Since the area of a triangle is in the form
area=0.5(base)(height)
height=base+7
let base=x
area=0.5(x)(7+x)
30=3.5x+0.5x^2
multiply the equation by 2
60=7x+x^2
subtract 60 from both sides
x^2+7x-60=0
(x-5)(x+12)=0
thus x=5 or x=-12 since we are only considering positive answers
x=-12 is rejected
so base=5 and height=5+7=12

To fill out a sign chart, you will need to use test numbers before and after each of the function's zeros and ___

Vikki [24]

Answer:

C. asymptotes

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached, a sign chart is shown. To fill it out you need to find the function's zeros and asymptotes. The zeros are those x values that makes the function equal to zero, in the example, those are the x values that make the denominator equal to zero (x = -1 and x = 5). In a rational function, the asymptotes are those x values that make the numerator equal to zero (x = -9 in the example)

Function in the example:

$\frac{(-2x-2)(2x-10)}{-9x-81}$
