The surface of a table to be built will be in the shape shown below. The distance from the center of the shape to the center of each side is in the picture below. Part A: Describe how you can decompose this shape into triangles (2 points) Part B: What would be the area of each triangle? (5 points) Part C: Using your answers above, determine the area of the table's surface (3 points)​

answer: 0

step-by-step explanation: the positive, like 5, + its opposite, like -5 would be 0

5+(-5)=0, or 5-5=0

8

step-by-step explanation:

1. when "a" is a root of a polynomial, (x -a) is a factor of it. for the three roots given, the factors of the desired polynomial are (x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3).

in order to make the leading coefficient be negative, we need to multiply this product by a negative number. any negative number will do, but we choose a small (magnitude) value that will eliminate the fraction: -2.

then

f(x) = -2(x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3) = -(x +2)(2x -1)(x -3)

= -(2x² +3x -2)(x -3)

= -(2x³ -3x² -11x +6)

f(x) = -2x³ +3x² +11x -6

2. a graph created by the desmos on-line graphing calculator is shown, and the zeros are highlighted.

3. as indicated in part 1, the multiplier of this equation can be anything and the zeros will remain the same. you want a negative leading coefficient, so the "anything" is restricted to any of the infinite number of numbers that will make that be the case.
