Answer:
A) 2 + i
Step-by-step explanation:
F(x) = x^3 - 3x^2 + x + 5
0 = x^3 - 3x^2 + x + 5
0 = (x+1)(x^2 - 4x + 5)
Great, now we can separate these two parenthesis expressions because of the Zero Product Property. Start with the simple one:
0 = x + 1
<u>x = -1</u>
We have our first real root! But it doesn't look like that's one of the answer choices, so move on to the other expression:
0 = (x^2 - 4x +5)
This expression can't be factored, so we will use the quadratic formula (which is x = ).
First solve for the positive part:
= (4 + sqrt(16-20)) / 2
= 4 + sqrt(-4) / 2
= 4 + 2i / 2
<u>= 2 + i</u>
Then for the negative part:
= (4 - sqrt(16-20)) / 2
= 4 - sqrt(-4) / 2
= 4 - 2i / 2
<u>= 2 - i</u>
<u></u>
<u>2 + i</u> is answer choice A! Our other roots, <u>2 - i</u> and <u>-1</u>, aren't answer choices.

Draw a picture!
You have a right triangle with legs of 5 and 12.
By the Pythagorean Theorem, the hypotenuse is √(5²+12²) = 13
Answer:
≈ 11.78 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The arc length is calculated as
arc = circumference of circle × fraction of circle
= 2πr × ( cancel 2π on numerator/ denominator )
= 15 ×
=
≈ 11.78 in ( to 2 dec. places )
