Answer:
68° and 112°
Step-by-step explanation:
Supplementary angles sum to 180°
let the smaller angle be x then the larger angle is x + 44 , then
x + x + 44 = 180 , that is
2x + 44 = 180 ( subtract 44 from both sides )
2x = 136 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 68
Smaller angle = 68° and
larger angle = x + 44 = 68 + 44 = 112°
1) When the denominator equals zero that is a critical point
=> x - 2 = 0 => x = 2.
So x = 2 is a critical point
2) Simplify the numerator to find an expresion of the king p(x) ≥ 0 or p(x) ≤ 0. Where p(x) equals zero you have other(s) critical point(s)
Multiply both terms:
[2x + 5] / [ x - 2] = [x - 1] / [x - 2]
for x ≠ 2 => 2x + 5 = x - 1
=> 2x - x = - 1 - 5
=> x = - 6
Then, the two critical points are x = 2 and x = - 6.
Answer: option B.
