Answer:
L=8
Step-by-step explanation:
S=smaller number
L=larger number
S+L=5 : S=5-L
L=14+2S
substitute for S:
L=14+2(5-L)
solve for L:
L=14+10-2L
3L=24
L=8
Answers:
Part A: 12y² + 10y – 21
Part B: 4y³ + 6y² + 6y – 5
Part C: See below.
Explanations:
Part A:
For this part, you add Sides 1, 2 and 3 together by combining like terms:
Side 1 = 3y² + 2y – 6
Side 2 = 4y² + 3y – 7
Side 3 = 5y² + 5y – 8
3y² + 2y – 6 + 4y² + 3y – 7 + 5y² + 5y – 8
Combine like terms:
3y² + 4y² + 5y² + 2y + 3y + 5y – 6 – 7 – 8
12y² + 10y – 21
Part B:
You have the total perimeter and the sum of three of the sides, so you just need that fourth side value, which we can call d.
P = 4y³ + 18y² + 16y – 26
Sides 1, 2 & 3 = 12y² + 10y – 21
Create an algebraic expression:
12y² + 10y – 21 + d = 4y³ + 18y² + 16y – 26
Solve for d:
12y² + 10y – 21 + d = 4y³ + 18y² + 16y – 26
– 12y² – 12y²
10y – 21 + d = 4y³ + 6y² + 16y – 26
– 10y – 10y
– 21 + d = 4y³ + 6y² + 6y – 26
+ 21 + 21
d = 4y³ + 6y² + 6y – 5
Part C:
If closed means that the degree that these polynomials are at stay that way, then yes, this is true in these cases because you will notice that each side had a y², y and no coefficient value except for the fourth one. This didn't change, because you only add and subtract like terms.
So, this is too vague but I'll solve for both quadratic formula and find the discriminant.
Quadratic formula: <span>x=<span>5+<span><span><span>√35 OR</span><span> </span></span>x</span></span></span>=<span>5−<span>√<span>35
Finding the discriminant: 141</span></span></span>
