A. The area of a square is given as:
<span>A = s^2 </span>
Where s is a measure of a side of a square. s = (2 x – 5)
therefore,
<span>A =
(2 x – 5)^2 </span>
Expanding,
A =
4 x^2 – 20 x + 25
<span>B.
The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent of the variable x, in this case
2. Therefore the expression obtained in part A is of 2nd degree.</span>
Furthermore,
polynomials are classified according to the number of terms in the expression.
There are 3 terms in the expression therefore it is classified as a trinomial.
<span>C.
The closure property demonstrates that during multiplication or division, the
coefficients and power of the variables are affected while during
multiplication or division, only the coefficients are affected while the power
remain the same.</span>
Answer:
E
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
y = 2x² - kx + 3
with a = 2, b = - k and c = 3
Since the curve touches the x- axis at one place then the roots are real and equal and the discriminant for this condition is
b² - 4ac = 0, that is
(- k)² - (4 × 2 × 3) = 0
k² - 24 = 0 ( add 24 to both sides )
k² = 24 ( take the square root of both sides )
k = ± 
= ± 2
k = 2 or k = - 2 → E
U . v = |u| . |v| cos 60 = 10 * 8 * 0.5 = 40 This is called the scalar (or dot) product.
