Answer:

(a)

The distance from A to B to C equals 40 yards.

(b)

w is less than 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided states:

The distance from A to B is 15 yards.

Thus, AB is 15 yards.

The distance from B to C is 25 yards.

Therefore, BC is 25 yards.

(a)

The total distance from A to B to C is given by AB plus BC.

A to B to C = 15 + 25.

The total distance is 40 yards.

(b)

The direct distance from A to C (AC) must be shorter than the length of A to B to C.

AC is less than AB plus BC.

AC must be less than 15 + 25.

Thus, AC is less than 40 yards.

w is less than 40.

The perimeter of the norwegian flag is 190 inches. What are the dimensions of the flag?
zzz [12365]
<span>The flag's dimensions are 40 inches by 55 inches.

Reasoning<span>:
The perimeter equals the sum of all sides. Being rectangular, opposite sides have equal lengths. Thus, the equation is
y + 11/8 y + y + 11/8 y = 190.

Simplifying, we get
2y + 22/8 y = 190.

Expressing 22/8 as a mixed fraction results in
2y + 2 3/4 y = 190.

Combining terms: 4 3/4 y = 190.

Divide both sides by 4 3/4:
y = 190 ÷ 4 3/4.

Converting 4 3/4 to an improper fraction: y = 190 ÷ 19/4.

Dividing by a fraction means multiplying by its reciprocal:
y = 190 × 4/19 = 760/19 = 40.

Since y = 40, calculate 11/8 y = 11/8 × 40 = 440/8 = 55.</span></span>

Having no profit indicates that P(x)=0: x³-4x²+3x-12=0
factor this by regrouping: x²(x-4)+3(x-4)=0
extract (x-4): (x-4)(x²+3)=0
thus, x=4 or x²=-3
since x² cannot be negative, the only viable solution is x=4.

A quadratic function has a line of symmetry at x = –3.5 and a zero at –9. What is the distance from the given zero to the line o
Svet_ta [12734]

Given:

A quadratic function has a line of symmetry positioned at x = –3.5 with one root located at –9.

To find:

The second root.

Solution:

It is understood that the line of symmetry splits the quadratic function's graph into two identical halves. Hence, both roots are equidistant from this line.

This implies that the line of symmetry passes through the midpoint of the two roots.

Let the other root be denoted as x.

-3.5=\dfrac{(-9)+x}{2}

Multiply both sides by 2.

-7=-9+x

Add 9 to both sides.

-7+9=-9+x+9

2=x

Consequently, the other zero of the quadratic function is concluded to be 2.
