Answer:

Figure 6. A perpendicular bisector constructed for line NO.

 

Solution

We know from the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem that WZ=WY. We can now set up our equation to solve for x.

WZ=WY

2x+11=4x−5

Subtract 4x from both sides.

−2x+11=−5

Subtract 11 from both sides.

−2x=−16

Divide by −2 on both sides.

x=8

Now that we have our x-value, we can substitute it in to solve for the lengths of the segments.

WZ=2x+11

WZ=2(8)+11

WZ=16+11

WZ=27

 

WY=4x−5

WY=4(8)−5

WY=32−5

WY=27

You can see here that WZ=WY, which follows the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem. that is help fo

If f(x) = 2x^3 - 14x^2 + 38x -26 and x-1 is a factor of f(x) find all of the zeros of f(x) algebraically.
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First confirm that x = 1 is one of the zeros.

f(1) = 2(1)^3 - 14(1)^2 + 38(1) - 26

f(1) = 2 - 14 + 38 - 26

f(1) = -12 + 38 = + 26

f(1) = 26 - 26

f(1) = 0

=========================

next perform a long division

x -1  || 2x^3 - 14x^2 + 38x - 26 || 2x^2 - 12x + 26

          2x^3 - 2x^2

          ===========

                    -12x^2 + 28x

                     -12x^2 +12x

                     ==========

                                  26x -26

                                  26x - 26

                                 ========

                                      0

Now you can factor 2x^2 - 12x + 26

                                 2(x^2 - 6x + 13)

The discriminate of the quadratic is negative. (36 - 4*1*13) = - 16

So you are going to get a complex result.

x = -(-6) +/- sqrt(-16)

     =============

                 2

x  = 3 +/- 2i

f(x) = 2*(x - 1)*(x - 3 + 2i)*(x - 3 - 2i)

The zeros are

1

3 +/- 2i

Cade and Tyce both tried to find the missing side of the right triangle. A right triangle is shown. The legs are labeled 6 and 9
Talja [164]

Step-by-step explanation:

Two legs of the right triangle are 6 and 9. We can find its third side as follows :

a^2+b^2=c^2

The above is called Pythagoras theorem and it is applicable for a right angled triangle.

a,b and c are base, perpendicular and hypotenuse respectively

c is the third side

So,

c^2=6^2+9^2\\\\c=\sqrt{117} \\\\c=10.816\approx 10.82

Hence, Cade and Tyce both are correct. The length of the missing side is 10.82
