Answer:

If you have SSA, then the third side determines the triangle. If it is too short to intersect the other side, then it does not form a triangle. The third side can also be just the right length to meet the other side, making one triangle. Finally, the third side might be long enough to intersect the other side at two different points, creating two triangles.

Find all roots: x^3 + 7x^2 + 12x = 0 <br> Show all work and check your answer.

Aliun [14]

The three roots of x^3 + 7x^2 + 12x = 0 is 0,-3 and -4

<u>Solution:</u>

We have been given a cubic polynomial.

$x^{3}+7 x^{2}+12 x=0$

We need to find the three roots of the given polynomial.

Since it is a cubic polynomial, we can start by taking ‘x’ common from the equation.

This gives us:

$x^{3}+7 x^{2}+12 x=0$

$x\left(x^{2}+7 x+12\right)=0$ ----- eqn 1

So, from the above eq1 we can find the first root of the polynomial, which will be:

x = 0

Now, we need to find the remaining two roots which are taken from the remaining part of the equation which is:

$x^{2}+7 x+12=0$

we have to use the quadratic equation to solve this polynomial. The quadratic formula is:

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Now, a = 1, b = 7 and c = 12

By substituting the values of a,b and c in the quadratic equation we get;

$\begin{array}{l}{x=\frac{-7 \pm \sqrt{7^{2}-4 \times 1 \times 12}}{2 \times 1}} \\\\{x=\frac{-7 \pm \sqrt{1}}{2}}\end{array}$

<em><u>Therefore, the two roots are:</u></em>

$\begin{array}{l}{x=\frac{-7+\sqrt{1}}{2}=\frac{-7+1}{2}=\frac{-6}{2}} \\\\ {x=-3}\end{array}$

And,

$\begin{array}{c}{x=\frac{-7-\sqrt{1}}{2}} \\\\ {x=-4}\end{array}$

Hence, the three roots of the given cubic polynomial is 0, -3 and -4

A group of 5 men are meeting for lunch.

Sladkaya [172]

Tile:

<h2>See the explanation.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

There were total 5 men wearing coats.

5 coats can be returned to 5 men in 5! = 120 ways.

The coats can be returned to the accurate persons only in 1 way.

Hence, the probability that each man gets the correct coat is $\frac{1}{120}$ .

(b)

At the time of returning the first coat, the hostess will have 5 choices and for the second she will have 4 choices.

Hence, in $5\times4 = 20$ ways the hostess can return the 2 coats.

There is only 1 possible case that each of the coats will return to the correct owner.

Hence, the required probability is $\frac{1}{20}$ .

Find the exact value of tan( cos^-1 ( -5/13))

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

-¹²/₅

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cos a = -⁵/₁₃

Then tan a = sin a/cos a

= [√(1 - cos²a)]/cos a

= {√[1 - (-⁵/₁₃)²]}/(-⁵/₁₃)

= -[√(1 - ²⁵/₁₆₉)] × ¹³/₅

= -[(√(¹⁴⁴/₁₆₉ )] × ¹³/₅

= -¹²/₁₃ × ¹³/₅

= -¹²/₅

tan(arccos (-⁵/₁₃)) = -¹²/₅

The diagram shows the 2nd quadrant of a circle with radius 13, cos a = -⁵/₁₃, and tan a = ¹²/₍₋₅₎ = -¹²/₅.

The sum of two numbers is 48 and the difference is 20. what are the number?

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

x = 34; y = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Make the equations

x + y = 48

x - y = 20

Step 2: Solve the equations

x + y = 48

x - y = 20

2x = 68

x = 34

34 + y = 48

y = 14
