Answer:
x = 10 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratios of corresponding sides are the same, so we have ...
x/8 = 8/6
x = 8·(8/6) = 64/6
x = 10 2/3
If you talk of a scatter plot, regularly the x-axis is used to plot the explanatory variable, this is the possible cause; while the y-axis is used to plot the varibale that is being explained, the result, the efffect.
If you are dealing with a function or model, you the convention is to use the x-axis for the independent variable, this is the input, while the y-axis is for the output or dependent varibale (which is determined by the independent variable).
To create a perfect square trinomial, halve the x coefficient, square it, and then add that value.
In the case of x² + 6x, we would have 6 to get 3, then square 3 to get 9.
We would add 9 to make a perfect square trinomial.
<u>
</u><u>Why this works</u>
A perfect square trinomial is designed to factor to some value (x+n)².
When you FOIL this you get x² + 2nx + n².
As you can see, if you wanted to find the value of that n², you could take that x coefficient 2n, halve it to get n, and then square it to get n²!
Answer:
<u>f(x) = = (x + √2 i) (x - √2 i) (x - 2 ) (x + 1)</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
The given function is f(x) = x⁴ - x³ -2x -4
factor the polynomial function
f(x) = x⁴ - x³ -2x -4 = (x⁴ - 4) - (x³ + 2x ) ⇒ take (-) as a common from (- x³ -2x)
= (x² + 2 ) (x² - 2) - x (x² + 2) ⇒ take (x² + 2) as a common
= (x² + 2 ) ( x² - x - 2)
= (x + √2 i) (x - √2 i) (x -2 ) ( x+1)
Notes: (x⁴ - 4) = (x² + 2 ) (x² - 2)
(x² + 2)= (x + √2 i) (x - √2 i)
( x² - x - 2) = (x -2 ) ( x+1)
d1 = 51(t)
d2 = 71(8 - t)
d1 + d2 = 508
and now you just have to solve for t.
