Determine if x − 2 is a factor of p ( x ) = x 4 − 3 x 2 + 2 x − 8 , and explain why.

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).

Determine which of the lines, if any, are parallel or perpendicular. Explain.
hodyreva [135]
Answer:
line a and b are parallel
line c is not perpendicular because it is not 3

step-by-step explanation:
if the slope is the same it is parallel
if the slope is the complete opposite it is perpendicular
lines a and b are parallel with a slope of -1/3
(0, 5) (3, 4)
m = 4 - 5 / 3 - 0
m = -1 / 3
m = -1/3
(-1, 1) (2, 0)
m = 0 - 1 / 2 + 1
m = -1 / 3
m = -1/3
line c is perpendicular to lines a and b the slope is
(0, 0) (2, 5)
m = 5 - 0 / 2 - 0
m = 5/2

analyze this situation and determine how much cookie dough is "wasted" when 3-inch cookies are cut. then have each team member c
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The result is the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.  

Please have a look at the attached photo.  

My answer:

Given the information:

  • square 12 inches wide
  • 3-inch diameter cookies are cut => its radius is: 1.5 inches

Hence we can find some information:

  • The area of the square is: 12^{2}  = 144 square inches
  • The area of a cookies is: r^{2}π = 3.14*1.5^{2} = 7.065 square inches
  • The total number of 3-inch cookies are: 4*4 =16

=> The total area of the cookies is: 16* 7.065 = 113.04 square inches

=> how much cookie dough is "wasted" when 3-inch cookies are cut:

= The area of the square - The total area of the cookies

= 144 - 113.04 = 30.96  square inches

If the diameter is increased to 4 inches => its radius: 2 inches, we have:

  • The area of a cookies is: r^{2}π = 2^{2} *3.14 = 12.56 square inches
  • The total number of 3-inch cookies are: 3*3 =9

=> The total area of the cookies is: 9* 12.56 = 113.04 square inches

=> how much cookie dough is "wasted" when 4-inch cookies are cut:

= The area of the square - The total area of the cookies

= 144 - 113.04 = 30.96  square inches

The result is the same.
