Explanation:
Factoring to linear factors generally involves finding the roots of the polynomial.
The two rules that are taught in Algebra courses for finding real roots of polynomials are ...
Descartes' rule of signs: the number of positive real roots is equal to the number of coefficient sign changes when the polynomial is written in standard form.Rational root theorem: possible rational roots will have a numerator magnitude that is a divisor of the constant, and a denominator magnitude that is a divisor of the leading coefficient when the coefficients of the polynomial are rational. (Trial and error will narrow the selection.)In general, it is a difficult problem to find irrational real factors, and even more difficult to find complex factors. The methods for finding complex factors are not generally taught in beginning Algebra courses, but may be taught in some numerical analysis courses.
Formulas exist for finding the roots of quadratic, cubic, and quartic polynomials. Above 2nd degree, they tend to be difficult to use, and may produce results that are less than easy to use. (The real roots of a cubic may be expressed in terms of cube roots of a complex number, for example.)
__
Personally, I find a graphing calculator to be exceptionally useful for finding real roots. A suitable calculator can find irrational roots to calculator precision, and can use that capability to find a pair of complex roots if there is only one such pair.
There are web apps that will find all roots of virtually any polynomial of interest.

Additional comment
Some algebra courses teach iterative methods for finding real zeros. These can include secant methods, bisection, and Newton's method iteration. There are anomalous cases that make use of these methods somewhat difficult, but they generally can work well if an approximate root value can be found.
Diagram 5 shows a triangle ABD such that AD = 17 cm, AB = 10 cm and BD = 21 cm. The straight line AC is perpendicular to the straight line BD and the value of area of triangle ABD is an integer. Calculate the length of AC, in cm. (4 marks)
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
100 = x^2 + AC^2
17^2 = AC^2 + (21 - x)^2
289 = AC^2 + 21^2 + x^2 - 2*21*x
289 = AC^2 + 441 + x^2 - 42x
from 1st equation AC^2 + x^2 = 100
289 = 441 + 100 - 42x
289 = 541 - 42x
42x = 541 - 289 = 252
x = 252/42 = 6
so AC^2 = 100 - 6^2 = 100 - 36 = 64
AC = 8
I really need help with this one it's due today!!
Answer:
-2/3
3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
So to have a line parallel the equation is: m1 = m2, meaning the slope (represented by m in this equation) is equal. So in the equation. 3y = - 2x + 4 you need to simplify the equation by dividing both sides by 3. Which would be like so: y = - 2/3x + 4/3, which the slope will be -2/3.
To be perpindicular you need the slope to be: m1 * m2 = - 1. So because we already know that the slope is -2/3, all we need to do is set up an equation: -2/3 * y = - 1
-2/3y = - 1
multiply both sides by 3/-2
y = 3/2

The price of a cinnamon roll is $2.00. The bakery has a sale, and all prices are 10% off. What is the sale price of the cinnamon roll
Answer: $1.80
Step-by-step explanation:
10% is 1/10. To find 1/10 of $2 we must divide it by the bottom of the fraction and times the top. 200 divided by 10 is 20 cents, times that by 1 is still 20 so, 10% = 20 cents. To find the sale price, we must subtract the discount from the original price. $2 - 20 cents is $1.80.

Translate the following phrase into an inequality:
"A number n minus 3.5 is less than or equal to 4."
PLEASE HELP I HAVE 6 MATH MISSING ASSIGNMENTS, I HATE HIGH SCHOOL
Answer:
The term "at least" means the lowest number you can have. In other words, you cannot have a number less than that point. So we use the greater than or equal symbol.
x - 3 ≥ - 5
Add 3 on both sides of the inequality.
x ≥ -2
x is any number greater than or equal to -2.
If the term was "at most", then that is the highest number you can have, and you can go no higher than that. In this case, we would have used the less than or equal to symbol.
These terms are important to understand when working with inequalities.
The value of the inequality form of the phrase "A number n minus 3.5 is less than or equal to 4." is (n - 3.5) ≤ 4 .
Used the concept of inequality that states,
A relation by which we can compare two or more mathematical expressions is called an inequality.
Given that;
The phrase is,
"A number n minus 3.5 is less than or equal to 4."
Now it can be written in inequality form as,
(n - 3.5) ≤ 4
Therefore, the inequality is,
(n - 3.5) ≤ 4

