Answer:

x² + 2x + (3 / (x − 1))

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by setting up the division:

.........____________

x − 1 | x³ + x² − 2x + 3

Start with the first term, x³. Divided by x, that's x². So:

.........____x²______

x − 1 | x³ + x² − 2x + 3

Multiply x − 1 by x², subtract the result, and drop down the next term:

.........____x²______

x − 1 | x³ + x² − 2x + 3

.........-(x³ − x²)

...........----------

...................2x² − 2x

Repeat the process over again. First term is 2x². Divided by x is 2x. So:

.........____x² + 2x __

x − 1 | x³ + x² − 2x + 3

.........-(x³ − x²)

...........----------

...................2x² − 2x

Multiply, subtract the result, and drop down the next term:

.........____x² + 2x __

x − 1 | x³ + x² − 2x + 3

.........-(x³ − x²)

...........----------

...................2x² − 2x

.................-(2x² − 2x)

.................---------------

.....................................3

x doesn't divide into 3, so that's the remainder.

Therefore, the answer is:

x² + 2x + (3 / (x − 1))

Use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for x.<br><br> HELP ME PLZZZZ!!!! ASAP

4vir4ik [10]

Answer: $2\sqrt{22}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem: $a^{2} +b^{2} = c^{2}$ , where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.

We can solve for x by only using the left side of the triangle. Since we're only using the left side of the triangle, we can reduce 18 by 2 to get 9. Now we plug in our information to the equation.

$9^{2} +b^{2} = 13^{2}$

$81 +b^{2} = 169$

Since we don't know what $b^{2}$ is, we're going to isolate it by subtracting 81 on both sides

$b^{2} = 88$

We have to square root both sides in order to find out b (or x in the problem).

$\sqrt{b^{2}} = \sqrt{88}$

When you put this on a calculator it would result in $2\sqrt{22}$ which is the answer d in the problem.

A school principal has to choose randomly among the six best students in each grade to be the school captain every month. For th

Viefleur [7K]

Since there are 6 students out of which one needs to be selected, the principal chose two die on which there are six numbers each numbered from 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Since there are two dice, the total possible outcome is 36.

Hence, the probability of getting one number each is 1/36

Hence, the principal used a fair method because each result is an equally likely possible outcome.

Option B is correct.

Write the equation of a line in slope intercept form of a line that has a slope of 1/2 and contains (-4,1)

Delicious77 [7]

The general form of the line is:
y = mx + c where:
m is the slope
c is the y-intercept

Now, we are given that the slope = 1/2.
The equation now became:
y = (1/2) x + c

Now, we need to get the y-intercept. We are given that (-4 ,1) belongs to the line. Therefore, this point satisfies the equation of the line. Based on this, we will substitute with this point in the equation above and solve for c as follows:
y = (1/2) x + c
1 = (1/2)(-4) + c
1 = -2 + c
c = 1+2
c = 3

Based on the above, the equation of the line is:
y = (1/2) x + 3

Is the angles 40,30,110 acute obtuse or right

ikadub [295]

40 is an acute angle.
30 is an acute angel.
110 is an obtuse angle.

The easiest way to remember is anything below 90° (which is a right angle) is acute (think, cute = small). Anything above 180° is obtuse.
