Answer: No, x+3 is not a factor of 2x^2-2x-12
========================================================
Explanation:
Let p(x) = 2x^2 - 2x - 12
If we divide p(x) over (x-k), then the remainder is p(k). I'm using the remainder theorem. A special case of the remainder theorem is that if p(k) = 0, then x-k is a factor of p(x).
Compare x+3 = x-(-3) to x-k to find that k = -3.
Plug x = -3 into the function
p(x) = 2x^2 - 2x - 12
p(-3) = 2(-3)^2 - 2(-3) - 12
p(-3) = 12
We don't get 0 as a result so x+3 is not a factor of p(x) = 2x^2 - 2x - 12
----------------------------------------
Let's see what happens when we factor p(x)
2x^2 - 2x - 12
2(x^2 - x - 6)
2(x - 3)(x + 2)
The factors here are 2, x-3 and x+2
Answer:
8 in
Step-by-step explanation:
because 4 x 2 = 8 inches squared
Answer:
13.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Ryan is 5 feet tall, we will assume that the height of the cell-phone tower is x + 5.
Since the given is 54 degrees.
Tan 54degrees = x/80(feet)
x=80(tan54)
x=110
To finalize the answer, we will add up the height of the cell-phone tower to the answer.
110 + 5 = 115 feet
So the answer to the question is that the height of the cell-phone tower is 115 ft.
