Mathematics
1 answer:
KatRina [158]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if they are Pythagorean triples they should check for the theorem

the biggest value 17/8 should be the hypothenuse

(17/8)² = 1² + (15/8)² ; square the numbers

289/ 64 = 1+ 225/ 64 ; find the common denominator for addition

289/ 64 = 64+ 225/ 64 ; add

289/ 64 = 289 /64 TRUE so they are Pythagorean Triples

Given that (x - 2) is a factor of this polynomial, use the Factor Theorem to find the value of a.
IceJOKER [234]
The factor theorem states that if (x-a) is a factor of P(x) the P(a) = 0  so we can write, for this polynomial:

2^(4) - 3(2)^3 + A(2)^2 - 6(2) + 14 = 0

16 - 24 + 4A - 12 + 14 = 0
4A =  -16+24 + 12 - 14 =  6
A = 6/4 = 1.5

The width of a rectangle is the length minus 2 units. The area of the rectangle is 15 units. What is the width, in units, of the
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is width = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

width = w = ?

length = l = ?

Area = 15 units

Process

1.- Write equations to help to solve this problem

   Area of a rectangle = width x length

                                    = w x l                         Equation l

   width = length - 2

         w = l - 2                                                  Equation ll

2.- Substitution

                            A = w x l

                          15 = (l - 2)(l)

3.- Expand

                          15 = l² - 2l

                           l² - 2l - 15 = 0

2.- Solve for l

-Find the prime factors of -15

                          15   3

                            5  5

                             1

     15 = 3 x 5

3.- Factor l² -2l - 15 = 0

                (l - 5)(l + 3) = 0

4.- Find the values of l

                 l₁ - 5 = 0            l₂ + 3 = 0

                 l₁ = 5                 l₂ = -3

The length if the rectangle = 5, it could not be -3, because there are no negative lengths.      

5.- Find w

                   w = l -2

                   w = 5 - 2            

                   w = 3 units
