Answer: The hook would be 2.2 inches (approximately) above the top of the frame
Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the picture attached for further details.
The top of the picture frame has been given as 9 inches and a 10 inch ribbon has been attached in order to hang it on a wall. The ribbon at the point of being hung up would be divided into 5 inches on either side (as shown in the picture). The line from the tip/hook down to the frame would divide the length of the frame into two equal lengths, that is 4.5 inches on either side of the hook. This would effectively give us two similar right angled triangles with sides 5 inches, 4.5 inches and a third side yet unknown. That third side is the distance from the hook to the top of the frame. The distance is calculated by using the Pythagoras theorem which states as follows;
AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2
Where AC is the hypotenuse (longest side) and AB and BC are the other two sides
5^2 = 4.5^2 + BC^2
25 = 20.25 + BC^2
Subtract 20.25 from both sides of the equation
4.75 = BC^2
Add the square root sign to both sides of the equation
2.1794 = BC
Rounded up to the nearest tenth, the distance from the hook to the top of the frame will be 2.2 inches
Answer:
The equation does not have a real root in the interval ![\rm [0,1]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Crm%20%5B0%2C1%5D)
Step-by-step explanation:
We can make use of the intermediate value theorem.
The theorem states that if
is a continuous function whose domain is the interval [a, b], then it takes on any value between f(a) and f(b) at some point within the interval. There are two corollaries:
- If a continuous function has values of opposite sign inside an interval, then it has a root in that interval. This is also known as Bolzano's theorem.
- The image of a continuous function over an interval is itself an interval.
Of course, in our case, we will make use of the first one.
First, we need to proof that our function is continues in
, which it is since every polynomial is a continuous function on the entire line of real numbers. Then, we can apply the first corollary to the interval
, which means to evaluate the equation in 0 and 1:

Since both values have the same sign, positive in this case, we can say that by virtue of the first corollary of the intermediate value theorem the equation does not have a real root in the interval
. I attached a plot of the equation in the interval
where you can clearly observe how the graph does not cross the x-axis in the interval.
Answer:
x
Step-by-step explanation:
7x+18−6(x+1)−12
start out with distributive property
7x+18+(-6x)+(-6)+(-12)
then add the common things together
x+0
answer is just x, or infine answers, you could put in anything for x
