The correct answer is 
A) x^2 - 6x + 9

In fact, this is a trinomial of the form ax^2-bx+c, whose solutions are given by
x_{1,2}=  \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac} }{2a}
Using this formula for the trinomial of the problem, we find:
x1,2=  \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{6^2-4\cdot 1\cdot 9}}{2} =3
<span>we see that this trinomial has two coincident solutions (x=3 with multiplicity 2). This means that it can be rewritten as a perfect square, in the following form: 
</span>(x-3)^2<span>

Answer:

a. x2 – 6x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this you just have to try and factorize the options and the result should be two exact binomials. Remember that the formula for perfect square trinomial is:

a^{2} +2ab+b^{2} =(a+b)(a+b)

So we only have to factorize x2-6x+9=

As you can see, a is equal to X, and b equals 3:

(x-3)(x-3)=x2-6x+9

SO this is a perfect square trinomial.

A waitress works 1.75 hours less in the afternoon than in the evening. If she works 5      1/8
gayaneshka [121]
Let x be the number of hours that the waitress works in the evening.

We know for our problem that she works 5 \frac{1}{8} in the afternoon and that she works <span>1.75 hours less in the afternoon than in the evening, so:
</span>x=5 \frac{1}{8} -1.75
<span>Since </span>\frac{1}{8} =0.125, we can rewrite our expression:
x=5.125-1.75
x=3.375

We can conclude that she works 3.375 hours in the evening, or expressed as a mixed fraction: 3 \frac{3}{8} hours.

Brody has his computer repaired at store A. His bill was:
PIT_PIT [208]

Initial repair cost = $1200

Gratuity = 15% of the initial repair cost

= 15% of 1200

=\frac{15}{100} (1200)

= 15 × 12

= 180

Hence, the gratuity for the service is $180.

Report Error Suppose $P(x)$ is a polynomial of smallest possible degree such that: $\bullet$ $P(x)$ has rational coefficients $\
motikmotik

Answer:

We want a polynomial of smallest degree with rational coefficients with zeros in \sqrt{7}, 1 - \sqrt{6} and -3. The last root gives us the factor (x+3). Hence, our polynomial is

P(x) =(x+3)q(x)

where q is a polynomial with rational coefficients and roots \sqrt{7} and 1 - \sqrt{6}. The root \sqrt{7} gives us a factor x-\sqrt{7}, but in order to obtain rational coefficients we must consider the factor x^2-7.

An analogue idea works with 1 - \sqrt{6}. For convenience write  x - 1 + \sqrt{6} = ( x - 1) + \sqrt{6}. This gives the factor (x-1)^2-6. Hence,

P(x) = (x+3)(x^2-7)((x-1)^2-6)=x^5+x^4-18x^3-22x^2+77x+105

Notice that P(-1)=24. So, in order to satisfy the last condition we divide by 3 the whole polynomial, without altering its roots. Finally, the wanted polynomial is

P(x) =(1/3)x^5+(1/3)x^4-6x^3-(22/3)x^2+(77/3)x+35

Step-by-step explanation:

We must have present that any polynomial it's determined by its roots up to a constant factor. But here we have irrational ones, in order to eliminate the irrational coefficients that a factor of the type x-\sqrt7 will introduce in the expression, we need to multiply by its conjugate x+\sqrt7. Hence, we will obtain x^2-7 that have rational coefficients. Finally, the last condition is given with the intention to fix the constant factor. Usually it is enough to evaluate in the point and obtain the necessary factor.
