7 0

Answer:

C. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

"Polynomial" means consisting of several terms, or more than one term.

In A, we see that there are 2 terms (3x and 5), and so it is a polynomial, specifically a binomial.

In B, we also see 2 terms (2/5x and -21), and so it is also a polynomial, specifically a binomial.

In C, we only see one term (5), and so it is a monomial, or having only one term.

In D, we can see 2 terms (x^-3 and 5x), and so it is also a polynomial, specifically a binomial.

What is the solution of the following question? x^2+10x+25=12

zalisa [80]

Make equal to 0
minus 12from both sides
x^2+10x+13=0
we can't factor so use quadratic formula

x= $\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}$
x= $\frac{-10+/- \sqrt{10^{2}-4(1)(13)} }{2(1)}$
x= $\frac{-10+/- \sqrt{100-52} }{2}$
x= $\frac{-10+/- \sqrt{48} }{2}$
x= $\frac{-10+/- 4\sqrt{3} }{2}$
x= $-5+/- 2\sqrt{3}$

x= $-5+ 2\sqrt{3}$ or $-5- 2\sqrt{3}$

aprox
x=-1.5359 or -8.4641

Find the equation of the sphere if one of its diameters has endpoints (4, 2, -9) and (6, 6, -3) which has been normalized so tha

Pavel [41]

Answer:

$(x - 5)^2 + (y - 4)^2 + (z - 6)^2 = 14$ .

(Expand to obtain an equivalent expression for the sphere: $x^2 - 10\,x + y^2 - 8\, y + z^2 - 12\, z + 63 = 0$ )

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between these two endpoints:

$\begin{aligned}&\text{Distance}\cr &= \sqrt{\left(x_2 - x_1\right)^2 + \left(y_2 - y_1\right)^2 + \left(z_2 - z_1\right)^2} \cr &= \sqrt{(6 - 4)^2 + (6 - 2)^2 + ((-3) - (-9))^2 \cr &= \sqrt{56}}\end{aligned}$ .

Since the two endpoints form a diameter of the sphere, the distance between them would be equal to the diameter of the sphere. The radius of a sphere is one-half of its diameter. In this case, that would be equal to:

$\begin{aligned} r &= \frac{1}{2} \, \sqrt{56} \cr &= \sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 \times 56} \cr &= \sqrt{\frac{1}{4} \times 56} \cr &= \sqrt{14} \end{aligned}$ .

In a sphere, the midpoint of every diameter would be the center of the sphere. Each component of the midpoint of a segment (such as the diameter in this question) is equal to the arithmetic mean of that component of the two endpoints. In other words, the midpoint of a segment between $\left(x_1, \, y_1, \, z_1\right)$ and $\left(x_2, \, y_2, \, z_2\right)$ would be:

$\displaystyle \left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}, \, \frac{z_1 + z_2}{2}\right)$ .

In this case, the midpoint of the diameter, which is the same as the center of the sphere, would be at:

$\begin{aligned}&\left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}, \, \frac{z_1 + z_2}{2}\right) \cr &= \left(\frac{4 + 6}{2},\, \frac{2 + 6}{2}, \, \frac{(-9) + (-3)}{2}\right) \cr &= (5,\, 4\, -6)\end{aligned}$ .
