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).
106=x+x+5+x+8
106=3x+13
3x=93
x=31
(the sides are 31, 36, 39 respectively)
Answer:
429
Step-by-step explanation:
y=3+6×(n-1)
n=72
y=3+6×(72-1) = 429
7 x 3 = 21 so it is 21 ft cm your welcome
<em>Ohhh, interest problems. I haven't done an equation like this in a long time, but I will attempt.</em>
<em>I would say that the answer is the 2nd option. The equation is i = (5200)(0.06)(2.5).</em>
<em>The traditional interest formula is I = (P)(R)(N).</em>
<em>P = the original amount of money given</em>
<em>R = interest rate</em>
<em>N = the amount of time</em>
