Is (x+7) a factor of f(x)= x^3-3x^2+2x-8

Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use synthetic division to answer this.  If the remainder is zero, then we can safely assume the divisor (x + 7) is a factor of the polynomial f(x)= x^3-3x^2+2x-8.

We use -7 as the divisor in synth. div.  This comes from the factor (x + 7):

-7   /    1    3     2     -8

               -7   28  -210

     -------------------------

         1      -4   30   -218

Here, the remainder is -218, not zero, so no, (x+7) is not a factor of f(x)= x^3-3x^2+2x-8.

Problem 1

Draw a straight line and plot P anywhere on it. Use the compass to trace out a faint circle of radius 8 cm with center P. This circle crosses the previous line at point Q.

Repeat these steps to set up another circle centered at Q and keep the radius the same. The two circles cross at two locations. Let's mark one of those locations point X. From here, we could connect points X, P, Q to form an equilateral triangle. However, we only want the 60 degree angle from it.

With P as the center, draw another circle with radius 7.5 cm. This circle will cross the ray PX at location R.

Refer to the diagram below.

=====================================================

Problem 2

I'm not sure why your teacher wants you to use a compass and straightedge to construct an 80 degree angle. Such a task is not possible. The proof is lengthy but look up the term "constructible angles" and you'll find that only angles of the form 3n are possible to make with compass/straight edge.

In other words, you can only do multiples of 3. Unfortunately 80 is not a multiple of 3. I used GeoGebra to create the image below, as well as problem 1.

How many solutions does the equation have?
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: there is only one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms by performing the opposite operation of subtracting 4x on both sides of the equation

The 4x's will cross out on the right

4x - 4x = 0x = 0

On the left:

2x - 4x = -2x

Now the equation looks like:

-2x + 3 = 2

Continue to combine like terms by subtracting 3 on both sides of the equation

On the left:

3 - 3 = 0

On the right:

2 - 3 = -1

Equation:

-2x = -1

Isolate x by performing the opposite operation of dividing -2 on both sides of the equation

On the left:

-2x ÷ -2 = 1

On the right:

-1 ÷ -2 = 1/2

x= 1/2

Sajia has 30 Books in her library. she sold 9 books at the thrift store on Saturday. Write and solve and inequality to determine
ELEN [110]

Sajia can sell 21 books she can sell if she comes back on sunday and the required inequality is 9 + x \leq 30

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that Sajia has 30 Books in her library

She sold 9 books at the thrift store on Saturday

To find: We have to write and solve an inequality to determine number of more books she can sell if she comes back on sunday

Let "x" be the number of more books she can sell if she comes back on sunday

<em><u>We can write a inequality as:</u></em>

\text{ books already sold } + \text{ number of books remaining } \leq \text{ total number of books she has }

9 + x \leq 30

Now moving 9 from L.H.S to R.H.S we get,

x \leq 30 - 9

On solving 30 - 9 = 21,

x \leq 21

So Sajia can sell 21 books she can sell if she comes back on sunday
