Answer:

-2b/(a-b)

Step-by-step explanation:

1− (a+b/a−b)

We need to get a common denominator of a-b

1 = (a-b)/(a-b)

Replace 1 with (a-b)/(a-b)

(a-b)/(a-b) - (a+b)/(a-b)

Put over the common denominator

(a-b) - (a+b)

-----------------

(a-b)

Distribute the minus sign.

(a-b) - a-b)

-----------------

(a-b)

a-a-b-b

---------------

a-b

-2b

----------

a-b

What is the sum of the roots of the polynomial shown below? f(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 - 11x-12

svp [43]

Answer:

Sum of the roots of the polynomial $x^{3}+2 x^{2}-11 x-12 \text { is }-2$

Solution:

The general form of cubic polynomial is $a x^{3}+b x^{2}+c x+d=0$ ---- (1)

If we have any cubic polynomial $a x^{3}+b x^{2}+c x+d=0$ having roots $\alpha , \beta , \theta$

Sum of roots $\alpha + \beta + \theta$ = $\frac{-b}{a}$ ---(2)

From question given that,

$x^{3}+2 x^{2}-11 x-12$ --- (3)

On comparing equation (1) and (3), we get a = 1, b = 2, c = -11 and d = -12

Hence the sum of roots using eqn 2 is given as,

= $\frac{-2}{1}$

= -2

Hence the sum of the roots of the polynomial $x^{3}+2 x^{2}-11 x-12 \text { is }-2$

It takes a hose 2 minutes to fill a rectangular aquarium 12 inches long, 13 inches wide, and 14 inches tall. How long will it ta

rusak2 [61]

Volume of the first aquarium = (12" x 13" x 14") = 2,184 inches³

Volume of the second aquarium = (32" x 34" x 35") = 38,080 inches³

The second aquarium has (38,080 / 2,184) = 17.44 times as much
volume as the first aquarium has.

So it'll take the hose 17.44 times as long to fill the second one

= (17.44) x (2 minutes) = 34.9 minutes.
