$12 = \frac{1+a}{1-a} => 12(1-a)= 1+ a \\=> 12 -12a = 1 + a => 12a+1 = 12-1 \\=> 13a = 11 => a= \frac{11}{13}$

ok done. Thank to me :>

Which polynomial function has zeros at 2, −4, and 1?

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

y = (x - 2)(x + 4)(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the zeros of a function say x = a and x = b, then

The factors are (x - a) and (x - b) and

y = (x - a)(x - b)

Given the zeros are x = 2, x = - 4, x = 1, then

the factors are (x - 2), (x - (- 4)) and (x - 1), that is

(x - 2), (x + 4), (x - 1) , thus

y = (x - 2)(x + 4)(x - 1)

The ratio of the geometric mean and arithmetic mean of two numbers is 3:5, find the ratio of the smaller number to the larger nu

IgorC [24]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x,y, where x>y

The geometric mean is

$\sqrt{xy}$

The Arithmetic mean is

$\frac{x + y}{2}$

The ratio of the geometric mean and arithmetic mean of two numbers is 3:5.

$\frac{ \sqrt{xy} }{ \frac{x + y}{2} } = \frac{3}{5}$

We can write the equation;

$\sqrt{xy} = 3$

or

$xy = 9 - - - (2)$

l

and

$\frac{x + y}{2} = 5$

or

$x + y = 10 - - - (2)$

Make y the subject in equation 2

$y = 10 - x - - - (3)$

Put equation 3 in 1

$x(10 - x) = 9$

$10x - {x}^{2} = 9$

${x}^{2} - 10x + 9 = 0$

$(x - 9)(x - 1) = 0$

$x =1 \: or \: 9$

When x=1, y=10-1=9

When x=9, y=10-9=1

Therefore x=9, and y=1

The ratio of the smaller number to the larger number is

$\frac{1}{9}$
