Answer:

16 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance (D) of acorn from base of tree :

Using Pythagoras :

Adjacent = sqrt[(hypotenus² - opposite²)]

Hence,

D = sqrt[(20² - 12²)]

D = sqrt[(400 - 144)]

D = sqrt(256)

D = 16 feets

If -1 and 2 are the two zeros of the polynomial x3-4x2-7x+10 find the third zero
rewona [7]

note that the zeroes should be x = 1 and x = - 2 not x = - 1 and x = 2

the factors are then ( x - 1 ) and (x + 2)

and x³ - 4x² - 7x + 10 = (x - 1 )(x + 2) = x² + x - 2

thus x² + x - 2 is a factor

dividing x³ - 4x² - 7x + 10 by x² + x - 2 gives x - 5

the third zero is x = 5

check : (5)³ -4(5)² - 7(5) + 10 = 125 - 100 - 35 + 10 = 0

If M is the Midpoint of AB, then solve for x find the unknown measures the given segments.
Leto [7]

Answer:

If M is midpoint of AB, then

AM=MB

4x-5= 2x+11

2x=16

x=8

AM= 4x-5

=4(8)-5

=32-5

=27

BM=2x+11

=2(8)+11

=16+11

=27

Hope it helps:-)

If a line contains the point (0, -1) and has a slope of 2, then which of the following points also lies on the line?
larisa86 [58]
The answer is B. because if you make an equation in the form y=mx+b then you can solve the equation by inputting x where x goes in the equation and solving. BTW the equation would be y=2x-1
