Answer:

1) For a = 1: b = 6 and k = 6, 2) For a = 3: b = 4 and k = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial y = x^{2} - 7\cdot x + k is a second-order polynomial of the form (x-a)\cdot (x-b) = x^{2}-(a+b)\cdot x + a\cdot b. By direct comparison, we construct the following system of equations:

a + b = 7 (1)

a\cdot b = k (2)

By (1) we know that there are a family of pairs such that the system of equations is satisfied. Let suppose that both a and b are integers. We assume two arbitrary integers for a:

1) a = 1

b = 7 - a

b = 6

a\cdot b = k

k = (6)\cdot (1)

k = 6

2) a = 3

b = 7 - a

b = 4

a\cdot b = k

k = (3)\cdot (4)

k = 12

Which of the following lists is in order from smallest to largest?
Stells [14]

Answer:

The following list is in order from smallest to largest is 17\%,0.175,\frac{2}{11},\frac{1}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be \frac{2}{11},\frac{1}{5},17\%,0.175

To find the list in order from smallest to largest:

\frac{2}{11},\frac{1}{5},17\%,0.175

Rewritting the above numbers as below

0.18,0.5,\frac{17}{100},0.175

0.18,0.5,0.17,0.175

Now arranging the numbers in order from smallest to largest

0.17,0.175,0.18,0.5

\frac{17}{100},0.175,\frac{2}{11},\frac{1}{5}

The arranged numbers can be written as

17\%,0.175,\frac{2}{11},\frac{1}{5}

The following list is the order from smallest to largest is 17\%,0.175,\frac{2}{11},\frac{1}{5}
