C^2 = a^2 + b^2
26^2 = 10^2 + b^2
676 = 100 + b^2
576 = b^2
shortest side length = 24 units

If m and n are the zeroes of the polynomial 6y 2 -7y – 2, find a polynomial whose zeroes are 1/m and 1/n

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

$y^2-\frac{7}{2}y+3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial is,

6y² - 7y - 2

Fro the zeros of the given polynomial,

6y² - 7y - 2 = 0

6y² - 4y - 3y - 2 = 0

2y(3y - 2) - 1(3y - 2) = 0

(2y - 1)(3y - 2) = 0

(2y - 1) = 0

y = $\frac{1}{2}$

(3y - 2) = 0

y = $\frac{2}{3}$

Therefore, zeros of this polynomial are m = $\frac{1}{2}$ and n = $\frac{2}{3}$

If a polynomial has zeros as $\frac{1}{m}$ and $\frac{1}{n}$ then the zeros will be $\frac{3}{2}$ and 2.

Polynomial will be,

$(y-\frac{3}{2})(y-2)$

= $y(y-2)-\frac{3}{2}(y-2)$

= $y^2-2y-\frac{3}{2}y+3$

= $y^2-\frac{7}{2}y+3$

suppose f(x) = x2, how does the range of g(x) = f(x) + k compare to the range of f(x)? Where k is any constant value.

anyanavicka [17]

First: Please use the symbol " ^ " to indicate exponentiation. Your f(x) should be x^2, not x2. "x^2" reads "the square of x."

Let y equal g(x) = f(x) + k: y = <span>g(x) = f(x) + k. See that "k" is a y value?
If k=1, we merely translate the graph of f(x)=x^2 UP one scale division to obtain the graph of g(x) = f(x) + 1.

So, how does the range of g(x) compare to the range of f(x)? </span>

Find cos(B) in the triangle.<br> Choose 1 answer: 8/17

gavmur [86]

Answer:

8 / 17

Step-by-step explanation:

So cosine is adjacent ÷ hypotenuse.

Adjacent = 8

Hypotenuse = 17

8 / 17

Cathryn went on a 3 day round trip hike at Matterhorn Peak Mountain. The first day she hiked 3 miles. The second day she hiked 2

Nitella [24]

44,880 feet because there are 5280ft in a mile so you do: 5280(3) + 5280(2.5) + 5280(3) = 44,880
