Answer:
11.91
Step-by-step explanation:
The question says there is a new line that connects V and T. If this line is drawn, the diagram would have a right-angle triangle. This triangle is called TUV.
In triangle TUV, the side length created by the points VT is the hypotenuse.
For right-angle triangles, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find any side.
It's in the format side² + side² = hypotenuse².
To use the formula, you need to know the length of the other two sides. The length of these sides, because they are exactly horizontal or vertical, is found by subtracting the smaller coordinate from the other (that is not the same).
The lengths of other sides:
VU:
-3 is the same. The length is 3.5 - (-5.75) = 9.25
UT:
-5.75 is the same. The length is 4.5 - (-3) = 7.5
Substitute the lengths into the Pythagorean theorem:
a² + b² = c²
9.25² + 7.5² = c² Simplify
141.8125 = c² Find the square root of both sides to isolate c
c = 11.91 Final answer, length of VT
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.
Answer:
6
(x−7)(x−1) this is the correct answer
Answer: B.
Step-by-step explanation: It's the only table that shows a consistent slope. The equation would be y=6x+6.
