Consider the polynomials p(x) = 3x + 27x^2 and q(x)= 2 . Find the x -coordinate(s) of the point(s) of intersection of these two

polynomials. What is the sum of these x -coordinates? (If there is only one point of intersection, give the corresponding x -coordinate.)

Answer:

The x -coordinate(s) of the point(s) of intersection of these two polynomials are x=\frac{2}{9}\approx0.2222,\:x=-\frac{1}{3}\approx-0.3333

The sum of these x -coordinates is \frac{2}{9}+\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)=-\frac{1}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

The intersections of the two polynomials, p(x) and q(x), are the roots of the equation p(x) = q(x).

Thus, 3x + 27x^2=2 and we solve for x

3x+27x^2-2=2-2\\27x^2+3x-2=0\\\left(27x^2-6x\right)+\left(9x-2\right)\\3x\left(9x-2\right)+\left(9x-2\right)\\\left(9x-2\right)\left(3x+1\right)=0

Using Zero Factor Theorem: = 0 if and only if = 0 or = 0

9x-2=0\\9x=2\\x=\frac{2}{9}

3x+1=0\\3x=-1\\x=-\frac{1}{3}

The solutions are:

x=\frac{2}{9}\approx0.2222,\:x=-\frac{1}{3}\approx-0.3333

The sum of these x -coordinates is

\frac{2}{9}+\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)=-\frac{1}{9}

We can check our work with the graph of the two polynomials.

Rectangle ABCD is similar to rectangle WXYZ. If the area of rectangle ABCD is 70 square inches, AD is 10 inches, and XY is 5 inc
rodikova [14]

Answer: The area of rectangle WXYZ is 18 square inches

Step-by-step explanation: Since both rectangles are similar, then lines AD and BC has a common ratio with lines WZ and XY. If line line AD is 10 inches, and line XY is 5 inches, then the ratio of similarity is given as

Ratio = 10/5

Ratio = 2/1 (or 2:1)

However rectangle ABCD has its area as 70 square inches, which means the other side is given as

Area = L x W

70 = 10 x W

70/10 = W

7 = W

Therefore the width of the other rectangle is determined as,

10/5 = 7/W

10W = 5 x 7

10W = 35

Divide both sides of the equation by 10

W = 3.5

Having calculated the width of the other rectangle as 3.5, the area is now determined as

Area = L x W

Area = 5 x 3

Area = 17.5

Rounded off to the nearest integer, the area equals 18 square inches

A graduated cylinder is filled with 36\pi36π36, pi cm^3 3 start superscript, 3, end superscript of liquid. The liquid is poured
lilavasa [31]
By definition, the volume of a cylinder is given by:
 V = π * r ^ 2 * h
 Where,
 r: cylinder radius
 h: height
 Clearing h we have:
 h = (V) / (π * r ^ 2)
 Substituting values:
 h = (36π) / (π * 3 ^ 2)
 h = (36π) / (9π)
 h = (36π) / (9π)
 h = 4 cm
 Answer:
 
The height of the liquid will be in the new cylinder about:
 
h = 4 cm
