Answer:
ΔLMN ~ ΔLFG; scale factor 7/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratios of side lengths, shortest to longest are ...
FG : GL : LF = 24 : 36 : 42 = 4 : 6 : 7 (reduced)
MN : NL : LM = 56 : 84 : 98 = 4 : 6 : 7 (reduced)
The side ratios are the same, so ΔLMN ~ ΔLFG. The scale factor is ...
MN/FG = 56/24 = 7/3
Answer:
Option (3)
Step-by-step explanation:
If binomial (x - 6) and trinomial (-2x² + x + 9) are the factors of a polynomial then their multiplication will be equal to the polynomial.
(x - 6)(-2x² + x + 9) = x(-2x² + x + 9) - 6(-2x² + x + 9)
= -2x³ + x² + 9x + 12x² - 6x - 54
= -2x³ + 13x² + 3x - 54
Therefore, Option (3) will be the correct option.
We can write this in math as x+y+z=104, x=y-6, and z=3y
Because we already know what x and z are in terms of y, we can substitute our values for x and z into the first equation. This now looks like (y-6) + y + (3y) = 104. Now we can simplify our equation to find our value for y.
y-6 + y + 3y = 104 simplifies to 5y - 6 = 104, then 5y=110, and finally y=22.
Now that we know our value for y we can find our values for x and z by substituting our value for y into the other two equations.
The second equation x = y-6 can be simplified as x = 22 - 6 and further simplified as x = 16.
The third equation z = 3y can be written as z = 3(22) or z = 66.
Our three numbers are 16, 22, and 66. Hope this helps you!
