I’m not the best at math, but ⬇️

For example, apply the distributive property to the expression 3(2 + x) to produce the equivalent expression 6 + 3x; apply the distributive property to the expression 24x + 18y to produce the equivalent expression 6 (4x + 3y); apply properties of operations to y + y + y to produce the equivalent expression 3y

$10.62 / 61lb =$7.05 / 4 lb
se invierte $7.05 y 61 lb
$10.62/ $7.05 =61lb / 4lb
simplifica

Find a polynomial of degree 3 with real coefficients and zeros of -3,-1, and 4, for which f(-2)=-24
Zanzabum

We want to find a polynomial

<em>f(x)</em> = <em>a</em> <em>x</em>³ + <em>b</em> <em>x</em>² + <em>c</em> <em>x</em> + <em>d</em>

such that the roots of <em>f</em> are <em>x</em> = -3, <em>x</em> = -1, and <em>x</em> = 4, and <em>f(x)</em> takes on a value of -24 when <em>x</em> = -2.

The factor theorem for polynomials tells us that we can factorize <em>f(x)</em> as

<em>a</em> <em>x</em>³ + <em>b</em> <em>x</em>² + <em>c</em> <em>x</em> + <em>d</em> = <em>a</em> (<em>x</em> + 3) (<em>x</em> + 1) (<em>x</em> - 4)

Expand the right side:

(<em>x</em> + 3) (<em>x</em> + 1) (<em>x</em> - 4) = <em>x</em>³ - 13<em>x</em> - 12

So we have

<em>a</em> <em>x</em>³ + <em>b</em> <em>x</em>² + <em>c</em> <em>x</em> + <em>d</em> = <em>a x</em>³ - 13<em>a</em> <em>x</em> - 12<em>a</em>

<em />

In order for both sides to be equal, the coefficients of both polynomials on terms of the same degree must be equal. This means

<em>a</em> = <em>a</em> (of course)

<em>b</em> = 0 (there is no <em>x</em>² term on the right)

<em>c</em> = -13<em>a</em>

<em>d</em> = -12<em>a</em>

<em />

We also have that <em>f</em> (-2) = -24, which means

<em>f</em> (-2) = <em>a</em> (-2 + 3) (-2 + 1) (-2 - 4)

-24 = 6<em>a</em>

<em>a</em> = -4

which in turn tells us that <em>c</em> = 52 and <em>d</em> = 48.

So we found

<em>f(x)</em> = -4<em>x</em>³ + 52<em>x</em> + 48

In triangle NOP p equals 600 inches angle P equals 96° and angle N equals 64° what is the area of triangle NOP to the nearest 10
DochEvi [55]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  55,637.8 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find side n using the Law of Sines:

  n/sin(N) = p/sin(P)

  n = p(sin(N)/sin(P)) = 600·sin(64°)/sin(96°)

  n ≈ 542.246913 . . . . inches

The angle O is ...

  O = 180° -N -P = 180° -64° -96° = 20°

Then the area is ...

  A = 1/2·np·sin(O)

  A = (1/2)(542.246913 in)(600 in)·sin(20°) ≈ 55,637.81008 in²

The area of ∆NOP is about 55,637.8 in².
