The trial and error method is used to find an initial factor:
If we let f(x) = x³ - x² - 24x - 36 and all we have to do is sub' in values of x until
f(x) = 0, we can use this to find an initial factor by the factor theorem:
f(1) = (1)³ - (1)² - 24(1) - 36 = -60
f(2) = (2)³ - (2)² - 24(2) - 36 = -80
f(5) = (5)³ - (5)² - 24(5) - 36 = -56
*** f(6) = (6)³ - (6)² - 24(6) - 36 = 0 ***
f(6) = 0 so (x - 6) is a factor of f(x).
This means that: f(x) = x³ - x² - 24x - 36 = (x - 6)(ax² + bx + c).
To find a,b and c, use long division (or inspection) to divide x³ - x² - 24x - 36 by x - 6.
The other 2 factors of f(x) can then be found by factorizing the
ax² + bx + c quadratic the way you would with any other quadratic (i.e. by quadratic formula, CTS or inspection).
Answer:
268.0 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
refer to attached graphic as reference
volume of cone, V = (1/3) πr²h
in our case, we are given r = 4" and h = 16"
substituting this into equation:
V = (1/3) πr²h
= (1/3) ·(3.14) · (4)²· (16)
= 267.94667 in²
= 268.0 in² (nearest tenth)
2/15 = 0.1333333333...
It is a repeating decimal, because a terminarog decimal ends, and this doesn't end.
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the boxes and whiskers of a box plot tells us more about the spread the data being represented is and as well as the shape of the spread.
Invariably, if the length of the left box and left whiskers is of the same length as the right box and right whiskers, this implies that the distribution of the data point is close to being symmetric, or approximately symmetrical.
