Answer:
1. is b and 2. is c
Step-by-step explanation:
There are many polynomials that fit the bill,
f(x)=a(x-r1)(x-r2)(x-r3)(x-r4) where a is any real number not equal to zero.
A simple one is when a=1.
where r1,r2,r3,r4 are the roots of the 4th degree polynomial.
Also note that for a polynomial with *real* coefficients, complex roots *always* come in conjugages, i.e. in the form a±bi [±=+/-]
So a polynomial would be:
f(x)=(x-(-4-5i))(x-(-4+5i))(x--2)(x--2)
or, simplifying
f(x)=(x+4+5i)(x+4-5i)(x+2)^2
=x^4+12x^3+77x^2+196x+164 [if you decide to expand]
I think it is negatively skewed
First I am going to assume that these are both right triangles based off of look and because it is much easier. Without it you have to use law of sines or law of cosines...
So to find x you must first find y which can be done simply by using the pythagorean theorem. This theorem is defined as the sum of the squared legs is equal to the sum of the hypotenuse or x^2 + y^2 = z^2
If we substitute in the known values 16^2 + y^2 = 20^2 and solve for y we get that y = sqrt(20^2 - 16^2), this then simplifies to y = 12
Finding x is much more annoying, the easiest way I can immediately see is to find the upper angles by doing sin(16/20) and then 90 - sin(16/20) since the complementary angle is the one you want. I don't have a calculator or a trig table with me right now but I will tell you that x will be equal to 12 ÷ the inverse cosine of the angle (90degrees - sin(16/20)).
I am pretty sure the answer is D though because we know for sure y = 12 and x has to be greater than y because the hypotenuse must be larger than both legs. It could be E but you won't know unless you do the math for x. So it is either D or E but I would be surprised if a Professor made you do all of the work just to say it doesn't work...
<h2>Question 9:</h2>
1. Use Pythagorean Theorem (a²+b²=c²) to solve for missing side of triangle and rectangle. x²+16²=20², or x²+256=400. So, x²=144, and x=12
2. Use formula: 1/2(h)(b1+b2). 1/2 (12) (30+14).
3. Simplify: 1/2 (12) (44)=1/2(528)=264
Area of whole figure is 264 square mm.
<h2>Question 10:</h2>
Literally same thing but with trigonometry.
1. Use sine to find out length of dotted line: sin(60°)=x/12
2: Simplify: 12*sin(60°)=x. x≈10.4 (rounded to the nearest tenth)
3. Use Pythagorean Theorem to find out last leg of triangle: 10.4²+x²=12²
4: Simplify: 108.16 +x²=144. x²=35.84 ≈ 6
5: Use formula: 1/2(h)(b1+b2). 1/2 (10.4) (30+36)
6: Simplify: 1/2 (10.4) (66) =343.2
7: Area of figure is about 343.2
Remember, this is an approximate answer with rounding, so it might not be what your teacher wants. The best thing to do is do it yourself again.
