The [# of sides (n) - 2] × 180° is the formula for the sum of interior angles (IAs) in a regular polygon. And so that sum of all IAs ÷ IA = n
Each central angle is opposite of one side.
And all of the central angles add up to 360°, therefore 35×n = 360
35n/35 = 360/35 = 10.29, but we need to verify: each 35° central angle forms an isosceles triangle with a side of the polygon, and each opposite angle (x) is 1/2 of an interior angle. All 3 angles of a triangle sum to 180°, and 2 angles (x) are equal in an isosceles, so
x + x + 35 = 180
2x + 35 = 180
2x = 145
2x/2 = 145/2
x = 72.5
And each x is 1/2 of an interior angle (IA), therefore 2x = IS
IA = 2 (72.5) = 145
(n - 2) × 180° = IA × n
(n - 2) × 180° = 145n
(n - 2) × 180°÷180 = 145n/180
n - 2 = 29n/36
36n/36 - 72-36 = 29n/36
(36n/36 - 72-36)×36 = (29n/36)×36
36n - 72 = 29n
36n - 29n = 72
7n = 72
7n/7 = 72/7
n = 10.29

Are you sure the central angle was 35, not 36°?? Because we don't get a whole number as the # of sides. How can we have 0.29 of a side?

What is the inverse of f(x)= cube root of x +2.
DiKsa [7]
F(x)=\sqrt[3]{x+2}
to solve for the inverse of a function you do 4 steps:
1. subsitute f(x) with y
2. switch y and x places
3. solve for y
4. subsitute y with f⁻¹(x)

so we have
f(x)=\sqrt[3]{x+2}
subsitute f(x) with y
y=\sqrt[3]{x+2}
switch x and y
x=\sqrt[3]{y+2}
solve for y

x=\sqrt[3]{y+2}
cube both sides
x^{3}=y+2
subtract 2 from both sides
x^{3}-2=y

subsitute y with f⁻¹(x)
f⁻¹(x)=x^{3}-2



the answer is f⁻¹(x)=x^{3}-2

A Copy of machine produces 80 copies in 5 minutes. How many copies would be produced in 40 minutes?
BlackZzzverrR [31]
The answer would be 640. To find the number of how many copies are produced in 1 minute you have to write 80 divided by 5 which equals 16. Now you multiply 16 and the 40 minutes which gives you 640 copies.
