Hey there!

In order to solve this problem, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem, which is c^2 = a^2 + b^2. Since the Pythagorean Theorem would find only half of the length of x, we'll need to double it in the end.

First, let's plug in what we know to the Pythagorean Theorem: 2.1^2 = 1.4^2 + b^2

Next, we'll simplify to that b^2 is by itself:

b^2 = 2.45

Then, we'll find the square root of 2.45, multiply that by 2 and round to the nearest tenth:

2(\sqrt{2.45} ) = 3.1

Therefore, x = 3.1 ft.


How to round to the nearest tenth:

In a decimal, the tenth is the first number after the decimal point. To round to the tenth, if the number in the hundredth place is less than 5, you keep the number as it is, but if the number in the hundredth place is more than 5, you increase the number in the tenth place by 1.


Hope this helps!! :)

Use the Remainder Theorem to completely factor p(x) = x ^3 + 7x ^2 + 11x + 5.
tigry1 [53]

In order to use the remainder theorem, you need to have some idea what to divide by. The rational root theorem tells you rational roots will be from the list derived from the factors of the constant term, {±1, ±5}. When we compare coefficients of odd power terms to those of even power terms, we find their sums are equal, which means -1 is a root and (x +1) is a factor.

Dividing that from the cubic, we get a quotient of x² +6x +5 (and a remainder of zero). We recognize that 6 is the sum of the factors 1 and 5 of the constant term 5, so the factorization is

... = (x +1)(x +1)(x +5)

... = (x +1)²(x +5)

_____

The product of factors (x +a)(x +b) will be x² + (a+b)x + ab. That is, the factorization can be found by looking for factors of the constant term (ab) that add to give the coefficient of the linear term (a+b). The numbers found can be put directly into the binomial factors to make (x+a)(x+b).

When we have 1·5 = 5 and 1+5 = 6, we know the factorization of x²+6x+5 is (x+1)(x+5).

A grocery store sells avocados for $1.25 each. The graph shows the cost for different numbers of avocados.
Aleksandr [31]
I don’t know if this is right or not so, sorry if it’s wrong ;-;

1,2,3,4,5 = independent

c=1.25a = neither

$1.25, $2.50, $3.75, $5.00, $6.25 = dependent

Number of avocados = independent

Cost of avocados = dependent

If this is right then I’ll put the explanation in the comments, again sorry if it isn’t.

Answer:

The total length of the pathway now is 1,541 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the length of the pathway now, what we need to do is to have a consistency in units.

Thus, we need to convert the 513 yards to ft

Mathematically 1 yard = 3 feet

Thus 513 yards will be = 513 * 3 = 1,539 ft

Thus the total length of the pathway now will be 1539 ft + 2 ft = 1541 ft
