The maximum number of real roots is 5 because the degree is 5. The fundamental theorem of algebra states that the degree of a polynomial is the number of real solutions. (The degree is the highest exponent of the polynomial)
We know that
In any quadrilateral where the vertices are on the circumference of a circle, the opposite angles add up to
degrees.
So,
in this problem
therefore
the answer is
We need to use the variables m and n to represent both numbers.
Their sum must equal -15. Therefore, we can write the next equation:
m + n = -15
If one number is five less than the other, we need to choose one variable and then we can write it in terms of the other variable. Then:
n = m-5
To find the value for each number, we can replace the n equation on the first equation:
m + n = -15
m + (m-5)= -15
Then:
m + m - 5 = -15
2m -5 = -15
Solve the equation for m:
Add both sides 5 units:
2m - 5 +5 = -15+5
2m = -10
Divide both sides by 2:
2m/2 = -10/2
m = -5
Finally, replace the m value on the first equation:
m + n = -15
-5 + n = -15
Then, solve the equation for n:
Add both sides by 5:
-5+5 + n = -15 +5
n = -10
Hence, both numbers are m=-5 and n= -10.
The equations separated by a comma are m + n = -15,n = m-5.
The numbers separated by a comma are -5,-10.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=12
x-y=18
Now eliminate the y by adding the two equations together to get
2x=30
x=15
then solve for y.
15+y=12
15-y=18
y= -3
Answer:
C is the closest.,
Step-by-step explanation:
I am assuming that the 2 trapezoids CBEF and EFDA are similar (they are similar if the 3 horizontal lines are parallel).
Corresponding sides are in the same ratio , so:
3.4 / EF = EF / 7.6
EF^2 = 3.4 * 7.6 = 25.84
EF = 5.08
