Answer:

If the equation's roots are 1 , 3, 3 then the equation can be formed by multiplying

(x -1) * ( x - 3) * (x-3) =0

x^2 -6x + 9 * (x -1) equals

x^3 -6x^2 +9x -x^2 + 6x -9 = 0 equals

x^3 -7x^2 + 15x -9 = 0

cubic equations GENERALLY have the form

ax^3 +bx^2 + cx +d = 0

Therefore

a =1 b = -7 c = 15 and d = -9

So, to make the numbers equal the equation in the problem:

x^3 + ax^2 + bx + c = 0

a = -7 b = 15 and c = -9

Solve the equation: \frac{2}{3}t=\frac{5}{9} (hint: reciprocal)

Aleks04 [339]

Given:

$\frac{2}{3}t=\frac{5}{9}$ $\text{ We know that the reciprocal of }\frac{2}{3}\text{ is }\frac{3}{2}\text{.}$

Multiply both sides by 3/2, we get

$\frac{3}{2}\times\frac{2}{3}t=\frac{3}{2}\times\frac{5}{9}$

Cancel out the common multiples, we get

$t=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{5}{3}$

$t=\frac{1\times5}{2\times3}$

$t=\frac{5}{6}$

The solution of the given equation is

$t=\frac{5}{6}$

$t=0.8333.$

The rectangular room shown has a length of 20 ft, width of 48 ft, and height of 10 ft. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find lengt

Vlad [161]

For the diagonal of the floor:
20^2 + 48^2= c^2
400+2304= c^2
c=52
For the diagonal of the cube:
52^2 + 10^2 = c^2
2704+100=c^2
c=52.95
Rounded= 53
