The area for a trapezoid is
A = a+b
2 h hope I was able to help
Answer:
This is a fourth-degree polynomial
X-intercepts are - 5, -5, 3, and -3
The Y-intercept is 225
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it's already in the factored form you can find the zeros by separating each binomial and solving for x
x
2
−
25
=
0
x
2
=
25
x
=
±
5
x
2
−
9
=
0
x
2
=
9
x
=
±
3
so
x
=
±
5
,
±
3
To find the y-intercept and the degree of the polynomial we need to convert the factored form into standard form
f
(
x
)
=
(
x
2
−
25
)
(
x
2
−
9
)
f
(
x
)
=
x
4
−
9
x

−
25
x
2
+
225
f
(
x
)
=
x
4
−
34
x
2
+
225
The degree of a polynomial is just the leading coefficients power which is 4 in this equation
In order to find the y-intercept we just need to allow
x
=
0
because that is when any equation will cross the y-axis
f
(
x
)
=
0

f
(

)
=

The only one that is not rational is the square root of 12.
Because it cannot be split in half to make a whole number, instead, it would make a number and a half.
They need to have common denomenators so change the fractions to 12/15 - 5/15 which is 7/15.
