Answer:

2 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be length of the small piece and y the length of the big one.

● y = 5x

Since the big piece is 5 times longer than the short one.

The total length is 12 ft

● y + x = 12

● 5x + x = 12

● 6x = 12

Divide both sides by 6

● 6x/6 = 12/6

● x = 2

So the length of the two pieces are 2 ft and 10 ft (5×2)

How do I apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression for 4(6 + 6y)
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

24y+24

Step-by-step explanation:

You multiply the number on the outside of the parenthesis with both the numbers on the inside of the parenthesis. The + stays the same.

4*6y=24y

4*6=24

Hope this helps!

Verify that -5, 1/2, and 3/4 are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial 4x^3+20x^2+2x-3. Also verify the relationship between the ze
Finger [1]

Solution:

we have been asked to verify that -5, 1/2, and 3/4 are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial 4x^3+20x^2+2x-3

To verify that whether the given values are zeros or not we will substitute the values in the given Polynomial, if it will returns zero, it mean that value is Zero of the polynomial. But if it return any thing other than zeros it mean that value is not the zero of the polynomial.

Let f(x)=4x^3+20x^2+2x-3\\\\\text{when x=-5}\\\\f(-5)=4(-5)^3+20(-5)^2+2(-5)-3=-13\\\\\text{when x=}\frac{1}{2}\\

f( \frac{1}{2} ) = 4 ( \frac{1}{2} )^3+20(\frac{1}{2})^2+2(\frac{1}{2})-3=\frac{7}{2}\\\\

\text{when x=}\frac{3}{4}\\\\

f( \frac{3}{4} ) = 4 ( \frac{3}{4} )^3+20(\frac{3}{4})^2+2(\frac{3}{4})-3=\frac{183}{16}\\

Hence -5, 1/2, and 3/4 are not the zeroes of the given Polynomial.

Since sum of roots=\frac{-b}{a}= \frac{-20}{4}=-5\\

But -5+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{4}=  \frac{-15}{4}\neq-5

Hence we do not find any relation between the coefficients and zeros.

Anyway if the given values doesn't represents the zeros then those given values will not have any relation with the coefficients of the p[polynomial.
