According to the synthetic division below which of the following statements are true check all that apply

The true statements are A , B , E

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- In the synthetic calculation we use the coefficient of the dividend

  with the factors of the function

∴ 2 , -2 , -12 are the coefficient of the dividend 2x² - 2x - 12

∵ The divisor is 3

∴ x = 3 is a root of F(x) = 2x² - 2x - 12

∵ x = 3 is the root of F(x) = 2x² - 2x - 12

- Subtract the two sides by 3

∴ x - 3 = 0

∴ (x - 3) is a factor of the dividend F(x) = 2x² - 2x - 12

- The quotient is the last line of the synthetic division

∴ The coefficients of quotient are 2 , 4

- The quotient is 1 degree less than the dividend

∵ The degree of the dividend is 2

∴ The degree of the quotient is 1

∴ The quotient is 2x + 4

* Lets check the answers to chose the write statements

A. The number 3 is a root of F(x) = 2x² - 2x - 12 ⇒ true

B. (x - 3) is a factor of 2x² - 2x - 12 ⇒ true

E. (2x² - 2x - 12) ÷ (x - 3) = 2x + 4 ⇒ true

* The true statements are A , B , E

tell you what. i'll find the length of the medians and you can fill in the blanks where they belong.

br

b = (2a,0)

r = (a/2,b/2) remember these things are medians. they go to the 1/2 way point of the line opposite the vertex they face.

br^2 =   (2a - a/2)^2 + (0 - b/2)^2

br^2 = (3/2 a) ^2 + b^2 / 4

br^2 = 9/4 a^2 + b^2 / 4   we need to find some relationship between a and b.

let's try ab = bc  

ab = 2a

bc = (2a - a)^2 + (b - 0)^2

bc = sqrt(a^2 + b^2)

ab = bc

2a = sqrt(a^2 + b^2) square both sides.

4a^2 = a^2 + b^2 subtract a^2 from both sides.

sqrt(3a^2) = sqrt(b^2)

sqrt(3)a = b

let's put b into br^2

br^2 = 9/4 a^2 + 3b^2 / 4

br^2 = 12 a^2 / 4

br^2 = 3a^2 

br = sqrt(3) * a

cp

c = (a,b) ; p = (a,0) this is another application of the distance formula, and it is a good one.

cp^2 = (a - a)^2 + (b - 0)^2

cp^2 = 0 + b^2

cp^2 = b^2 which you can see from the diagram. 

cp = sqrt(b^2)

cp = b but b = sqrt(3) * a 

cp = sqrt(3)*a

aq

a = (0,0)

q = (3/2) a, b/2

aq^2 = (3a/2 -0)^2 + (b/2 - 0)^2

aq^2 = 9a^2/4 + b^2/4

but b = sqrt(3) * a 

aq^2 = 9a^2 / 4 + (sqrt(3)*a)^2 /4

aq^2 = 9 a^2/ 4 + 3 a^2 / 4

aq^2 = 12 a^2/4

aq^2 = 3 a^2

aq = (sqrt  3) * a which agrees with the other two.
