1) x³ + 2x² - x - 2 2) 2x³ + 5x² - 8x - 20 = 0
x²(x + 2) - (x + 2) x²(2x + 5) - 4(2x + 5) = 0
(x + 2)(x² - 1) (2x + 5)(x² - 4) = 0
(x + 2)(x - 1)(x + 1) x = -5/2, +-2
x = -2, 1, -1 << a is the answer.
hope that helps, God bless!
Answer:
The amount of rainfall increases as an exponential function of time.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-20/3 & -40/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let’s say that the 1st number is X and the 2nd number is Y.
Given that x:y = 1:2 => x/y = 1/2 => 2x = y
and a-5/y+4 = 5/4 (The first number is decreased by 5 and the second number is increased by 4.)
=> 4(x - 5) = 5 (y + 4)
=> 4x - 20 = 5y + 20
=> 4x - 5y = 40
As, 2x = y , 4x = 2y
=> 2y - 5y = 40
=> -3y = 40
=> y = -40/3 ; x = y/2 = -20/3
This might be confusing but I hope this helps :)
