Answer:If you can spot a factor of
f(x)
then you can use synthetic division to divide by that factor to give a simpler polynomial to factor.
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter is 30
Area is also 30.
Add the numbers to get the perimeter and then use 1/2bh to get the area. <span />
We need Pythagoras theorem here
a^2+b^2 = c^2
a, b = legs of a right-triangle
c = length of hypotenuse
Let S=shorter leg, in cm, then longer leg=S+2 cm
use Pythagoras theorem
S^2+(S+2)^2 = (10 cm)^2
expand (S+2)^2
S^2 + S^2+4S+4 = 100 cm^2 [collect terms and isolate]
2S^2+4S = 100-4 = 96 cm^2
simplify and form standard form of quadratic
S^2+2S-48=0
Solve by factoring
(S+8)(S-6) = 0 means (S+8)=0, S=-8
or (S-6)=0, S=6
Reject nengative root, so
Shorter leg = 6 cm
Longer leg = 6+2 cm = 8 cm
Hypotenuse (given) = 10 cm
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
exponential function : 
where a = y intercept and b = factor ( what you multiply by )
looking at the table the y intercept is at (0,10) so a = 10
so we now have y = 10 * (b)^x
to find the factor we simply plug in one of the ordered pairs.
note that the ordered pair chosen does not effect the outcome
i chose (2,250)
we have y = 10 * (b)^x
(x,y) = (2,250)
250 = 10 * (b)^2
divide both sides by 10
25 = b^2
take the square root of both sides
5 = b
the final equation would be f(x) = 10 * (b)^x
