Answer:

The answer to your question is 2(x - 9/2)(x - 3/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Polynomial           20x² - 102x + 54

Process

1.- Find the Greatest Common Factor

                            20   102   54   2

                             10     51    27  2

                              5      51    27  3

                              5      17      9  3

                              5       17     3  3

                              5       17      1  5

                               1       17         17

                                         1

GCF = 2

2.- Factor 2

                        2(10x² - 51x + 27)

3.- Factor   10x² - 51x + 27

Use the general formula to solve this equation

                        x = \frac{-b +- \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac}}{2a}

a = 10   b = -51   c = 27

                        x = \frac{51 +- \sqrt{51^{2} -4(10)(27)}}{2(10)}

-Simplification

                       x = \frac{51 +- 39}{20}

-Result

                        x₁ = 9/2       x₂ = 3/5

                       (x - 9/2)        (x - 3/5)

4.- Answer

                      2(x - 9/2)(x - 3/5)

Find the area A of polygon CDEFGH with the given vertices. C(0,5), D(2,5), E(2,3), F(3,2), G(-1,2), H(0,3)
enot [183]

Answer:

<em>The area of the polygon CDEFGH is 7</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Area of a Polygon</u>

The area of a polygon is generally calculated as the sum of the smaller areas that form its full shape, give each partial area has a known shape, like a square, rectangle, triangle, circle, etc.

The six points given in the question are plotted in the image below. They form a polygon whose area can be divided into two smaller shapes:

The area CDHE is a square of length side 2. Area of a square:

A1=L^2

The area HEFG is a trapezoid with bases lengths 4 and 2,  and height 1. Area of a trapezoid:

\displaystyle A2=\frac{b1+b2}{2}h

Calculate both areas:

A1=2^2=4

\displaystyle A2=\frac{2+4}{2}\cdot 1=3

Total Area=4+3=7

The area of the polygon CDEFGH is 7

Can someone help me with this?! thanks!!
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

you literally just translate each shape by the number of squares specified.

Step-by-step explanation:

for example, move shape 1 5 squares to the right, then 4 down. it will be in the middle area of quadrant 1 (where it already is).
