Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value of x, create a proportion. A proportion is two equal ratios for similar figures. The two triangles are similar because they are the same shape but not the same size. Create ratios between corresponding sides of figures.
To solve for x, cross multiply:
12(x+4) = (2x+1)(8)
12x + 48 = 16x + 8
48 = 4x + 8
40 = 4x
10 = x
D because you have to use absolute value to solve.
Answer:
This is a fourth-degree polynomial
X-intercepts are - 5, -5, 3, and -3
The Y-intercept is 225
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it's already in the factored form you can find the zeros by separating each binomial and solving for x
x
2
−
25
=
0
x
2
=
25
x
=
±
5
x
2
−
9
=
0
x
2
=
9
x
=
±
3
so
x
=
±
5
,
±
3
To find the y-intercept and the degree of the polynomial we need to convert the factored form into standard form
f
(
x
)
=
(
x
2
−
25
)
(
x
2
−
9
)
f
(
x
)
=
x
4
−
9
x
2
−
25
x
2
+
225
f
(
x
)
=
x
4
−
34
x
2
+
225
The degree of a polynomial is just the leading coefficients power which is 4 in this equation
In order to find the y-intercept we just need to allow
x
=
0
because that is when any equation will cross the y-axis
f
(
x
)
=
0
4
−
34
(
0
)
2
+
225
f
(
x
)
=
225
The answer is For this question is D you are welcome
