Solve the following equation in the real number system. Please show all of your work.
example:
x³-6x²-10x+12=0
...
f(x)=x³-6x²-10x+12
A graphing calculator will show that there is one zero at x=-2
Divide f(x) by (x+2) by long division or synthetic division
(x³-6x²-10x+12)/(x+2)=x^2-8x+6

solve for other two zeros
x^2-8x+6=0
complete the square
(x^2-8x+16)+6-16=0
(x-4)^2=10
x-4=±√10
x=4±√10=7.16 and -.84
ans:
x=-2, -.84 and 7.16

What is the exact value of the expression the square root of 486. − the square root of 24. + the square root of 6.? Simplify if

kenny6666 [7]

Sqrt(486) - sqrt(24) + sqrt(6)

find the factors of 486 that we can remove from under the square root sign
2 * 243
2 * 3 * 81
2 * 3 * 9 * 9 (we have 2 nines, we can move a 9 outside the sqrt sign)
sqrt(486) = 9 sqrt(6)

Repeating for sqrt(24)
2 * 12
2 * 2 * 6
2 * 2 * 2 * 3 (we can move a 2 outside the sqrt
sqrt(24) = 2 sqrt(6)

Finally, add all 3 terms together

9 sqrt(6) - 2 sqrt(6) + sqrt(6)
8 sqrt(6)

8 times square root of 6 is the final answer

The ordered pair (a,b)satisfies the inequality y need a little help

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

If you add 5 to a, it will be greater than b

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because if you have the inequality y<x+5 a=x b=y so by adding 5 to a meaning x 5+a will still be greater than b(y) with out changing the sign or inequality.

77 yd 36 yd What is the length of the hypotenuse? C = yards

Elden [556K]

Answer:

c = 85 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , that is

c² = 77² + 36² = 5929 + 1296 = 7225 ( take square root of both sides )

c = $\sqrt{7225}$ = 85
