The scale factor is 1/2 or a half
The way to find this out is you want to take the number of seeds and divide it by the amount he would like in the pack. You want to see how many 12s can fit into 360. 360/12 if you divide 360 by 12, you will come to your total and final answer of 30 :)
When roots of polynomials occur in radical form, they occur as two conjugates.
That is,
The conjugate of (a + √b) is (a - √b) and vice versa.
To show that the given conjugates come from a polynomial, we should create the polynomial from the given factors.
The first factor is x - (a + √b).
The second factor is x - (a - √b).
The polynomial is
f(x) = [x - (a + √b)]*[x - (a - √b)]
= x² - x(a - √b) - x(a + √b) + (a + √b)(a - √b)
= x² - 2ax + x√b - x√b + a² - b
= x² - 2ax + a² - b
This is a quadratic polynomial, as expected.
If you solve the quadratic equation x² - 2ax + a² - b = 0 with the quadratic formula, it should yield the pair of conjugate radical roots.
x = (1/2) [ 2a +/- √(4a² - 4(a² - b)]
= a +/- (1/2)*√(4b)
= a +/- √b
x = a + √b, or x = a - √b, as expected.
Step-by-step explanation:
12. n^2+2n
if you insert 1 for k and then work up by inserting 2 for k and adding those together and stoping at n.
13. 8-2(2^n)
if you insert 3 for k and then work up by inserting 4 for k and adding those together and keep on going but stopping at n.
Hope that helps :)
