Whoever goes first will lose, that's the solution
Answer:
1 -51
2 m and n, and a and b
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Divide wire b in parts x and b-x.
2. Bend the b-x piece to form a triangle with side (b-x)/3
There are many ways to find the area of the equilateral triangle. One is by the formula A=

A=

Another way is apply the formula A=1/2*base*altitude,
where the altitude can be found by applying the pythagorean theorem on the triangle with hypothenuse (b-x)/3 and side (b-x)/6
3. Let x be the circumference of the circle.

so

Area of circle =

4. Let f(x)=

be the function of the sum of the areas of the triangle and circle.
5. f(x) is a minimum means f'(x)=0
f'(x)=

=0



6. So one part is

and the other part is b-
Answer:
Please check explanations
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the factored form, all we have to do is to equate each of the factor to zero, then solve for x
The particular value of x represents the solution that shows the value of the x-intercept
for example
In a case of a quadratic equation where we have
(x-a)(x-b) = 0
Then we can have
(x-a) = 0 or ((x-b) = 0
Then we have x = a or x = b
a and b are the x intercepts in this case
