When roots of polynomials occur in radical form, they occur as two conjugates.
That is,
The conjugate of (a + √b) is (a - √b) and vice versa.
To show that the given conjugates come from a polynomial, we should create the polynomial from the given factors.
The first factor is x - (a + √b).
The second factor is x - (a - √b).
The polynomial is
f(x) = [x - (a + √b)]*[x - (a - √b)]
= x² - x(a - √b) - x(a + √b) + (a + √b)(a - √b)
= x² - 2ax + x√b - x√b + a² - b
= x² - 2ax + a² - b
This is a quadratic polynomial, as expected.
If you solve the quadratic equation x² - 2ax + a² - b = 0 with the quadratic formula, it should yield the pair of conjugate radical roots.
x = (1/2) [ 2a +/- √(4a² - 4(a² - b)]
= a +/- (1/2)*√(4b)
= a +/- √b
x = a + √b, or x = a - √b, as expected.
Answer:
40 games will be played in total.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin and then a translation 16 units right and 16 units up
Solution -Rotating the triangle 90° counterclockwise will take the triangle to 3rd quadrant and then further moving it 16 steps right will take it to 4th quadrant and followed by 16 steps upward will take it to the desired position which is in 1st quadrant.
2/3
16/24 and divide the greatest common factor (8)
I think it is 1/2
hope this helped
