Answer:
f(x) = 3x² - 15x + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given f(x) has roots x = a and x = b, then
(x - a) and (x - b) are the factors
f(x) is then the product of the factors
f(x) = a(x - a)(x - b) ← where a is a multiplier
Given roots are x = 4 and x = 1, then
(x - 4) and (x - 1) are the factors
With a = 3, then
f(x) = 3(x - 4)(x - 1) ← expand factors using FOIL
= 3(x² - 5x + 4) ← distribute
= 3x² - 15x + 12
Answer:
x > 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 8 to both sides:
6x - 8 > 4x + 26
6x > 4x + 34
Subtract 4x from both sides:
2x > 34
Divide each side by 2:
x > 17
So, the solution is x > 17

Answer: A. 18*sqrt(3)</h3>
=============================================
Explanation:
We'll need the tangent rule
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(R) = TH/HR
tan(30) = TH/54
sqrt(3)/3 = TH/54 ... use the unit circle
54*sqrt(3)/3 = TH .... multiply both sides by 54
(54/3)*sqrt(3) = TH
18*sqrt(3) = TH
TH = 18*sqrt(3) which points to <u>choice A</u> as the final answer
----------------------
An alternative method:
Triangle THR is a 30-60-90 triangle.
Let x be the measure of side TH. This side is opposite the smallest angle R = 30, so we consider this the short leg.
The hypotenuse is twice as long as x, so TR = 2x. This only applies to 30-60-90 triangles.
Now use the pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(TH)^2 + (HR)^2 = (TR)^2
(x)^2 + (54)^2 = (2x)^2
x^2 + 2916 = 4x^2
2916 = 4x^2 - x^2
3x^2 = 2916
x^2 = 2916/3
x^2 = 972
x = sqrt(972)
x = sqrt(324*3)
x = sqrt(324)*sqrt(3)
x = 18*sqrt(3) which is the length of TH.
A slightly similar idea is to use the fact that if y is the long leg and x is the short leg, then y = x*sqrt(3). Plug in y = 54 and isolate x and you should get x = 18*sqrt(3). Again, this trick only works for 30-60-90 triangles.
x = -1
y = 1
To find this, input the equation into a graphing calculator, whether online or an actual one, and you have two options:
1 - Search for the points in which the line crosses the x and or y axis.
2 - Hit 2nd Graph to access the table and find when x and y equal zero.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Area = 16.8 * 7 / 2 = 58.8 ft2
Step-by-step explanation:
Have
18.2^2 = 7^2 + a^2
-> a^2 = 18.2^2 - 7^2
-> a^2 = 282.24
-> a = 16.8
Area = 16.8 * 7 / 2 = 58.8 ft2
