The Factor Theorem says (x - a) is a factor of function p(x) if p(a)=0

so check for p(-2)

= -2^4 +3(-2)^3 + 4(-2)^2 - 8

= 16 - 24 +16 -8

= 0

so (x + 2) is a factor

A regular hexagonal prism has a height of 12 cm and base edge length of 10 cm. Identify its lateral area and surface area rounde
kolbaska11 [484]
To find the l.a., you multiply the perimeter of the base (the hexagon) by the height. 
l.a. = 60 x 12

surface area is harder :(
you have to find the apothem and all that jazz. sorry i can't help more, good luck!

Plz prove this for me.....

I've answered your other question as well.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the identity is true whether the angle x is measured in degrees, radians, gradians (indeed, anything else you care to concoct), I’ll omit the ‘degrees’ sign.

Using the binomial theorem, (a+b)3=a3+3a2b+3ab2+b3

⇒a3+b3=(a+b)3−3a2b−3ab2=(a+b)3−3(a+b)ab

Substituting a=sin2(x) and b=cos2(x), we have:

sin6(x)+cos6(x)=(sin2(x)+cos2(x))3−3(sin2(x)+cos2(x))sin2(x)cos2(x)

Using the trigonometric identity cos2(x)+sin2(x)=1, your expression simplifies to:

sin6(x)+cos6(x)=1−3sin2(x)cos2(x)

From the double angle formula for the sine function, sin(2x)=2sin(x)cos(x)⇒sin(x)cos(x)=0.5sin(2x)

Meaning the expression can be rewritten as:

sin6(x)+cos6(x)=1−0.75sin2(2x)=1−34sin2(2x)
