if (x + q) is a factor of two polynomials x2 + px + q and x2 + mx + n, then prove that a = n-q m-p​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

factor polynomial is x+q so x=-q

putting the value of x in both equations

eqn 1)a^2+p(-a)+q=0

a^2 -ap+q=0

eqn 2)a^2+m(-a)+n=0

a^2-am+n=0

Since both are equal to zero,we can write:

a^2-ap+q=a^2-am+n

-ap+am=n-q

a(-p+m)=n-q

a=(n-q)/(m-p)

Answer 2

Explanation:

Since (x + a) is a factor of the two polynomials, when x = -a, the polynomials should both equal 0 (this is known as the factor theorem).

First equation:

[tex]x^{2} + px + q[/tex]

When x = -a:

[tex](-a)^{2} + p(-a) + q = 0\\\\a^{2} -pa + q = 0[/tex]

Second equation:

[tex]x^{2} + mx + n[/tex]

When x = -a:

[tex](-a)^{2} + m(-a) + n = 0\\\\a^{2} -ma + n = 0[/tex]

• As both equations equal 0, we can equate them:

[tex]a^{2} -pa + q = a^{2} -ma + n \\\\-pa + ma = n - q\\\\a(m - p) =n -q\\\\a = (n - q)/ (m - n)[/tex][proven]

Give your answer to the nearest degree.

Not drawn accurately

Answers

Answer:

  213°

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the angle measured at the lighthouse between North and the Boat. The lengths given in the problem statement are the lengths of the side opposite that angle, and the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle shown. The trig function that relates the angle and those sides is ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Application

The sine of the angle at the lighthouse is ...

  sin(bearing to boat) = (13.5 km)/(24.6 km) = 45/82

The value of the angle is found using the inverse sine function, called the arcsine function:

  bearing to boat = arcsin(45/82) ≈ 33°

Reverse bearing

The bearing from the boat to the lighthouse is in the opposite direction. It can be found by adding 180° to this angle:

  bearing to lighthouse = 33° +180° = 213°

Additional comment

The attached image shows a calculator making this calculation. Note that the angle mode is set to DEG (lower left corner). The arcsine function is usually found as the 2nd function of the Sin key.

Perpendicular bisector: put the following steps in order using what you know about constructing a perpendicular bisector.

Answers

In order to draw a perpendicular bisector you must have ruler , compass and a pencil.

Given nothing and we have to show the steps to draw a perpendicular bisector.

Perpendicular bisector is the line which divides the line into two equal parts and makes 90° angle on other line.

If we want to make a perpendicular bisector on a line then we have to follow the following steps:

1) First draw a line with the help of ruler on which we want to make perpendicular bisector.

2) Now take a compass and a pencil.

3) Put the pencil in the compass and strech the compass equal to half or little more of the length of the line.

4) Now put the compass on one end of the line and draw an arc on the line or may be just upward.

5) Now repeat the step 4 from other end.

6) Now draw a line from the point where two arcs intersects on the line.

7) It is the perpendicular bisector of the line.

Hence to draw a perpendicular bisector we require compass, ruler and a pencil.

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

So whenever you're finding the difference between two numbers you generally use the equation: |a-b| since a-b may or may not be negative, but |a-b| will always equal |b-a|. Since the only thing that differs is the sign. So when you have: [tex]|-\frac{2}{3}-\frac{5}{3}|[/tex], in this case a=-2/3 and b=5/3 (b is positive since you're subtracting b, so if b appeared positive in the equation, it's actually negative, since the negative sign in |a-b|, which would make the two negatives cancel out). This means A is the correct answer. You could also calculate what the value is. Calculating gives you: [tex]|-\frac{7}{3}| = \frac{7}{3}[/tex].

Call-More: C = 0.40t + 25

a) Which company is cheaper if a customer talks for 50 minutes?


b) Under what conditions do the two companies charge the same?

Answers

Answer:

a) Call-more is cheaper

b) 60 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Call-More: C = 0.40t + 25

Talk-Now:  C = 0.15t + 40

a) Substitute t =  50 minutes in the above equations.

Call-More:

         C = 0.40*50 + 25

            = 20 + 25

        C = 45

 Talk-Now:

          C = 0.15*50 + 40

              = 7.5 + 40

          C  = 47.40

Company Call-more is cheaper than Talk-now.

b) We have to find the conditions under what condition the two companies charge the same.

    Charge of company Call-more = charge of company Talk-now.

                  0.40t + 25 = 0.15t + 40

                            0.40t = 0.15t + 40 -25

                            0.40t = 0.15t + 15

                 0.40t - 0.15t = 15

                             0.25t = 15

                                     [tex]\sf t = \dfrac{15}{0.25}\\\\ t = \dfrac{15*100}{25}\\\\[/tex]

Determine the vertex of the quadratic relation y=2(x+2)(x-6).

Answers

The vertex is (2,-32)

Answer:

vertex = (2, - 32 )

Step-by-step explanation:

given a quadratic function in standard form

y = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 ) , then the x- coordinate of the vertex is

x = - [tex]\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

given

y = 2(x + 2)(x - 6) ← expand factors using FOIL

   = 2(x² - 4x - 12 ) ← distribute parenthesis

y   = 2x² - 8x - 24 ← in standard form

with a = 2, b = - 8 , then

x = - [tex]\frac{-8}{4}[/tex] = 2

substitute x = 2 into the function for corresponding y- coordinate

y = 2(2 + 2)(2 - 6) = 2(4)(- 4) = 8 × - 4 = - 32

Answers

The area of the space under the slide is 2.10 square meters

The vertical distance

The diagram in the question is added as an attachment

The vertical distance is represented by h.

So, we have:

sin(70) = h/2

Solve for h

h = 2 * sin(70)

Evaluate

h = 1.88 m

Hence, the vertical distance is 1.88 m

The length of the slide

This is calculated using

sin(40) = h/Slide

This gives

sin(40) = 1.88/Slide

Solve for Slide

Slide = 1.88/sin(40)

Evaluate

Slide = 2.92

Hence, the length of the slide is 2.92 m

The area of the space under the slide

This is calculated using:

A = 0.5 * h * slide * sin(∅)

Where

∅ = 90 - 40 = 50

So, we have:

A = 0.5 * 1.88 * 2.92 * sin(50)

Evaluate

A = 2.10

Hence, the area of the space under the slide is 2.10 square meters

A baseball player makes 4 hits every 7 times at bat. At this rate, how many times did you hit if you hit 24 hits? 42 times 96 times 168 times 24 times

Answers

Answer:

42 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

4 hits = 7 times

1 hits= 7/4 times

24 hits = 7/4 × 24

= 42 times.

The number of times that the baseball player makes the hit if he hit 24 hits is 42 times, which is an option (a).

Given that:

A baseball player makes 4 hits every 7 times at bat.

It is required to find the number of times that the player hits if he hit 24 hits.

Number of times that 4 hits are made = 7

Number of times that 1 hit is made = 7/4

So, the number of times that 24 hits are made can be found by the following formula.

Using the proportional concept, the number of times, N, is:

[tex]N=\frac{7}{4} \times 24[/tex]
