Which of the following is a root of the polynomial function below

Answer:

A) 2 + i

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x) = x^3 - 3x^2 + x + 5

0 = x^3 - 3x^2 + x + 5

0 = (x+1)(x^2 - 4x + 5)

Great, now we can separate these two parenthesis expressions because of the Zero Product Property. Start with the simple one:

0 = x + 1

<u>x = -1</u>

We have our first real root! But it doesn't look like that's one of the answer choices, so move on to the other expression:

0 = (x^2 - 4x +5)

This expression can't be factored, so we will use the quadratic formula (which is x = \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac }  }{2a}).

First solve for the positive part:

= (4 + sqrt(16-20)) / 2

  = 4 + sqrt(-4) / 2

  = 4 + 2i / 2

  <u>= 2 + i</u>

Then for the negative part:

= (4 - sqrt(16-20)) / 2

  = 4 - sqrt(-4) / 2

  = 4 - 2i / 2

  <u>= 2 - i</u>

<u></u>

<u>2 + i</u> is answer choice A! Our other roots, <u>2 - i</u> and <u>-1</u>, aren't answer choices.

17 - 2n = 9 what’s the answer ?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

17−2n=9

17+−2n=9

−2n+17=9

Step 2: Subtract 17 from both sides.

−2n+17−17=9−17

−2n=−8

Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.

−2n−2=−8−2

What are the measures of &lt; 1 and &lt; 2. Show your work or explain your answer.
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

m<1 = 105°

m<2 = 75°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since lines c and d are parallel to each other, therefore:

m<2 = 75° (corresponding angles are congruent)

m<1 + m<2 = 180° (linear angle pair)

Substitute

m<1 + 75° = 180°

Subtract 75 from both sides

m<1 = 180° - 75°

m<1 = 105°

What does x equal to in this problem<br>​
IgorC [24]

Using the triangle, we can find the angle lengths and using those and trig ratios, find the side lengths. Lets say the top side length is "y".

Using the Law of triangles, we can find the missing angle from 180-90-70=20 deg.

Then we can use the Law of sines,

sin(70)/13=sin(20)/y

y=sin(20)*13/sin(70)

y=15.34

Finally, we use the Pythagorean Theorem, (13)^2+(15.34)^2=x^2

x = 20.1
