When factor 3 out of 3x^2-21
you get 3(x^2-7)

Firdavs [7]3 years ago

The highest common factor of the two terms is 3, so that goes outside the bracket as 3(____). To get 3x^2, you multiply 3 by x^2, which is your first term in the bracket, and to get -21, you multiply 3 by -7, so your final answer is 3(x^2 - 7). I hope this helps!

50 points! Tell whether the orthocenter is inside, on, or outside the triangle. Then find the coordinates of the orthocenter.

Nady [450]

Answer:

(1,3) is inside the triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Orthocenter is the intersection of altitudes.

We'll calculate the slopes of the two sides and their altitudes ad find the intersection.

m = (3 - 5)/(4 - (-1)) = -2/5

<u>Perpendicular slope:</u>

-1/m = 5/2

<u>Perpendicular line passes through S(-1, -2):</u>

y - (-2) = 5/2(x - (-1)) ⇒ y = 5/2x + 1/2

m = (-2 - 3)/(-1 -4) = -5/-5 = 1

<u>Perpendicular slope:</u>

-1/m = -1/1 = -1

<u>Perpendicular line passes through Q(-1, 5):</u>

y - 5 = -(x - (-1)) ⇒ y = -x + 4

The intersection of the two lines is the orthocenter.

<u>Solve the system of equations to get the coordinates of the orthocenter:</u>

5/2x + 1/2 = x + 4
5x + 1 = -2x + 8
7x = 7
x = 1

<u>Find y-coordinate:</u>

y = -1 + 4 = 3

The orthocenter is (1, 3)

If we plot the points, we'll see it is inside the triangle

Use the rational root theorem to list all possible rational roots for the equation.

Alik [6]

Answer:

The possible rational roots are

$\pm 1, \pm 2,\pm3,\pm6,\pm \frac{1}{3},\pm \frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the equation 3x^3+9x-6=0 and we have to list all possible rational roots by rational root theorem.

The factors of constant term are $1, 2, 3,6$

The factors of leading coefficient are $1,3,$

From ration root theorem, the possible roots are the ratio of the factors of the constant term and the factors of the leading coefficient. We include both positive as well as negative, hence we must include plus minus.

$\pm\frac{1,2,3,6}{1,3}\\\\ =\pm 1, \pm 2,\pm3,\pm6,\pm \frac{1}{3},\pm \frac{2}{3}$

Which classification best describes the following system of equations? X=5, y=6, -x-y+z=0

PolarNik [594]

I don't see any answer choices, but because it already gives you x and y, all you have to do is plug them into the equation.
-(5)-(6)+z=0
combine like terms
-11 + z = 0
add 11 to both sides
z = 11 is your answer
