Answer:

See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>First we will solve the radical equation</u> (which I guess was problem 1),

Let's start by simplifying it:

3\sqrt{6-x}+4=-8\\ 3\sqrt{6-x}=-8-4\\ 3\sqrt{6-x}=-12\\\sqrt{6-x}=-4

Now we will solve the equation by squaring both sides of the equation:

\sqrt{6-x} =-4\\6-x=-4^{2} \\6-x=16\\-x=16-6\\-x=10\\x=-10

So the calculation for x was that x = -10

However, this does not produce a solution to the equation: When we plug this value into the radical equation we get:

3\sqrt{6-x} +4= -8\\3\sqrt{6-(-10)} +4=-8\\3\sqrt{16}+4 = -8\\ 3(4)+4 = -8\\12 + 4 = -8

This happens because <u>when we first squared both sides of the equation in the first part of the problem we missed one value for x </u>(remember that all roots have 2 answers, a positive one and a negative one) while squares are always positive.

When we squared the root, we missed one value for x and that is why the calculation does not produce a solution to the equation.

Find all the real zeros of <br><br> f(x)=3x^3-9x^2+3x-9 <br><br><br> Can someone help me please
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

x=0,3

Step-by-step explanation:

start by dividing every term by 3

x^3-3x^2+x-3

group into 2 terms

(x^3-3x^2)+(x-3)

simplify as much as you can

x^2(x-3)+(x-3)

combine terms

(x^2)(x-3)

x=3, 0

1. Write out the law of cosines and find the hypotenuse of triangle with 2 sides lengths equal to three and the included angle m
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

1.) \sqrt{13.341}  ≈ 3.652

2.) I would say something about how the A in front of cos in the equation would change to 90, rather than stay 75 (in the equation for the step by step), but it would be easier to just use the Pythagorean theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think we may have the same class so hopefully this helps:

1.) a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bccosA --> law of cosines formula.

   a^2 = 3^2 + 3^2 - 2(3)(3)cos(75) --> plugged in numbers; when you draw the triangle, the included angle would be A, and the opposite side would be a. B and b, and C and c are opposite each other. In this case, a is the hypotenuse.

   a^2 = 18 - 18cos75 --> in between steps.

   a^2 = 13.341 --> more simplifying.

   a(hypotenuse) = \sqrt{13.341} or 3.652 --> answer

2.) This one is just an explanation: The 75 in the equation is the given angle, which is a. If this changes, it would just change in the equation too. And obviously, if it's 90 degrees, you can just use Pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2.

Good luck! :)
