\\f(x)=x^{3}-3x^{2} +4x-2

Solve the equation.
elena55 [62]

Answer:

C: x=-3 or x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation x^2-x-12=0 we need to factor it

We are looking for two numbers that when multiplied give -12 and when added give -x

This means that when factored, the equation would be (x-4)(x+3)=0

Now we can set each of these equal to 0, which means that at

x=-3 and x=4 , the equation will equal 0

Mauricio divided two identical rectangles into equal parts. He colored one part of each rectangle. What is true about the areas
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Areas of the colored parts are equal

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Mauricio divided two identical rectangles into equal parts.

Now given Mauricio colored one part of each rectangle. we have to tell about the true statement of colored parts.

Two identical rectangles means the rectangle having equal areas. He divides these two into equal parts and shaded one of each part

Let area of rectangle is x unit^{2}

∴ Colored part area = \frac{1}{2}xunit^{2}  →  (1)

Similarly, other rectangle area identical to above rectangle is  x unit^{2}

∴ Colored part area = \frac{1}{2}xunit^{2}  →   (2)

From above eq (1) and (2), we get

Areas of the colored parts are equal which is equals to \frac{1}{2}xunit^{2}
