The answer to the question can be found by setting up a proportion such as 7/14.4=x/24.6 which gives you 11.9583 ft
Answer:
a) 
b) 
c) 
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>For the question a *</u> you need to find a polynomial of degree 3 with zeros in -3, 1 and 4.
This means that the polynomial P(x) must be zero when x = -3, x = 1 and x = 4.
Then write the polynomial in factored form.
Note that this polynomial has degree 3 and is zero at x = -3, x = 1 and x = 4.
<u>For question b, do the same procedure</u>.
Degree: 3
Zeros: -5/2, 4/5, 6.
The factors are
---------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
<u>Finally for the question c we have</u>
Degree: 5
Zeros: -3, 1, 4, -1
Multiplicity 2 in -1
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
answers B and D are clearly wrong and if u do some simple thinking you can determine the answer is C...
Have a fantabulous day! :)
2. 8x -28 = -140
8x -28 + 28 = -140 + 28
8x = -112
8x/8 = -112/8
x = -14
3. -9 + x/3 = -23
-9 + 9 + x/3 = -23 + 9
x/3 = -14
x/3/3 = -14/3
x = -14/3
4. x/-1.5 - 3.5 = -13.5
x/-1.5 - 3.5 + 3.5 = -13.5 + 3.5

-6x/-6 = -18/-6
x = 3
6. k + 3.7/9.8 = -0.22
k + 3.7/9.8/9.8 = -0.22/9.8
k + 3.7 = -2.156
k + 3.7 - 3.7 = -2.156 - 3.7
k = -5.856
7. 12(x - 6) = -108
12x - 72 = -108
12x - 72 + 72 = -108 + 72
12x = -36
12x/12 = -36/12
x = -3
8. -21.83x - -19.9 = -23.83
-21.83x + 19.9 = -23.83
-21.83x + 19.9 - 19.9 = -23.83 - 19.9
-21.83x = -43.73
-21.83x/-21.83 = -43.73/-21.83
x = 2
9. -10x - 68 + x = 40
-9x - 68 = 40
-9x -68 + 68 = 40 + 68
-9x = 108
-9x/-9 = 108/-9
x = -12
10. -34 - 3x - 2x = 71
-34 - 5x = 71
-34 + 34 - 5x = 71 + 34
-5x = 105
-5x/-5 = 105/-5
x = -21
11. 3x - 77 - 8x = 23
-5x - 77 = 23
-5x - 77 + 77 = 23 + 77
-5x = 100
-5x/-5 = 100/-5
x = -20
12. 3x - 5(2x - 12) = 123
3x - 10x + 60 = 123
-7x + 60 = 123
-7x + 60 - 60 = 123 - 60
-7x = 63
-7x/-7 = 63/-7
x = -9
13. -3x + 6(x + 6) = 15
-3x + 6x + 36 = 15
3x + 36 = 15
3x + 36 - 36 = 15 - 36
3x = -21
3x /3 = -21/3
x = -7
14. 5x + 2(4x - 9) = -174
5x + 8x - 18 = -174
13x - 18 = -174
13x - 18 + 18 = -174 + 18
13x = -156
13x/13 = -156/13
x = -12
15. -3x + 6(5x + 3) = -171
-3x + 30x + 18 = -171
27x + 18 = -171
27x + 18 - 18 = -171 - 18
27x = -189
27x/27 = -189/27
x = -7
