So, n = 3, is a 3rd degree polynomial, roots are -2 and 2i

well 2i is a complex root, or imaginary, and complex root never come all by their lonesome, their sister is always with them, the conjugate, so if 0+2i is there, 0-2i is there too

so, the roots are -2, 2i, -2i

now... \bf \begin{cases}
x=-2\implies x+2=0\implies &(x+2)=0\\
x=2i\implies x-2i=0\implies &(x-2i)=0\\
x=-2i\implies x+2i=0\implies &(x+2i)=0
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
(x+2)\underline{(x-2i)(x+2i)}=0\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\textit{difference of squares}
\\ \quad \\
(a-b)(a+b) = a^2-b^2\qquad \qquad 
a^2-b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
(x+2)[x^2-(2i)^2]=0\implies (x+2)[x^2-(2^2i^2)]=0
\\\\\\
(x+2)[x^2-(4\cdot -1)]=0\implies (x+2)(x^2+4)=0
\\\\\\
x^3+2x^2+4x+8=0

now, if we check f(-1), we end up with 5, not 15
hmmm

so, how to turn our 5 to 15? well, 3*5, thus

\bf 3(x^3+2x^2+4x+8)=f(x)\implies 3(5)=f(-1)\implies 15=f(-1)

usually, when we get the roots, or zeros, if any common factor that is a constant is about, they get in a division with 0 and get tossed, and aren't part of the roots, thus, we can simply add one, in this case, the common factor of 3, to make the 5 turn to 15

What are the ratios for sin A and cos A? The triangle is not drawn to scale.
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

SinA = \frac{84}{85}  and  CosA=\frac{13}{85}

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratios of sine and cos are defined as follows:

Sin A = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse} , and

CosA = \frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse}

The hypotenuse is always the side opposite of the 90 degree angle (for the given triangle, the hypotenuse is 85)

Since we are looking at the angle A, the opposite side with respect to A would be the side length of 84. That leaves the side 13 as the adjacent side.

Thus, we can now write:

Sin A = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}\\SinA = \frac{84}{85}

CosA = \frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse}\\CosA=\frac{13}{85}

The correct answer is  the first answer choice.
