If the area of a trapezoid with base b measuring 8 feet is 16.5 square feet and base a measuring the same length as the height, then what is the height of the trapezoid?
A.
7 feet
B.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A = \frac{h(a + b)}{2}

Substitute the given values with h = a, then

16.5 = \frac{a(a+8)}{2} ( multiply both sides by 2 )

33 = a(a + 8) ← distribute

33 = a² + 8a ( subtract 33 from both sides )

0 = a² + 8a - 33 ← in standard form

0 = (a + 11)(a - 3) ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for a

a + 11 = 0 ⇒ a = - 11

a - 3 = 0 ⇒ a = 3

However, a > 0 thus a = 3

Hence the height is 3 feet

Which of the values shown are potential roots of f(x) = 3x3 – 13x2 – 3x + 45? Select all that apply.
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

All potential roots are 3,3 and -\frac{5}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Potential roots of the polynomial is all possible roots of f(x).

f(x)=3x^3-13x^2-3x+45

Using rational root theorem test. We will find all the possible or potential roots of the polynomial.

p=All the positive/negative factors of 45

q=All the positive/negative factors of 3

p=\pm 1,\pm 3,\pm 5\pm \pm 9,\pm 15\pm 45

q=\pm 1,\pm 3

All possible roots

\frac{p}{q}=\pm 1,\pm 3,\pm 5\pm \pm 9,\pm 15\pm 45,\pm \frac{1}{3},\pm \frac{5}{3}

Now we check each rational root and see which are possible roots for given function.

f(1)= 3\times 1^3-13\times 1^2-3\times 1+45\Rightarrow 32\neq 0

f(-1)= 3\times (-1)^3-13\times (-1)^2-3\times (-1)+45\Rightarrow \neq 32

f(-3)= 3\times (-3)^3-13\times (-3)^2-3\times (-3)+45\Rightarrow \neq -144

f(3)= 3\times (3)^3-13\times (3)^2-3\times (3)+45\Rightarrow =0\\\\ \therefore x=3\text{ Potential roots of function}

Similarly, we will check for all value of p/q and we get

f(-5/3)=0

Thus, All potential roots are 3,3 and -\frac{5}{3}.

Consider the function f(x)=x3+3x2â51x+91. What is the remainder if f(x) is divided by (x+9)? Do not include (x+9) in your answer
makkiz [27]

Answer:

The remainder is 64

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the function f(x)=x^3+3x^2-51x+91

Use synthetic division to divide by x+9

x+9=0, x=-9

divide the given f(x) by -9 using synthetic division

-9               1           3       -51       91

                  0          -9     54        -27              

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

                  1           -6      3         64

The remainder is 64

Presbycusis is the gradual hearing loss that occurs as a person ages. An estimated one-quarter of Americans between the ages of
svetlana [45]

Answer:

The answer is the "Null hypothesis and Alternative hypothesis".

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is almost like a hypothesis test, which indicates the certain demographic characteristics which aren't varied.

The alternative presumption will be that the hypothesis besides making predictions is opposite to the void assumption. Its posts are generally taken as a result of a meaningful effect.

Difference:

The null hypothesis is indeed a gross generalization, which specifies there is no relation between different phenomenons under evaluation. There is no association between the two groups. An alternate solution hypothesis is a statement, that defines there is a relation between different chosen variables in this study.
