Answer:

  • <u>x + 2 is not a factor</u>

Explanation:

The answer choices are:

  • a. x + 5
  • b. x + 4
  • c. x + 3
  • d. x + 2

<h2>Solution</h2>

The<em> remainder theorem</em> states that the remainder of the division of a polynomial f(x) by a factor x - a is equal to f(a).

Therefore, when f(a) = 0, the remainder is zero and x - a is a factor of the polynomial.

Then, you must find f(a) for each of the factors on the choices:

a. x + 5

⇒ a = - 5

      f(-5)=(-5)^3+12(-5)^2+47(-5)+60=-125+300-235+60=0

Since f(-5) = 0, x + 5 is a factor of the polynomial.

b. x + 4

⇒ a = - 4

     f(-4)=(-4)^3+12(-4)^2+47(-4)+60=-64+192-188+60=0

Since f(-4) = 0, x + 4 is a factor.

c. x + 3

      f(-3)=(-3)^3+12(-3)^2+47(-3)+60=-27+108-141+60=0

Since f(-3) = 0, x + 3 is a factor.

d. x + 2

       f(-2)=(-4)^3+12(-2)^2+47(-2)+60=-8+48-94+60=6

Since f(-2) ≠ 0, x + 2 is not a factor ← answer

Bob and Mark talk about their families. Bob says he has 3 kids, the product of their ages is 72. He gives another clue: the sum
makvit [3.9K]
The first clue to this problem is that Bob has three kids in which the product of their ages is 72 and the sum is 14. From the factor tree, there  are two combinations of the ages  2, 6, 6 and<span>  3,3,8. Last thing he said is that his youngest is named Justice. One combination has similar number in the set which means there are twins. The youngest means there can be only one child. Hence the ages of the children are 2,6,and 6. </span>

PLEASE HELP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |r+3| ≥7 solve the inequality (please show work and steps )
alexdok [17]
|r+3| = (r+3) when r ≥ -3 so for r ≥ -3
                        r + 3 ≥ 7
                               r ≥ 4
|r+3| = -(r+3) when r < -3 so for r < -3
                     -(r + 3) ≥ 7
                         r + 3 ≤ -7
                               r ≤ -10
The answer to this question is r ≤ -10, r ≥ 4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the measure of the vertex angle ∠ABD of an isosceles triangle

we know that

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal angles

In this problem

∠ABD=∠BAD= ----> the angles of the base are equals

Find the measure of the vertex angle

∠ABD= ------> the sum of the internal angles of a triangle is equal to

Step 2

Find the measure of the angle  ∠CBD in the equilateral triangle

we know that

A equilateral triangle has three  equal sides and three equal angles

The measure of the internal angle in a equilateral triangle is

so

∠CBD=

Step 3

Find the measure of the angle ∠ABC

∠ABC=∠ABD+∠DBC

substitute the values

∠ABC=

therefore

the answer is

the measure of the angle ∠ABC is
