Are there options for the answers or not? If there is add the options.
Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
The x intercept is represented by the coordinate (x,0) on x axis.
So, to find the x intercept ,we need to equate y=0 in the equation 20x+70y=420
=> 20x+ 70*0=420
=> x=420/20 =21.
x intercept is (21,0).
Multiply 2^(-5) by 2^6. The correct result is 2^1, or just 2 (inches).
When roots of polynomials occur in radical form, they occur as two conjugates.
That is,
The conjugate of (a + √b) is (a - √b) and vice versa.
To show that the given conjugates come from a polynomial, we should create the polynomial from the given factors.
The first factor is x - (a + √b).
The second factor is x - (a - √b).
The polynomial is
f(x) = [x - (a + √b)]*[x - (a - √b)]
= x² - x(a - √b) - x(a + √b) + (a + √b)(a - √b)
= x² - 2ax + x√b - x√b + a² - b
= x² - 2ax + a² - b
This is a quadratic polynomial, as expected.
If you solve the quadratic equation x² - 2ax + a² - b = 0 with the quadratic formula, it should yield the pair of conjugate radical roots.
x = (1/2) [ 2a +/- √(4a² - 4(a² - b)]
= a +/- (1/2)*√(4b)
= a +/- √b
x = a + √b, or x = a - √b, as expected.
