Answer:
i literally just finished watching it lol
I see. Imagine you have f(x)=|x|. It's a V shaped graph.
Now if f(x)=|x|, 2f(x)=2|x|.
Graph Transformation Rule:
af(x), multiply y-coordinates by a.
*Ultimately, you'd still have a V shaped graph in 2f(x)=2|x|, but the y values of all the coordinates in f(x)=|x| would have to be multiplied by 2 giving you 2f(x)=2|x|.
Well the area of a trapezoid is defined by the following formula:
A =

where b₁ and b₂ are the bases of the trapezoid and h is the height of the trapezoid.
Let's plug in what we know into this formula:
h = 7 the perpendicular distance between the two bases
b₁ = 15 the shorter parallel side
b₂ = 25 the longer parallel side made up of 4 + 15 + 6
so, A =

This is in square units of measure of course, so 140 in²
The general form of a polynomial is: x² + bx + c = 0. Substituting the roots,
3² + b(3) + c = 0
3b + c = -9 --> eqn 1
(5 + √5)² + (5 +√5)(b) + c = 0
(5+√5)b + c = -30-10√5 --> eqn 2
Solving both equations simultaneously by subtracting eqn 2 from eqn 1,
(-2 - √5)b = 21 + 10√5
b = -8 - √5
Using eqn 1,
3(-8 - √5) + c = -9
-24 - 3√5 + c = -9
c = -9 + 24 + 3√5
c = 15 + 3√5
Hence, the polynomial is: <em>f(x) = x² + (-8 - √5)x + (15 + 3√5)</em>.
