Step-by-step explanation:

If x − 2 is a factor of p(x), then p(2) will equal 0.

p(x) = x⁴ − 3x² + 2x − 8

p(2) = 2⁴ − 3(2)² + 2(2) − 8

p(2) = 16 − 12 + 4 − 8

p(2) = 0

So x − 2 is indeed a factor of p(x).

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The horizontal distance from the plane to the person on the runway is 20408.16 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the figure below,

Where AB represent altitude of the plane is 4000 ft above the ground , C represents the runner. The angle of elevation from the runway to the plane is 11.1°

BC is the horizontal distance from the plane to the person on the runway.

We have to find distance BC,

Using trigonometric ratio,

$\tan\theta=\frac{Perpendicular}{base}$

Here, $\theta=11.1^{\circ}$ ,Perpendicular AB = 4000

$\tan\theta=\frac{AB}{BC}$

$\tan 11.1^{\circ} =\frac{4000}{BC}$

Solving for BC, we get,

$BC=\frac{4000}{\tan 11.1^{\circ} }$

$BC=\frac{4000}{0.196}$ (approx)

$BC=20408.16$ (approx)

Thus, the horizontal distance from the plane to the person on the runway is 20408.16 ft
