<h3>Answer:</h3>

3 11/15 cm

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

AE is the angle bisector of ∠A, so divides the sides of the triangle into a proportion:

... BE:CE = BA:CA = 7:8

Then ...

... BE:BC = 7 : (7+8) = 7:15

ΔDBE ~ ΔABC, so DE = 7/15 × AC

... DE = 7/15 × 8 cm = (56/15) cm

... DE = 3 11/15 cm

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

To spend at most $93, they need to rent the room less than or equal 13 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

To rent a certain meeting room, a college charges a reservation fee of $15 and an additional fee of $6 per hour. The chemistry club wants to spend at most $93 on renting a room. What are the possible numbers of hours the chemistry club could rent the meeting room? Use t for the number of hours. Write your answer as an inequality solved for t,

Let

t ----> the number of hours

we know that

I this problem the word "at most" means "less than or equal to"

The number of hours rented multiplied by the cost per hour, plus the reservation fee, must be less than or equal to $93

so

The inequality that represent this situation is

6t+15\leq 93

solve for t

subtract 15 both sides

6t\leq 93-15

6t\leq 78

Divide by 6 both sides

t\leq 13\ hours

therefore

To spend at most $93, they need to rent the room less than or equal 13 hours.

Describe how both the Rational Root Theorem and Descartes’ Rules of Signs help you to find the zeros of a polynomial? Give me an
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rational Root Theorem: If the polynomial

P(x) = a n x n + a n – 1 x n – 1 + ... + a 2 x 2 + a 1 x + a 0

has any rational roots, then they must be of the form of (factors of a0/factors of an).

Example: F(x) = 4x² + 5x +2

If this polynomial has any rational roots, then they must be (factors of 2)/(factors of 4), so (±1, ±2)/(±1, ±2, ±4). So if this polynomial has any rational roots, they must be either: ±1, ±1/2, ±1/4, or ±2. Notice that this polynomial doesn't have to have any rational roots, but if it does, then the roots must fit the Rational Root Theorem.

Descartes' Rules of Signs:

a). In a polynomial, how many time the sign changes is how many positive roots the polynomial will have.

Example: 5x³ + 6x² - 2x - 1

In this expression, the sign only changed once, between 6x² and 2x, so it will only have one positive root.

Example 2: 6x³ - 4x² + x - 6

In this expression, the sign changed 3 times (remember there is a invisible "+" sign before the 6x³), so it will have 3 positive roots.

b). In a polynomial, if you plug in "-x" for all "x", then how many times the new polynomial changes sign is how many negative roots the old polynomial have.

Example: 5x³ + 6x² - 2x - 1.

If we plug in "-x" for all "x", then we get 5(-x)³ + 6(-x)² - 2(-x) -1, which simplifies to -5x³ + 6x² + 2x -1. In this new expression, the sign changed twice, so we have two negative roots for the expression. Notice how we got one positive root the first time and two negative roots the second time, and 1 + 2 = 3. The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra states that for a nth degree polynomial, it will have n complex roots. The polynomial we worked with was a 3rd degree polynomial, and we got 1 + 2 = 3 roots in the end.
