Answer:

We want a polynomial of smallest degree with rational coefficients with zeros in \sqrt{7}, 1 - \sqrt{6} and -3. The last root gives us the factor (x+3). Hence, our polynomial is

P(x) =(x+3)q(x)

where q is a polynomial with rational coefficients and roots \sqrt{7} and 1 - \sqrt{6}. The root \sqrt{7} gives us a factor x-\sqrt{7}, but in order to obtain rational coefficients we must consider the factor x^2-7.

An analogue idea works with 1 - \sqrt{6}. For convenience write  x - 1 + \sqrt{6} = ( x - 1) + \sqrt{6}. This gives the factor (x-1)^2-6. Hence,

P(x) = (x+3)(x^2-7)((x-1)^2-6)=x^5+x^4-18x^3-22x^2+77x+105

Notice that P(-1)=24. So, in order to satisfy the last condition we divide by 3 the whole polynomial, without altering its roots. Finally, the wanted polynomial is

P(x) =(1/3)x^5+(1/3)x^4-6x^3-(22/3)x^2+(77/3)x+35

Step-by-step explanation:

We must have present that any polynomial it's determined by its roots up to a constant factor. But here we have irrational ones, in order to eliminate the irrational coefficients that a factor of the type x-\sqrt7 will introduce in the expression, we need to multiply by its conjugate x+\sqrt7. Hence, we will obtain x^2-7 that have rational coefficients. Finally, the last condition is given with the intention to fix the constant factor. Usually it is enough to evaluate in the point and obtain the necessary factor.

11y - |x|; if x = -10 and y = 2
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

- 8

Step-by-step explanation:

x = - 10

y = 2

I x I

= I - 10 I

= 10

y - I x I

= 2 - 10

= - 8

Geometry Values of a Kite
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

x=7

y=18

The length of each of the two shorter sides is 14.

The length of each of the two longer sides is 19.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+5 = x+12 and y-4 = x+5

Solve for x first

2x+5-5 = x+12-5 Subtract 5 from both sides to eliminate it.

2x-x = x-x+7 Subtract x from both sides to eliminate it.

x=7 Now, substitute 7 for x in y-4 = x+5 to solve for y.

y-4 = (7)+5

y-4 = 12

y-4+4 = 12+4 Add 4 to both sides to eliminate it.

y = 18

Finally, we can substitute 7 for x and 18 for y in all equations to see the lengths of each side.

(18)-4=14 The length of each of the two shorter sides is 14.

2(7)+5=19 The length of each of the two longer sides is 19.

Please answer this and thank you<br><br> If DE=4x+10, EF=2-1, and DF=9x-15, find DF.
professor190 [17]
I hope that 2-1 means 21.

DE + EF = DF
4x + 10 + 21 = 9x - 15
4x + 31 = 9x - 15
31 = 9x - 4x - 15
31 = 5x - 15
46 = 5x
x = 9 1/5 = 9.2

You want 9x - 15
9*9.2 - 15
82.8 - 15
67.8 <<<<< answer. 
If I have given the wrong meaning to 2-1 (which could mean 1) leave another note and I will correct my work.
