Given

$4x^2+2x-5$

Divide it by (x+1) using synthetic division, as shown below

The green line is a minus sign.

Thus,

$\Rightarrow4x^2+2x-5=(x+1)(4x-2)-3$

Therefore, since the remainder is different than zero, (x+1) is not a factor of 4x^2+2x-5

The weight of meteorite A is 5 times the weight of meteorite B. If the sum of their weights is 126 tons, find the weight of each

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if you divide 126 by 5, you get Meteorite B, 25.2, then minus that from 132, and you get Meteorite A, 106.8

To check, do 25.2 x 5 and you should get 132.

In the above figure (not drawn to scale), Find ∠AEC.

n200080 [17]

Answer:

C. 75°

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a circle and we are asked to find the measure of angle AEC.

We will use Intersecting chords theorem to find the measure of angle AEC, which states that measure of angle formed inside a circle by two intersecting chords is one half the sum of the measure of the arcs intercepted by the angle and its vertical angle.

We can see that measure of arc AC is 110 degrees and measure of its vertical arc BD is 40 degrees.

$m\angle AEC=\frac{110^o+40^o}{2}$
