See explanation below.
Explanation:
The 'difference between roots and factors of an equation' is not a straightforward question. Let's define both to establish the link between the two..
Assume we have some function of a single variable
x
;
we'll call this
f
(
x
)
Then we can form an equation:
f
(
x
)
=
0
Then the "roots" of this equation are all the values of
x
that satisfy that equation. Remember that these values may be real and/or imaginary.
Now, up to this point we have not assumed anything about
f
x
)
. To consider factors, we now need to assume that
f
(
x
)
=
g
(
x
)
⋅
h
(
x
)
.
That is that
f
(
x
)
factorises into some functions
g
(
x
)
×
h
(
x
)
If we recall our equation:
f
(
x
)
=
0
Then we can now say that either
g
(
x
)
=
0
or
h
(
x
)
=
0
.. and thus show the link between the roots and factors of an equation.
[NB: A simple example of these general principles would be where
f
(
x
)
is a quadratic function that factorises into two linear factors.
The answer is C because if something is divided by zero, it is undefined.
Answer:
I believe it would be 21 units . dont let extra line's confuse you just pay attention to the letters its asking for
Answer:
The distance from the star to the second checkpoint is 4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question in the attached figure
we know that
When you get to the second checkpoint, you are 1/4 of the distance to the finish
so
The distance from the star to the second checkpoint is equal to the total distance multiplied by 1/4
The total distance is 40 miles ( see the attached figure)
so
The distance from the star to the second checkpoint is
<em>Find out the distance from the start to the first checkpoint</em>
Multiply the distance from the star to the second checkpoint by 2/5