How does simple

Answer:
Ratios are proportional if they represent the same relationship. One way to see if two ratios are proportional is to write them as fractions and then reduce them. If the reduced fractions are the same, your ratios are proportional.
Step-by-step explanation:
Im confused on this. Michael has some coins in his pocket consisting of dimes, nickels, and pennies. He has two more nickels than dimes, and three times as many pennies as nickels. How many of each kind of coin does he have if the total value is $0.52?
Answer:
Using a system of equations, it is found that he has 2 dimes, 5 nickels and 12 pennies.
In the system of equations, I am going to say that:
x is the number of dimes.
y is the number of nickels.
z is the number of pennies.
---------------------
Two more nickels than dimes, thus:
Three times as many pennies as nickels, thus:
---------------------
A dime is worth $0.1, a nickel is worth $0.05, and a penny is worth $0.01. Total of $0.52, thus:
Solving for x:
---------------------
Solving for y and z:
He has 2 dimes, 5 nickels and 12 pennies.

Answer:
x=79 degrees y=22degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
you see it has 2 equal sides, so the triangle is an isosceles triangle. If the triangle is isosceles, then its 2 base angles are equal, that is, x = 79 according to the triangle property, the 3 angles add up to 180 degrees, so you take 180 degrees minus 2 * 79 degrees you get a y angle equal to 22 degrees

#7= D
#9= C
#10= A
Step-by-step explanation:
[First one, aka #8] c
- subtract 7x from both sides
- divide by 5
- slope is m is y = mx + b
[Second one, aka #7] is d
- subtract 2x from both sides
- divide by 5
- find the negative reciprocal
[Third one, aka #6] is c
- will have a slope of 2 since it is parallel
- plug the point into y = 2x + b and solve for b
[Fourth one, aka #9] is a
- change in d over change in c
- 29 - 20 / 6 - 0 = 9/6 = 3/2
[Fifth one, aka #10] is b

the denominator only
Answer:
6/51/33/1013/549/201/15Step-by-step explanation:
You cannot subtract JUST a denominator. The subtraction sign is lower down because of the odd printing just like the equal signs.
1. The first thing you have to do is change this from a mixed fraction into an improper fraction in order to subtract. This becomes:
12/5 -6/5 (This is done by multiplying the large number by the denominator and adding it to the exsisiting numerator)12-6=6 therefore the answer is 6/52. This one requires you to multiply your denominator so that it is the same for both fractions. The least common denominator (LCD) for these fractions is 12
7/12-1/4(3) (Because 3x4 is 12 which is the LCD)7/12-3/12 = 4/12 (this can be simplified)1/33. This is fairly straight-forward the denominators already match so just subtract the numerators
6/10-3/10= 3/104. Because we have a full number we must make it into a fraction in order to subtract it and also turn the mixed fraction into an improper fraction
We'll start with the mixed because we've done that before multiplying 4 by 5. Add to that 20 the 2 from the original fraction to get 22/ 5For the full number use the denominator of the number to determine the fraction. Multiply the full number by the denominator (5) to get 35 and place a 5 underneath and call it a day.Therefore: 35/5-22/5=13/55. This problem requires multiple steps the first would be to make improper fractions then get a LCD and then of course subtract.
(6x8)+2=48+2=50 --> 50/8(5x3)+4=15+4=19 --> 19/5LCD 5:5,15,20,25,30,40 & LCD 8: 8,16,24,32,40 LCD=40(50/8)x5-(19/5)x8 = 250/40-152/40 = 98/40 This can be simplified49/206. For this we will use another LCD.
LCD 3: 3,6,9,12,15 LCD 5: 5,10,15 LCD=15(2/3)x5-(3/5)x3 = 10/15-9/15 = 1/15HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED

The area of the pilgrims cornfield is 6,396 square feet. The width of the cornfield is 52 feed. What is the length of the cornfield? Show your work
Based on the area of the field and the width as well, the length is most likely 123 feet.
The area of the cornfield is calculated as:
= Length x Width
You have the width so you can substitute it in the equation to find the length:
6,396 = Length x 52
Solving would give:
Length = 6,396 / 52
= 123 feet
In conclusion, the length is 123 feet.
