Anna:

1st month = 18 + $\frac{3}{4}$ = 18 $\frac{3}{4}$ inches

2nd month = 18 $\frac{3}{4}$ + $\frac{3}{4}$ = 19 $\frac{1}{2}$

3rd month = 19 $\frac{1}{2}$ + $\frac{3}{4}$ = 20 $\frac{1}{4}$

4th month = 20 $\frac{1}{4}$ + $\frac{3}{4}$ = 21

5th month = 21 + $\frac{3}{4}$ = 21 $\frac{3}{4}$

Grace:

Because Anna is $\frac{9}{4}$ inches shorter than Grace, we can start the count from the third month:

1st month = 20 $\frac{1}{4}$

2nd month = 21

3rd month = 21 $\frac{3}{4}$

4th month = 21 $\frac{3}{4}$ + $\frac{3}{4}$ = 22 $\frac{1}{2}$

5th month = 22 $\frac{1}{2}$ + $\frac{3}{4}$ = 23

Find the polynomial of minimum degree, with real coefficients, zeros at

drek231 [11]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{p(x)=4x^3-20x^2+4x+300}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{If}\ x=4\pm3i\ \text{and}\ x=-3\ \text{are the zeros of a polynomial, then it has a form:}\\\\p(x)=\bigg(x-(4-3i)\bigg)\bigg(x-(4+3i)\bigg)\bigg(x-(-3)\bigg)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=(x-4+3i)(x-4-3i)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=\underbrace{\bigg((x-4)+3i\bigg)\bigg((x-4)-3i\bigg)}_{\text{use}\ (a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2}(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=\bigg((x-4)^2-(3i)^2\bigg)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\qquad\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2$

$p(x)=(x^2-2(x)(4)+4^2-3^2i^2)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\qquad\text{use}\ i^2=-1\\\\p(x)=(x^2-8x+16-9(-1))(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=(x^2-8x+16+9)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=(x^2-8x+25)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\qquad\text{use FOIL}:\ (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\\\\p(x)=\bigg((x^2)(x)+(x^2)(3)+(-8x)(x)+(-8x)(3)+(25)(x)+(25)(3)\bigg)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=(x^3+3x^2-8x^2-24x+25x+75)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\p(x)=(x^3-5x^2+x+75)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)$

$\text{The y-intercept is at 300}.\\\\\text{For}\ w(x)=a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+a_{n-2}x^{n-2}+...+a_1x+a_0\\\\\text{y-intercept is}\ a_0\\\\\text{Therefore for}\ p(x)=(x^3-5x^2+x+75)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\\text{y-intercet is}\ 75\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\75\bigg(r(x)\bigg)=300\qquad\text{divide both sides by 75}\\\\r(x)=4\\\\\text{Finally:}\\\\p(x)=(x^3-5x^2+x+75)(4)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\p(x)=(x^3)(4)+(-5x^2)(4)+(x)(4)+(75)(4)\\\\p(x)=4x^3-20x^2+4x+300$

I NEED THIS ANSWER NOW! Determine which postulate or theorem can be used to prove that ABC DCB.

Archy [21]

Quick Answer SSS
Proof
AC = DB
AB = DC
BC = BC This side is equal to itself and is common to both triangles.

Three sides of one triangle equal to 3 sides of the other means that the triangles are congruent. It is the Theorem you need.

What is the justification for each step in solving the inequality? 3x+1/2<−x+4 Select from the drop-down menus to correctly j

patriot [66]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x+1)/2<−x+4

Multiply each side by 2 using the multiplication property of equality

3x+1 < -2x +8

Subtract 1 from each side using the subtraction property of equality

3x < -2x+7

Add 2x to each side using the addition property of equality

5x < 7

Divide each side by 5 using the division property of equality

x < 7/5
