mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

We find half the measure of the central angle of the circle. Where the given shape is a semi-circle, then the inscribed angle is half of 180, therefore, 90 degrees and a right angle is proven. We show this as Angle BAC is a RA 360 is the measure of circle 360/2 = 180 the semi circle Angle BAC is 180/2 = 90 degree.

(x+2)(x-3)(x+5) is identical to x^(3)+ax^(2)-11x+b<br> Find the value of a and the value of b
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

a = 4 and b = - 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the left side and compare like terms on both sides, that is

(x + 2)(x - 3)(x + 5) ← expand the first pair of factors using FOIL

= (x² - x - 6)(x + 5) ← distribute

= x³ + 5x² - x² - 5x - 6x - 30 ← collect like terms

= x³ + 4x² - 11x - 30

Compare like terms with x³ +ax² - 11x + b

4x² and ax² ⇒ a = 4

+ b and - 30 ⇒ b = - 30
