So whats the rest of this question? its uncompleted.
The first two is worth 2,000 and the second is worth 200.
Polynomials are linear combinations of positive integer powers. For example,
is a polynomial, but
is not.
(In case you're unfamiliar with the term, a linear combination of two quantities is the sum of scaled versions of those quantities, e.g. a general linear combination of and is , where are any numbers.)
is not a polynomial; the offending term is , or .
Answer:
(i) 22.5
(ii) 7.2
Step-by-step explanation:
(i)
AB:PQ = 2:5 = 1:2.5
So PQ is 2.5 times longer than AB.
PQ=2.5AB=(2.5)9=22.5
(ii):
Since the triangles are similar, their sides are in ratio to each other. So if PQ was 2.5 times longer than AB, QR must also be 2.5 times longer than BC:
QR=2.5BC
BC=QR/2.5=18/2.5=7.2
