The third option because when you factor out the denominator, you get (x-1)(x+3), giving you zeros of 1 and -3
Answer: Well if you were going to think of a circle you can divide it into 4 equal sizes in one of the is equal to two pentagons and a half. If you add all is equal to a loop full of pentagons [which makes 10 pentagons]. Because the ring is made out of regular pentagons, we can work out that each of the interior angles of each pentagon is 108* degrees. By extending the lines that two pentagons share, assuming they will all meet in the middle, it will create a triangle. As we know each angle of a [regular] pentagon is 108* degrees, we know the two base angles of the triangle would equal to 72** which leaves the top angle to be 36 degrees. As [the sum of] angles at a point is 360 degrees, and 36 is divisible by 360, it will make a complete ring. Also, as 360 ÷ 36 = 10, we know that the ring will be made out of 10 pentagons. as formula to calculate the the size of a interior angle of a polygon is (n×180−360)÷n (for n being the number of sides that the polygon has). because the triangle is made by extending the lines, and angles on a line is 180 degrees, 180−108 (an interior angle of a pentagon) =72.
Answer:
16.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The two enclosures will need three equal fences coming out from the wall and meeting another fence running parallel to the wall. If the fences coming out from the wall are x metres long the parallel fence will be (132 - 3x) metres long.
The area A = x(132 - 3x) = 132x - 3x^2
The derivative of A = zero when 132 - 6x = 0 which means the maximum area is when x = 22m
The maximum area = 22 x (132 - 3 x 22) = 1452 m^2
If you don’t know how to find derivatives then you could sketch the graph of y = x(132 - 3x).
This is an inverted parabola (hill) with x intercepts at 0 and 132/3 = 44.
The maximum point (top of the hill) is halfway between 0 and 44 I.e. 22m
Try any other value for x and the area will be smaller.
