Do you know the Rational Roots Theorem? You could dream up possible rational roots by writing them in the form
plus or minus {1,2, 3,6} OVER plus or minus {1,2,5,10}. For example, 3/10 is rational and just might be a rational root. Next, determine whether or not this is a rational root here thru synthetic division.
If you do not know this theorem, consider using one of the following:
quadratic formula
completing the square
graphing (look for the x-values at which the parabolic graph here crosses the x-axis).
30 treadmills : 36 ellipticals
this could be written in a few ways, but i am going to write it as a fraction. since treadmills come first, you put 30/36.
now that you have your fraction you have to find the GCF (greatest common factor) of the two numbers. the GCF is 6, so you have to divide 30 treadmills by 6, and 36 ellipticals by 6.
30/6=5
36/6=6
5/6 or 5:6 is the simplified ratio of treadmills to ellipticals
comment for any questions!!
because the amount of sides will help u figure out what quadrilateral you are looking at
