Answer:

y = 3/4( x+5)( x+4) ( x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the polynomial is

y = c( x- a1)( x- a2) ( x-a3) where c is a constant and a1,a2,a3 are the zeros

We have zeros -5,-4 and 1

y = c( x- -5)( x- -4) ( x-1)

y = c( x+5)( x+4) ( x-1)

We have a y intercept of -15

That means x=0 and y = -15

-15 = c ( 0+5)( 0+4) ( 0-1)

-15 = c( 5) ( 4) (-1)

-15 = c( -20)

Divide each side by -20

-15/-20 = c

3/4 =c

The equation is

y = 3/4( x+5)( x+4) ( x-1)

There are 25 trees on the Jackson’s property. Twenty percent of the trees are oak trees. Which equation can be used to find the

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

StartFraction 25 divided by 1 Over 20 divided by 1 EndFraction = StartFraction 25 Over 20 EndFraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of trees = 25

Percentage of aok trees = 20%

To obtain the Number of oak trees :

(Number of trees ÷ 1) ÷ (percentage ÷1)

(25 / 1) ÷ (20 / 1) = (25 /1) * (20 / 1) = 25 / 20

StartFraction 25 divided by 1 Over 20 divided by 1 EndFraction = StartFraction 25 Over 20 EndFraction

Find the standard equation of a sphere that has diameter with the end points given below. (3,-2,4) (7,12,4)

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The standard equation of the sphere is $(x-5)^{2} + (y-5)^{2} + (z-4)^{2} = 53$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the end point are (3,-2,4) and (7,12,4)

Since we know the end points of the diameter, we can determine the center (midpoint of the two end points) of the sphere.

The midpoint can be calculated thus

Midpoint = $(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} }{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2} }{2}, \frac{z_{1} + z_{2} }{2})$

Let the first endpoint be represented as $(x_{1}, y_{1}, z_{1})$ and the second endpoint be $(x_{2}, y_{2}, z_{2})$ .

Hence,

Midpoint = $(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} }{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2} }{2}, \frac{z_{1} + z_{2} }{2})$

Midpoint = $(\frac{3 + 7 }{2}, \frac{-2+12 }{2}, \frac{4 + 4 }{2})$

Midpoint = $(\frac{10 }{2}, \frac{10}{2}, \frac{8 }{2})\\$

Midpoint = $(5, 5, 4)$

This is the center of the sphere.

Now, we will determine the distance (diameter) of the sphere

The distance is given by

$d = \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} +(y_{2} - y_{1})^{2} + (z_{2}- z_{1})^{2} }$

$d = \sqrt{(7 - 3)^{2} +(12 - -2)^{2} + (4- 4)^{2}$

$d = \sqrt{(4)^{2} +(14)^{2} + (0)^{2}$

$d = \sqrt{16 +196 + 0$

$d =\sqrt{212}$

$d = 2\sqrt{53}$

This is the diameter

To find the radius, r

From $Radius = \frac{Diameter}{2}$

$Radius = \frac{2\sqrt{53} }{2}$

∴ $Radius = \sqrt{53}$

r = $\sqrt{53}$

Now, we can write the standard equation of the sphere since we know the center and the radius

Center of the sphere is $(5, 5, 4)$

Radius of the sphere is $\sqrt{53}$

The equation of a sphere of radius r and center $(h,k,l)$ is given by

$(x-h)^{2} + (y-k)^{2} + (z-l)^{2} = r^{2}$

Hence, the equation of the sphere of radius $\sqrt{53}$ and center $(5, 5, 4)$ is

$(x-5)^{2} + (y-5)^{2} + (z-4)^{2} = \sqrt{(53} )^{2}$

$(x-5)^{2} + (y-5)^{2} + (z-4)^{2} = 53$

This is the standard equation of the sphere
