Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
x = 2 and 10
Discussion:
Approach 1:
20 = (-10)*(-2) and (-10) + (-2) = -12 the coefficients of the polynomial. Hence
x^2 -12x + 20 = ( x- 2) * ( x-10)
Approach 2:
From the quadratic formula ( a = 1, b = -12, c = 20)
x = ( -(-12) +\- sqrt( ((-12)^2 - 4*1*20) ) / (2 * 1)
= ( 12 +\- sqrt( 144-80) ) /2
= (12 +\- sqrt(64) ) /2
= (12 +\- 8 ) /2
x = ( 12 + 8) /2 = 20/2 = 10
or
x = ( 12 - 8)/ 2 = 4/2 = 2
Thank you,
MrB
Answer: whats your question?
Step-by-step explanation:
First off, 2/10 can be simplified. 2 divided by 2 is 1. So the numerator is 1. 10divided by 2 is 5. Denominator is 5. So right now your first fraction is 2/5. 2/5 divided by 1/2. First, you keep your first fraction. You switch the division sign to multiplication, and always do the reciprocal (flip it around) of the second fraction. So instead of 1/2, it would be 2/1. Then multiply. 2/5 x 2/1. 2x2 is 4, 5x1 is 5. 4- numerator/5-denominator. Your answer is 4/5.
Answer:38
Step-by-step explanation:
triangle=3*1=3
decagon=10*1=10
pentagon=5*5=25
3+10+25=38
12 minutes because it is three miles into for the train to go completely in and out (one mile for the nose to enter, on mile for the nose to exit and tail enter, and one mile for tail to exit). 3/15=x/60
