How to find the missing values ?! I never did this.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Semmy [17]3 years ago

Answer:

  (a, b, c) = (2, -6, 2)  or  (2, 2, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the expression on the right and match coefficients, or factor the expression on the left and match factors.

  2x³ -8x² -24x = ax(x +b)(x +c)

  2x(x² -4x -12) = ax(x +b)(x +c)

  2x(x -6)(x +2) = ax(x +b)(x +c)

In this form, we can match the numbers to get ...

  • a = 2
  • b = -6
  • c = 2

You may recognize that b and c can be interchanged.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

If you expand the expression on the right, you get ...

  = ax³ +a(b+c)x² +abcx

This gives you 3 equations:

  • a = 2
  • 2(b +c) = -8
  • 2bc = -24

This is basically the same factoring problem in another form. You have ...

  bc = -12

  b+c = -4

The factors of -12 are ...

  -12 = 1(-12) = 2(-6) = 3(-4) . . . . . . with sums -11, -4, -1

So, b and c are -6 and 2, in no particular order.

  (a, b, c) = (2, -6, 2)  or  (2, 2, -6)

What is the height of an equilateral triangle with side lengths of 15? round to tenths?
Vinil7 [7]
If this is an equilateral triangle, we need half of it to find the height which is a leg of a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 15.  That means that the base of this half triangle is 7.5.  Use Pythagorean's Theorem to fine the height.  x^{2} =(15) ^{2} -(7.5) ^{2}.  x = 12.99 or 13

There was no actually pyramid for these questions it tells you the measurements in the problem though. please help me
Nimfa-mama [501]
V=448 in^3
l=8 in
w=12
h=?
V=l•w•h/3
448=8•12•h/3 multiply both sides by 3
3•448=96•h
1344=96•h
h=1344/96
h=14 in


V=l•w•h/3
h=4in
l=3in
w=2.5 in
V=?
V=4•3•2.5/3
V=30/3
V=10 in^3

Help please will mark brainliest.
swat32

Answer: the ANSWER IS 11 sqt

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor 1331 into its prime factors

          1331 = 113

To simplify a square root, we extract factors which are squares, i.e., factors that are raised to an even exponent.

Factors which will be extracted are :

          121 = 112

Factors which will remain inside the root are :

          11 = 11

To complete the simplification we take the squre root of the factors which are to be extracted. We do this by dividing their exponents by 2 :

          11 = 11

The simplified SQRT looks like this:

        11 • sqrt (11)  

Simplified Root :

11 • sqrt(11)

What is 1,000,000,000,000 as a power of 10?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

1,000,000,000 as a power of 10, is: 10^12

Step-by-step Solution:

We can expand 1,000,000,000, and write this number as a multiplication sentence using only the number 10. By doing this, we can count the number of tens needed to be multiplied to get to his answer:

1,000,000,000 = 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10  

Since 10 is multiplied by itself 12 times, we can therefore say that 10^12 is equal to 1,000,000,000
