Answer:

Error of Andrew: Made incorrect factors from the roots

Step-by-step explanation:

Roots of the polynomial are: 3, 2 + 2i, 2 - 2i. According to the factor theorem, if a is a root of the polynomial P(x), then (x - a) is  a factor of P(x). According to this definition:

(x - 3) , (x - (2 + 2i)) , (x - (2 - 2i)) are factors of the required polynomial.

Simplifying the brackets, we get:

(x - 3), (x - 2 - 2i), (x - 2 + 2i) are factors of the required polynomial.

This is the step where Andrew made the error. The factors will always be of the form (x - a) , not (x + a). Andrew wrote the complex factors in form of (x + a)  which resulted in the wrong answer.

So, the polynomial would be:

(x - 3)(x - 2 - 2i)(x - 2+2i)=0\\\\ (x-3)(x^{2}-2x+2xi-2x+4-4i-2xi+4i-4i^{2})=0\\\\ (x-3)(x^{2}-4x+4+4)=0\\\\ (x-3)(x^{2}-4x+8)=0\\\\ x^{3}-4x^{2}+8x-3x^{2}+12x-24=0\\\\ x^{3}-7x^{2}+20x-24=0

<h3>System of equations.</h3>

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}y=2x&(1)\\3x+4y=22&(2)\end{array}\right

Put (1) to (2):

3x+4(2x)=22\\3x+8x=22\\11x=22\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 11}\\\boxed{x=2}

Substitute the value of x to (1):

y=2\cdot2\\\boxed{y=4}

Solution:

\huge\boxed{\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x=2\\y=4\end{array}\right}

Can someone please help?
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

C.  y = 2/3 x - 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of the slope-intercept equation of a line is y = mx + c where m = the slope and  (0. c) is the y-intercept.

We are given that the slope = 2/3 and the y intercept is at (0,-2) so our equation is y = 2/3 x - 2.

Q5.Jumbo is standing on top of a cliff looking at a speed boat out at sea.The vertical of the cliff from the base (sea level) to
Leni [432]

Answer:

A) 150 m

B) 180.28 m

Step-by-step explanation:

A) In order to find the horizontal distance from the base of the cliff to the speed boat, use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the length of the missing side.

We are told that one of the sides is 80 m and the hypotenuse is 170 m. Therefore,

  • a² + b² = c²
  • (80)² + b² = (170)²
  • b² = 170² - 80²
  • b² = 22500
  • b = 150

The horizontal distance between the base of the cliff and the boat is 150 m.

B) Now, the side that was 80 m is now 100 m (includes the height that the helicopter is above Jumbo). The horizontal distance remains the same, 150 m, but the hypotenuse is different. Solving for the hypotenuse will give us the distance between the helicopter and the speed boat.

  • (100)² + (150)² = c²
  • 32500 = c²
  • 180.28 = c

The distance between the helicopter and the speed boat is 180.28 m.
