Answer:

f(x) = -0.8x^3 +0.2x

Step-by-step explanation:

For root 'a', one of the factors will be (x-a). For the three given roots, the factored form of the polynomial can be written ...

f(x) = c(x -(-1/2))(x-0)(x -1/2) = cx(x^2 -1/4)

Then for x=-2, the value is ...

f(-2) = c(-2)((-2)^2 -1/4) = -7.5c

f(-2) = 6 = -7.5c

c = -6/7.5 = -0.8

Then the polynomial can be written as ...

f(x) = -0.8x^3 +0.2x

Blaire has 20 tomato plants altogether.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Tomatoes plants ready to pick = 18

This represents 90% of total tomato plants.

Let,

x be the original number of tomato plants.

90% of x = 18

$\frac{90}{100}*x=18$

$0.9x=18$

Dividing both sides by 0.9

$\frac{0.9x}{0.9}=\frac{18}{0.9}$

$x=20$

Blaire has 20 tomato plants altogether.

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

$(c^{2}+d)+2(cd)$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The algebraic expression of the phrase " The sum of square of c and d" is equal to adds the square of number c to the number d

$(c^{2}+d)$

The algebraic expression of the phrase " The sum of square of c and d increased by twice their product" is equal to

Based only on the information given in the diagram, which congruence theorems or postulates could be given as reasons why ABC~DE

12345 [234]

Answer:- B , C and F are the right options.

Explanation:-

1. HA cannot be a reason to show given triangles are congruent as it is not given that they have an acute angle common in both the triangles.

2. HL can be a reason to show given triangles are congruent as the triangles are right triangle with equal legs and hypotenuse.

3. SAS can be a reason to show given triangles are congruent as there are two congruent sides in both triangles and included angles ∠A=∠D=90° [right angle].

4. LA cannot be a reason to show given triangles are congruent as it is not given that they have an acute angle common in both the triangles.

5. AAS cannot be a reason to show given triangles are congruent as it is not given that they have two angles common in both the triangles.

6.SSS can be a reason to show given triangles are congruent as it is shown that all the sides of one triangle is congruent to the other.
