Brilliant_brown [7]3 years ago

Answer:

As for this problem, we will first establish that the length of the flower bed be represented as x, the width of the flower bed be represented as x/2 ,and the area of the flower bed be taken as it is since it is given. We then follow the formula for area which is length multiplied to width which is:

A = LW

we then substitute them

34 square feet = x (x/2)

now all we need to do is find x first.

34 square feet = x squared / 2

now do a cross multiplication

68 square feet = x squared

then get the square root of both sides

8.246 feet = x

Since x is equal to the length of the flower bed, all we have to do to get the width of it is to divide it by 2. So...

W = x/2

W = 8.246 feet / 2

W = 4.123 feet

And since the problem asked it to find the width of the flower bed to the nearest tenth of a foot, the answer would be 4.1 ft.

Verify that 2,-1 and 1⁄2 are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

i) Since P(2), P(-1) and P(½) gives 0, then it's true that 2,-1 and 1⁄2 are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial.

ii) - the sum of the zeros and the corresponding coefficients are the same

-the Sum of the products of roots where 2 are taken at the same time is same as the corresponding coefficient.

-the product of the zeros of the polynomial is same as the corresponding coefficient

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the cubic polynomial;

p(x) = 2x³ - 3x² - 3x + 2

For us to verify that 2,-1 and 1⁄2 are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial, we will plug them into the equation and they must give a value of zero.

Thus;

P(2) = 2(2)³ - 3(2)² - 3(2) + 2 = 16 - 12 - 6 + 2 = 0

P(-1) = 2(-1)³ - 3(-1)² - 3(-1) + 2 = -2 - 3 + 3 + 2 = 0

P(½) = 2(½)³ - 3(½)² - 3(½) + 2 = ¼ - ¾ - 3/2 + 2 = -½ + ½ = 0

Since, P(2), P(-1) and P(½) gives 0,then it's true that 2,-1 and 1⁄2 are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial.

Now, let's verify the relationship between the zeros and the coefficients.

Let the zeros be as follows;

α = 2

β = -1

γ = ½

The coefficients are;

a = 2

b = -3

c = -3

d = 2

So, the relationships are;

α + β + γ = -b/a

αβ + βγ + γα = c/a

αβγ = -d/a

Thus,

First relationship α + β + γ = -b/a gives;

2 - 1 + ½ = -(-3/2)

1½ = 3/2

3/2 = 3/2

LHS = RHS; So, the sum of the zeros and the coefficients are the same

For the second relationship, αβ + βγ + γα = c/a it gives;

2(-1) + (-1)(½) + (½)(2) = -3/2

-2 - 1½ + 1 = -3/2

-1½ - 1½ = -3/2

-3/2 = - 3/2

LHS = RHS, so the Sum of the products of roots where 2 are taken at the same time is same as the coefficient

For the third relationship, αβγ = -d/a gives;

2 * -1 * ½ = -2/2

-1 = - 1

LHS = RHS, so the product of the zeros(roots) is same as the corresponding coefficient

13. Solve 2/3 + 5/6 and put answer in simplest<br> form.<br> O A. 11/2<br> B.<br> c. 76<br> D.776
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

3/2 or 1 + 1/2

i havent done fractions in a long time but this is what i got from memory

you turn the 2/3 into 4/6 so they can easily be added together to get 9/6 which can be simplified to 3/2 or in proper form 1 + 1/2
