Answer: 39.3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of base of ramp.

We have been given that a skateboarding ramp is 12 in high and rises at an angle of 17 degrees. We are asked to find the base of the skateboard.

The height of ramp, the base of ramp and angle of elevation make a right triangle with ground, where, 12 inch is opposite side and base of ramp is adjacent side of angle of elevation.

Therefore, the base of ramp is 39.3 inches long.

Find a third degree polynomial function of the lowest degree that has the zeros below and whose leading coefficient is one.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The polynomial function of the lowest degree that has zeroes at -1, 0 and 6 and with a leading coefficient of one is $p(x) = x^{3}-5\cdot x^{2}-6\cdot x$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

From Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, we remember that the degree of the polynomials determine the number of roots within. Since we know three roots, then the factorized form of the polynomial function with the lowest degree is:

$p(x) = (x-r_{1})\cdot (x-r_{2})\cdot (x-r_{3}) = 0$ (1)

Where $r_{1}$ , $r_{2}$ and $r_{3}$ are the roots of the polynomial.

If we know that $r_{1} = -1$ , $r_{2} = 0$ and $r_{3} = 6$ , then the polynomial function in factorized form is:

$p(x) = (x+1)\cdot x \cdot (x-6)$ (2)

And by Algebra we get the standard form of the function:

$p(x) = x\cdot (x+1)\cdot (x-6)$

$p(x) = x\cdot (x^{2}-5\cdot x -6)$

$p(x) = x^{3}-5\cdot x^{2}-6\cdot x$ (3)

The polynomial function of the lowest degree that has zeroes at -1, 0 and 6 and with a leading coefficient of one is $p(x) = x^{3}-5\cdot x^{2}-6\cdot x$ .
