The trial and error method is used to find an initial factor:
If we let f(x) = x³ - x² - 24x - 36 and all we have to do is sub' in values of x until
f(x) = 0, we can use this to find an initial factor by the factor theorem:
f(1) = (1)³ - (1)² - 24(1) - 36 = -60
f(2) = (2)³ - (2)² - 24(2) - 36 = -80
f(5) = (5)³ - (5)² - 24(5) - 36 = -56
*** f(6) = (6)³ - (6)² - 24(6) - 36 = 0 ***
f(6) = 0 so (x - 6) is a factor of f(x).
This means that: f(x) = x³ - x² - 24x - 36 = (x - 6)(ax² + bx + c).
To find a,b and c, use long division (or inspection) to divide x³ - x² - 24x - 36 by x - 6.
The other 2 factors of f(x) can then be found by factorizing the
ax² + bx + c quadratic the way you would with any other quadratic (i.e. by quadratic formula, CTS or inspection).
Answer:
15 people
Step-by-step explanation:
let x=total # of people on the team
80%=12
80/100=12/x
cross multiply
80x=1200
division property of equality (divide both sides by 80)
x=15
There are 15 people on the team.
Answer:45 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:since you walk 4 miles an hour in half of one you walk 2
For this case we use the following formula
Area of Sector = Area * radians of sector / 2 * pi radians
Where,
Area: it is the area of the complete circle.
We have then:
Area = pi * r ^ 2
Area = pi * (6) ^ 2
Area = 36pi
Substituting values:
5pi = 36pi * radians of sector / 2 * pi
Clearing:
radians of sector = ((5pi) * (2pi)) / (36pi)
radians of sector = (10pi ^ 2) / (36pi)
radians of sector = (10pi) / (36)
radians of sector = (10/36) pi
radians of sector = (5/18) pi
in degrees:
(5/18) pi * (180 / pi) = 50 degrees
Answer:
The measure of the central angle is:
50 degrees
