By Vieta’s formula, the sum of the roots equals the coefficient 14.
Subtract 6 from both sides and divide by 5: x = (26-6)/5 = 4.
Percentage=(7/22)×100=31.82.

Use the circle-area formula A = πr². Substituting r = 4 gives A = π × 4² = 16π.
Rewrite the value using base 4: 256 = 4^4. Matching exponents gives x = 4.
The dot product is 3×4+4×3=24.
An antiderivative is 3/2 x²+3x. At x=4, the value is 36.0.
f′(x)=9x²+8x. Substituting x=3 gives 105.
The coordinate differences are 3 and 4, so the distance is √(3²+4²)=5.
