Answer:

B {6, 6, 7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Which set of numbers may represent the lengths of the sides of a triangle? (A) {2,5,9} (B) {6,6,7} (C) {6,4,2} (D) {7,8,1}

For a given triangle with 3 sides, the sun of the length of any two sides must be greater Than the third side. This can be expressed mathematically as;

Let the side be ;

x, y and z

Then:

x > (y + z) or

y > (x + z) or

z > (x + y)

For A{2,5,9}

(2 + 5) < 9 (does not meet criteria)

For B {6,6,7}

(6 +6) > 7

(7 +6) > 6

Meets all criteria

For C {6,4,2}

(4 +2) is not greater Than 6 (does not meet criteria)

For D {7,8,1}

(7 +1) is not greater Than 8 ( does not meet criteria)

If a rectangle has an area of x^2+x-20 and a width of x-4, what is the length?
Mrac [35]

Answer:

This (x - 5) represents the length of the rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a rectangle of length L and width W is A = L * W.

Here, the width is x - 4 and the area is x^2 + x - 20.  Dividing the width (x - 4) into the area results in an expression for the length:

x - 4  /   x^2 + x - 20

Let's use synthetic division here.  It's a little faster than long division.

If the divisor in long division is x - 4, we know immediately that the divisor in synthetic division is 4:

4   /   1    1    -20

              4     20

    --------------------

         1     5     0

This synthetic division results in a remainder of 0.  This tells us that 4 (or the corresponding (x - 4) is indeed a root of the polynomial x^2 + x - 20, and so *(x - 4) is a factor.  From the coefficients 1 and 5 we can construct the other factor:  (x - 5).  This (x - 5) represents the length of the rectangle.
