\bf \textit{area of a triangle}\\\\
A=\cfrac{1}{2}bh\qquad 
\begin{cases}
b=base\\
h=height\\
----------\\
h=4b\leftarrow 
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{height is 4}\\
\textit{times the base}
\end{array}\\
A=288
\end{cases}\implies 288=\cfrac{1}{2}\cdot b\cdot 2b

solve for "b", to see what the base is

what about the height?  well, h = 4b

In Problems 23–30, use the given zero to find the remaining zeros of each function
Talja [164]

Answer:

x =  2i, x = -2i and x = 4 are the roots of given polynomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following expression in the question:

f(x) = x^3 - 4x^2+ 4x - 16

One of the zeroes of the above polynomial is 2i, that is :

f(x) = x^3 - 4x^2+ 4x - 16\\f(2i) = (2i)^3 - 4(2i)^2+ 4(2i) - 16\\= -8i+ 16+8i-16 = 0

Thus, we can write

(x-2i)\text{ is a factor of polynomial }x^3 - 4x^2 + 4x - 16

Now, we check if -2i is a root of the given polynomial:

f(x) = x^3 - 4x^2+ 4x - 16\\f(-2i) = (-2i)^3 - 4(-2i)^2+ 4(-2i) - 16\\= 8i+ 16-8i-16 = 0

Thus, we can write

(x+2i)\text{ is a factor of polynomial }x^3 - 4x^2 + 4x - 16

Therefore,

(x-2i)(x+2i)\text{ is a factor of polynomial }x^3 - 4x^2 + 4x - 16\\(x^2 + 4)\text{ is a factor of polynomial }x^3 - 4x^2 + 4x - 16

Dividing the given polynomial:

\displaystyle\frac{x^3 - 4x^2 + 4x - 16}{x^2+4} = x -4

Thus,

(x-4)\text{ is a factor of polynomial }x^3 - 4x^2 + 4x - 16

X = 4 is a root of the given polynomial.

f(x) = x^3 - 4x^2+ 4x - 16\\f(4) = (4)^3 - 4(4)^2+ 4(4) - 16\\= 64-64+16-16 = 0

Thus, 2i, -2i and 4 are the roots of given polynomial.

Susan deposits $1,200 in an account that earns 8% simple interest annually.
spayn [35]

interest = principal x rate x time

interest = 1344-1200 = 144

principal = 1200

rate = 8% = .08

144 = 1200 x .08 x Time

Time = 1.5 yrs
