How to calculate the area of a sector</h3>

A sector is said to be a part of a circle made of the arc of the circle along with its two radii.

The formula for calculating the area of a sector is expressed as;

A = r²β/2

where

r is the radius of the circle

β is the angle subtended

Since the the hour hand travel during 5 hours, the subtended angle by the sector will be;

β = 360/5

β = 72 degrees

Given the following parameters

r = 16/2

r = 8in

Substitute into the formula

A = 8²(72π)/360
A = 40.192in

Therefore the hour hand travels 40.192in in 5 hours

What is the remainder when (3x4 + 2x3 − x2 + 2x − 19) ÷ (x + 2)? 0 5 10 15

Elanso [62]

Answer: Second option is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

$f(x)=3x^4+2x^3-x^2+2x-19$

And $g(x)=x+2$

To find the remainder, we use the Remainder Theorem, which states that when f(x) is divided by (x-c) then the f(c) is the required remainder.

So,

Here, we have,

$x+2=0\\\\x=-2$

So, we will find f(-2) which will give us the required remainder,

$f(-2)=3(-2)^4+2(-2)^3-(-2)^2+2(-2)-19\\\\f(-2)=(3\times 16)-(2\times 8)- 4-4-19\\\\f(-2)=48-16-36-4-19\\\\f(-2)=5$

Hence, Second option is correct.

Answer:

3^2 ; Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation 3^ -6 * ( 3^4 / 3^0 )^2, which can be solved through the application of exponential rules;

$3^{ - 6 } * ( 3^{ 4 } / 3^{ 0 } )^{2} - take 3^{ 0 } as 1,\\\\3^{ - 6 } * ( 3^{ 4 } / 1 )^{2} - take 3^{4} to power of 2, ( * of exponents ),\\\\3^{ - 6 } * ( 3^{ 8 } ) - combine powers, adding exponents,\\\\3^{ - 6 + 8 } - add like terms,\\\\3^{2} \\\\Solution; 3^{2}$

3^2 ; Option B
