47 feet and 3 inches.

12 inches = 1 feet,

3 inches = 3/12 = 1/4 = 0.25 ft.

Therefore 47 feet and 3 inches = 47 fee + 0.25 feet = 47.25 feet.

12 inches = 1 foot

thus 47 feet 3 inches = (47+3/12) feet =47.25 feet

What are the zeros of the polynomial function? <br><br> F(x)= x^2 +12x

Pavel [41]

Answer:

x = 0 and x = -12 are the two zeroes

Step-by-step explanation:

"Zeroes" of a function are also called the solutions, roots or x intercepts.

The zeroes are the numbers that give the function a values of 0, so find what value for 'x' yields F(x) = 0 as a result.

With quadratic equations (equations with x² as the largest exponent), you factor the equation.

Step 1: Set the equation equal to zero

x² + 12x = 0

Depending on the equation, there are several methods you can use to factor, for this one we can factor out an 'x' since both terms have an 'x' in them. We get...

x(x + 12) = 0

So now, using the "zero product property" which means that if two things are multiplied together, and the result is zero, then either the first term is zero, the second term is zero, or they are both zero. So we set each term equal to zero and solve.

either x = 0 or x + 12 = 0

Solve each for x to get your two anwers.

x= 0 is already solved, so 0 is our first zero

Now solve

x + 12 = 0

x = -12 (subtract 12 from both sides to isolate x)

Ryan has 3/4 cup of pudding. How many 1/6 cup serving of pudding can ryan make?

ale4655 [162]

You need to divide the amount he has by the serving size.

(3/4) / (1/6) =

= 3/4 * 6/1

= 18/4

= 4 1/2

He can make 4 1/2 servings.

Determine the most specific name for the figure in the diagram.

<span>ABCD is a parallelogram. Looking at the quadrilateral ABCD, the first thing to do is to determine if the opposite sides are parallel to each other. So let's check that by looking at the opposite sides. Line segment BA. When you go from point B to point A, you move to the right 1 space, and down 4 spaces. So the slope is -4. Looking at line segment CD, you also move to the right 1 space and down 4 spaces, which also means a slope of -4. So those two sides are parallel. When you compare line segments BC and AD, you'll notice that for both of them, you go to the right 5 spaces and up 2 spaces, so those too are parallel. So we can now saw that the quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram. Since ABCD is a parallelogram, we now need to check if it's a rectangle (we know it can't be a square since the sides aren't all the same length). An easy way to test if it's a rectangle is to check of one of the angles is 90 degrees. And if we draw a line from B to D, we can create a triangle ABD. And in a right triangle, due to Pythagora's theorem we know that A^2 + B^2 = C^2 where A is the line segment AB, B is the line segment AD and C is the line segment BD. So let's calculate A^2, B^2, and C^2. A^2: Line segment AB. We can construct a right triangle with A = 1 and B = 4. So C^2 = 1^2 + 4^2 = 1 + 16 = 17. So we have an A^2 value of 17 B^2: Line segment AD. We can construct a right triangle with A = 2 and B = 5. So C^2 = 2^2 + 5^2 = 4 + 25 = 29. So we have an B^2 value of 29 C^2: Line segment BD. We can construct a right triangle with A = 2 and B = 6. So C^2 = 2^2 + 6^2 = 4 + 36 = 40. So we have a C^2 value of 40. Now let's check if the equation A^2 + B^2 = C^2 is correct: 17 + 29 = 40 46 = 40 And since 46 isn't equal to 40, that means that ABCD can not be a rectangle. So it's just a parallelogram.</span>
