Let's see if that's really true! :)
170=x(17)
170=17x
17x=170
17x / 17=170 / 17
x=10
So the answer to your question is false.
170 is actually 10/1 OR 10 of 17.
Answer:
a = (4/3)b
Step-by-step explanation:
The governing equation here has the form y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.
Let's rewrite that as a = kb, and then substitute -4 for a and -3 for b:
-4 = k(-3), or k = 4/3
Then a = (4/3)b
Answer: Choice B
(x-1)(x^3+x^2+5x+6)
==========================================
Explanation:
The 1 in the upper left box means that x = 1 is a root of the original polynomial.
So this means x-1 is a factor of the original polynomial.
This is because x = 1 leads to x-1 = 0 after subtracting 1 from both sides.
-----------------
The 0 in the last position of the bottom row shows we got a remainder of 0.
Getting a remainder 0 tells us that (x-1) is a factor of the polynomial. This synthetic division table confirms our initial guess.
The other values in that bottom row (1, 1, 5, 6) form coefficients to the polynomial 1x^3+1x^2+5x+6, or simply x^3+x^2+5x+6
-------------------
So we know that (x-1) and (x^3+x^2+5x+6) are factors
Meaning that,
x^4+4x^2+x-6 = (x-1)(x^3+x^2+5x+6)
You can confirm this by expanding out the right hand side (distribution rule).
The length of one side is 60 centimeters
