Sholpan [36]3 years ago

Answer:

In a right pentagonal prism, the bases are pentagons and the lateral faces are rectangles. If we take a cross-section perpendicular to the base, this same cross-section will be parallel to the lateral faces. This means it will be the same shape as the lateral faces, which is a rectangle.

The sum of two numbers is 15. four times the smaller number is 60 less than twice the larger number. what is the larger number?
kirza4 [7]
X = smaller number, y = larger number
x + y = 15.....x = 15 - y
4x = 2y - 60

4(15 - y) = 2y - 60
60 - 4y = 2y - 60
60 + 60 = 2y + 4y
120 = 6y
120/6 = y
20 = y <==== larger number is 20

x + y = 15
x + 20 = 15
x = 15 - 20
x = - 5

In a group of 15 children the ratio of the boy : the girl is 2: 3: 5 more girls join the group. Calculate the percentage of boys
marta [7]

Answer:

Percentage of new group boys = 30%

Percentage decrease for the boys = 10%

Increase percent of the girls = 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of children = 15

Ratio (Boys to Girls) = 2 : 3

Number of more girls join = 5

Find:

Percentage of boys in new group

Percentage decrease for the boys

Increase percent of the girls

Computation:

Number of boys = 15[2/5]

Number of boys = 6

Number of girls = 15[3/5]

Number of girls = 9

Percentage of boys = [6 / 15]100

Percentage of boys = 40%

Percentage of girls = [9 / 15]100

Percentage of girls = 60%

New number of students = 15 + 5

New number of students = 20

New number of boys = 6

New number of girls = 9 + 5 = 14

Percentage of new group boys = [6 / 20]100

Percentage of new group boys = 30%

Percentage of new group girls = [14 / 20]100

Percentage of new group girls = 70%

Percentage decrease for the boys = 40% - 30%

Percentage decrease for the boys = 10%

Increase percent of the girls = 70% - 60%

Increase percent of the girls = 10%

Verify that -5, 1/2, and 3/4 are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial 4x^3+20x^2+2x-3. Also verify the relationship between the ze
Finger [1]

Solution:

we have been asked to verify that -5, 1/2, and 3/4 are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial 4x^3+20x^2+2x-3

To verify that whether the given values are zeros or not we will substitute the values in the given Polynomial, if it will returns zero, it mean that value is Zero of the polynomial. But if it return any thing other than zeros it mean that value is not the zero of the polynomial.

Let f(x)=4x^3+20x^2+2x-3\\\\\text{when x=-5}\\\\f(-5)=4(-5)^3+20(-5)^2+2(-5)-3=-13\\\\\text{when x=}\frac{1}{2}\\

f( \frac{1}{2} ) = 4 ( \frac{1}{2} )^3+20(\frac{1}{2})^2+2(\frac{1}{2})-3=\frac{7}{2}\\\\

\text{when x=}\frac{3}{4}\\\\

f( \frac{3}{4} ) = 4 ( \frac{3}{4} )^3+20(\frac{3}{4})^2+2(\frac{3}{4})-3=\frac{183}{16}\\

Hence -5, 1/2, and 3/4 are not the zeroes of the given Polynomial.

Since sum of roots=\frac{-b}{a}= \frac{-20}{4}=-5\\

But -5+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{4}=  \frac{-15}{4}\neq-5

Hence we do not find any relation between the coefficients and zeros.

Anyway if the given values doesn't represents the zeros then those given values will not have any relation with the coefficients of the p[polynomial.

Please help! I will mark as brainliest IF answer is right. &lt;3
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The length of the long side is 147 ft

The length of the short side is 30 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

L=5s-3

s= 324-2L

324=2(5s-3)+s

distribute

324=10s-6+s

simplify

324=11s-6

add 6 to both sides

330=11s

divide by 11

30=s

Plug in the s value to determine the length of the long side
