Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a triangle is
A = 1/2 b *h
The base is 6 units (from -2 to 4)
The height is 4 units ( from 1 to 5)
A = 1/2 6*4
= 1/2 (24)
= 12 units^2
A scale with a suitable range for weighing small items such as food in the home, would not be suitable for weighing large, heavy items, such as concrete blocks. A scale for concrete blocks wouldn't be sensitive enough for food.
Suppose

has two roots, reciprocals of one another. Call them

, with

.
Let's divide through

by

for now. By the fundamental theorem of algebra, we can factorize

as

Expand the RHS to get

so we must have


The first equation says

and

occur in a ratio of the negative sum of the roots of

, while the third equation says that the first and last coefficients

must be the same.
