Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: f(x) = 2x^3 + x^2 - 5x + 2; x + 2

If x + 2 is a factor of f(x), then , by the Factor Theorem, f(-2) = 0.

So we check if this is so:

f(-2) = 2(-2)^3 + (-2)^2 - 5(-2) + 2

= -16 + 4 + 10 + 2

= -16 + 16 = 0.

So Yes x + 2 is a factor.

answer: 20

in the number line, you can see that the dot on 20 is an open circle. this means that it is not included. so 20 could be one of the answers.

- anything greater than 20 would be an answer.

Answer:

The degree measure of the slice representing the mint patties rounded to the nearest degree is 69°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A two-pound bag of assorted candy contained 100 caramels,

83 mint patties,

93 chocolate squares,

80 nut clusters,

79 peanut butter taffy pieces.

Now find the degree measure of the slice representing the mint patties rounded to the nearest degree as shown:

$\frac{83}{100+83+93+80+79} \times 360^0$

$\frac{83}{435} \times 360^0$

$68.69\approx69^0$

Hence, the degree measure of the slice representing the mint patties rounded to the nearest degree is 69°.

What’s the equation you’re suppose to make?

ioda

Answer:

To begin with we know that a line must have an angle measure of 180, and those two angles in your photo are supplementary angles. Based on this you get this equation: 8x+6+118=180, the answer of that is 8x=56 simplify it to get x=7
