Answer: Two figures are said to be similar if they are the same shape. In more mathematical language, two figures are similar if their corresponding angles are congruent , and the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal.
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 1)(x - 2)(x + 2)
note that the sum of the coefficients 1 - 1 - 4 + 4 = 0
thus x = 1 is a root and (x - 1 ) is a factor
dividing x³ - x² - 4x + 4 by (x - 1)
x³ - x² - 4x + 4 = (x - 1)(x² - 4 ) (note (x² - 4 ) is a difference of squares )
x³ - x² - 4x + 4 = (x - 1)(x - 2)(x + 2)
(x - 1)(x - 2)(x + 2 ) =0
x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
solutions are x = 1 or x = ± 2
Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
The two integers could be -1 and 18.
18 + -1 = 17
Any other combination of integers that have a product of -18 would have a smaller sum.
