Answer:

Each side would have the length of 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the area of something you have to multiply the side length and 3 x 3 equals 9.

Answer: The length of each side is 3cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the area of a square is A=a²

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given

The Area is 9 cm

Formula

A=a²

Substitute the value into the formula

A=a²

9=a²

a=√9

a=3

(The reason why it is not ±3 is that length cannot be negative)

Hope this helps!! :)

Use the Factor Theorem and synthetic division to show x + 5 is a factor of f(x) = 2x3 + 7x2 − 14x + 5

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Factor theorem: $f(-5) = 0$ .

Synthetic division: $f(x) = (x + 5)\, (2\, x^2 -3\, x + 1)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Factor Theorem</h3>

By the factor theorem, a monomial of the form $(x - a)$ (where $a$ is a constant) is a factor of polynomial $f(x)$ if and only if $f(a) = 0$ .

In this question, the monomial is $(x + 5)$ , which is equivalently $(x - (-5))$ . $a = -5$ .

$\begin{aligned}& f(-5) \\ &= 2 \times (-5)^{3} + 7 \times (-5)^{2}- 14\times (-5) + 5\\ &= -250 + 175 + 70 + 5 \\ &= 0\end{aligned}$ .

Hence, by the factor theorem, $(x + 5)$ , which is equivalent to $(x - (-5))$ , is a factor of $f(x)$ .

<h3>Synthetic Division</h3>

$\begin{aligned}& f(x) \\ &= 2\, x^{3} + 7\, x^{2} - 14\, x + 5 \\ &= \underbrace{(x + 5) \, (2\, x^2)}_{2\, x^{3} + 10\, x^{2}} - 3\, x^{2} - 14\, x + 5 \\ &= \underbrace{(x + 5) \, (2\, x^2)}_{2\, x^{3} + 10\, x^{2}} + \underbrace{(x + 5)\, (-3\, x)}_{-3\, x^{2} - 15\, x} + (x + 5) \\ &= (x + 5)\, (2\, x^{2} - 3\, x + 1)\end{aligned}$ .

The remainder is $0$ when dividing $f(x)$ by $(x + 5)$ . Hence, $(x + 5)\!$ is a factor of $f(x)\!$ .

(b) To have no winner within the first 6 tosses means that there must be 3 tails and 3 heads tossed. So we count how many ways can that happen. The number of ways to choose 3 heads (or tails, doesn't matter) from 6 tosses is

${6\choose 3}=\frac{6\cdot 5\cdot 4}{3\cdot 2} = 20$

so 20 ways winthin the 6 tosses. but the question was "how many ways among the 128 of 7 tosses" so we need to add the 7th toss by multiplying by another 2 possibilities for the outcome of the 7th toss, giving us the answer: among the 128 there are 40 games that are tied and need the 7th toss.

(c) The probability is the number of tied games (after 6 tosses) divided by the total number of possible configurations among 6 tosses:

$P(\mbox{"7th toss needed"}) = \frac{20}{64} = \frac{5}{16}$
