Answer: b = p - a -c
Step-by-step explanation:
p= a + b + c Solving for b means getting b on one side by itself.
p = a + b + c To solve for b first subtract a from both sides to get,
-b -b
p - a = b + c Now subtract c from both sides to get
-c -c
p - a - c = b
b = p - a -c
A, because parallelogram is the same as a rectangle, just tilted a bit. therefore the method is just base X height.
Starting with x=1, subtract 1 from each side,
(x-1)=0
Our polynomial will have multiplicity of 2 for this particular zero,
(x-1)(x-1)
and do similar with the x=-4, add 4 to each side,
(x+4)=0
So our final result is: (x-1)(x-1)(x+4)
Expand out the brackets if you need this in standard form.
