Answer:

  • Benito's error was stating that the correspongind sides and angles are equal (=) instead of stating that they are congurent (≅).

Explanation:

In geometry two different figures (segments, angles, polygons ,...) are not said to be equal but congruent.

Congruent means that they have the same measure but not that they are equal in other senses.

The use of equal is applied to numbers or variables),so you can tell x = 2, 3 = 3, A = πr², but you should not say segment AB is equal to segment BC. Instead you say segment AB ≅ segment BC, which is segment AB is congruent to segment BC.

Of course, you still can use the word equal (symbol =) if you state that you are talking about measures.

This also can help you

  • Correct: segment  AB ≅ segment BC  
  • Correct: legth of segment AB = length of segment BC
  • Incorrect: segment AB = segment BC

Segment AB and segment BC are not equal because they are two different segments. They are congruent because they have the same length.

Note: the bars shown over the letters AB, BC, AD, DC, mean segment.

You synthetic division to find P(3) for p(x)=x^4-6x^3-4x^2-6x-2
klio [65]
By the polynomial remainder theorem, the remainder upon dividing p(x) by x-3 will be the value of p(3).

... | 1 ... -6 ... -4 ... -6 .... -2
3. | .. ...  3 ... -9 ... -39 .. -135 
--------------------------------------
... | 1 ... -3 ... -13 . -45 .. -137

So you have

\dfrac{x^4-6x^3-4x^2-6x-2}{x-3}=x^3-3x^2-13x-45-\dfrac{137}{x-3}

which means p(3)=-137.

Where is the removable discontinuity of f(x)=x+5/x^2+3x-10 located?
mario62 [17]
We are looking to find the point where the curve discontinued

Step 1: Factorise both numerator and denominator (if possible)
\frac{x+5}{ x^{2} +3x-10}= \frac{(x+5)}{(x+5)(x-2)}

Step 2: Recognise the common factor, which is (x+5)

Step 3: Equate the common factor to 0
x+5=0
x=-5

Answer: -5
