Answer:

a=35

b=20

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b =55

a=b+15

b+15 +b =55

2b=55 - 15

2b=40

b=40 :2

b=20 (the smallest number)

a=20 +15 =35 (the largest number)

Find all rational roots for p(x)=0

Olenka [21]

Answer

C. (5/2, -1/3)

Step by step explanation

Here we use the rational root theorem.

The possible roots are

+1, +3, +5, +15, +1/2, +3/2, +5/2, +15/2, +1/3, +5/3, +1/6 and +5/6

We have to use the synthetic division to find the correct root of this function.

Here the roots are 5/2 and -1/3

Others are not roots of this function.

Let's check x = 5/2 with synthetic division.

5/2) 6 -13 13 -39 -15

- 15 5 45 15

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

6 2 18 6 0

Similarly x = -1/3 is also root of this function.

Answer: C. (5/2, -1/3)

Honey and Money are twin brothers. Mother wants to equally divide a rectangular shaped cake of 5cm wide and 6cm long. Find the l

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Length of rectangular cake = 5 cm

Breadth of rectangular cake = 6 cm

Area of rectangle = 5 cm × 6 cm =30 cm²

If cake is equally distributed between Honey and Money, then areas of two parts should be equal.

So, Amount of cake that Honey and money got $\frac{30}{2}=15$

Share of each (Honey and Money)=15 cm²

So, if the third cake if it was cut diagonally ,the cake must have some height.

Let the height of cake be H.

So, Height of third cake $=\sqrt{L^2+B^2+H^2}\\\\=\sqrt{5^2+6^2+H^2}\\\\=\sqrt{61+H^2}$

If , H=0 that is height is negligible having 0 thickness,

Then the Length of third cake, which is divided into two parts=√61=7.81 cm
