By Vieta’s formula, the sum of the roots equals the coefficient 17.
Subtract 10 from both sides and divide by 2: x = (26-10)/2 = 8.
Percentage=(11/26)×100=42.31.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Use the circle-area formula A = πr². Substituting r = 8 gives A = π × 8² = 64π.
Rewrite the value using base 4: 256 = 4^4. Matching exponents gives x = 4.
The dot product is 3×2+3×1=9.
An antiderivative is 3/2 x²+2x. At x=4, the value is 32.0.
f′(x)=6x²+16x. Substituting x=3 gives 102.
The coordinate differences are 3 and 4, so the distance is √(3²+4²)=5.

The sum is n(n+1)/2=55, so the mean is 55/10.
aₙ=a₁+(n−1)d=8+(11−1)×1=18.
