If -1 and 2 are the two zeros of the polynomial x3-4x2-7x+10 find the third zero

rewona [7]3 years ago
5 0

note that the zeroes should be x = 1 and x = - 2 not x = - 1 and x = 2

the factors are then ( x - 1 ) and (x + 2)

and x³ - 4x² - 7x + 10 = (x - 1 )(x + 2) = x² + x - 2

thus x² + x - 2 is a factor

dividing x³ - 4x² - 7x + 10 by x² + x - 2 gives x - 5

the third zero is x = 5

check : (5)³ -4(5)² - 7(5) + 10 = 125 - 100 - 35 + 10 = 0

The length of each side of a square is 6 feet more than the length of a side of a regular Octagon. The perimeter of the square i
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

  • square: 12 ft sides
  • octagon: 6 ft sides

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be worked in your head.

If the perimeters of the square and regular octagon are the same, the side length of the 4-sided square must be the same as the length of 2 sides of the 8-sided octagon. Since the side of the square is 6 ft more than the side of the octagon, each side of the octagon must be 6 ft, and each side of the square must be 12 ft.

__

We can let s represent the side length of the octagon. Then we have ...

  8s = perimeter of octagon

  4(s +6) = perimeter of square

These are equal, so ...

  4(s +6) = 8s

  s +6 = 2s . . . . . . divide by 4

  6 = s . . . . . . . . . . subtract s

The octagon has 6-ft sides; the square has 12-ft sides.
