Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>Using whole numbers, fractions, and decimals, these are the eight addition equations that have the sum of 10
</span>1. 5+5=10
2. 1 1/2 + 8 1/2 =10
3. 2.9+7.1=10
4. 6 1/3 + 3 2/3 =10
5. 4 3/5 + 5 2/5=10
6. 9.01+.99=10
7. 3.72+6.28 = 10
8. 8 8/9+ 1 1/9=10
AB = BE = 5
BD = BE + ED = 5 + 3 = 8
BC = 8
BD = BC
CD = 5 which is not equal to 8.
Triangle BCD has exactly 2 congruent sides.
Answer: Triangle BCD is isosceles.
Remark
I don't know exactly what level you are in, but the obvious factors are
y = 2x*(x^3 + 11x + 30)
This gives one more factor somewhere around x = -11.3 . Notice that the minimum is around - 3000 or so. I don't think anyone is going to try and take this any further. My calculator figures out cubics and gives an answer of -11.23. There are two other roots but they are a complex pair.
Answer
factor 1: 2x
factor 2: x^3 + 11x^2 + 30
