Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

For this we'll put all of these options in place of x

Number 1:

=> $2(2)^2+7(2)-4$

=> 2(4)+14-4

=> 8+10

=> 18

So, This is not the zero of the polynomial

Number 2:

=> $2(1/2)^2+7(1/2)-4$

=> 2(1/4)+7/2-4

=> 1/2+7/2-4

=> $\frac{1+7-8}{2}$

=> $\frac{8-8}{2}$

=> 0

Yes, This is the zero of the polynomial having zero as an answer

So, We'll end the solution here because we have found the zero of the polynomial.

Hope this helps :)

What is the missing constant term in the perfect square that starts with x^2-12x

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Essentially, we are trying to find the missing constant term of $(x - a)^2$ (remember that we are subtracting $a$ due to the negative sign in front of the second term). Let's expand this to see what we can work with:

$(x - a)^2$

Set up

$x^2 - ax - ax + a^2 = x^2 - 2ax + a^2$

FOIL and simplify

Now, we know the second term is $12x$ , so let's set the second term in the polynomial we just found equal to $12x$ :

$2ax = 12x$

Set up

$2a = 12$

Divide both sides of the equation by $x$

$a = 6$

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

We have found $a = 6$ . We know the missing constant term is $a^2$ , according to the polynomial we found earlier. Thus, the missing term is:

$a^2 \Rightarrow 6^2 = 36$

The missing constant term is 36.

A student inscribes a triangle within a semicircle. What is the measure of ∠XYZ?

nata0808 [166]

Answer: a. 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the in a circle, the measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the central angle with the same intercepted arc.

In the problem∠XYZ is the inscribed angle

∠XYZ= $\frac{1}{2}\ arc(XZ)$

⇒ ∠XYZ= $\frac{1}{2}\angle{XZ}$

Since XZ is a diameter of the circle which is a line segment, thus ∠XZ=180°

∴ ∠XYZ= $\frac{1}{2}180^{\circ}=90^{\circ}$

∴ ∠XYZ= $90^{\circ}$

Therefore, a. 90° is the measure of ∠XYZ.

Half of allen's test score plus 8 equals 50. what did Allen score on his test?

Dmitry [639]

Let x= Allen's score

1/2x +8=50
multiply by 2 to eliminate the fraction
x+16=100
subtract 16 from both sides
x= 84 is Allen's test score

hope this helps

Composite volcanoes are known for their beautiful, distinctive cone shape. A composite volcano called Mayon in the Philippines h

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The lateral area of volcano is 323.361 km square

Explanation:

Given the diameter of the volcano (cone) = 20 km

Then, radius (r) = 20/2 = 10km

Height of the volcano (h) = 2.46 km

Given, the volcano has a distinctive cone shape
