Short Answer C
Nice little problem. The catch is that alpha and beta both add up to 90 degrees.
Here's why.
α + β + right angle = 180° All triangles have 180° A right and = 90°.
α + β + 90 = 180 Right angles are 90° Now subtract 90° from both sides
α + β = 180 - 90
α + β = 90
Now all you have to do is put in the x values for alpha and beta and equate them to 90
5x/3 + 20 + 2x/3 + 14 = 90 Collect the light terms.
5x/3 + 2x/3 + 20 + 14 = 90
7x/3 + 34 = 90 Subtract 24 from both sides.
7x/3 = 90 - 34
7x/3 = 56 Multiply by sides by 3
7x = 3*56
7x = 168 Divide by 7
x = 168/7
x = 24
That's not quite the answer
The question wants alpha.
α = 5x / 3 + 20
α = 5*24/3 + 20
α = 120/3 + 20
α = 40 + 20
α = 60
Answer C <<<<<<
F(x) = x^4 + 81x^2
f(x) = x^2*x^2 + x^2*81
f(x) = x^2*(x^2 + 81) ... see note 1
f(x) = x^2*(x + 9i)(x - 9i) ... see note 2
note 1: if you haven't learned about complex or imaginary numbers yet, then you would stop at the line with "note 1" on it
note 2: you would stop here if you have learned about complex or imaginary numbers and you want to factor over the complex numbers. I used the rule that
a^2 + b^2 = (a+bi)*(a-bi)
For a , C= 18.85
for b , C= 21.99
for 1 , C= 75.4
for 2 , C= 87.96
Answer:
4.6875
Step-by-step explanation:
The x -intercepts occur when f(x) =0
So,
(x-4)^2 = x^2 -8x + 16 -3 =0
x^2 -8x + 13 =0
Solving by the quadratic formula
x1 = 5.7321
x2 = 2.2679
