Answer:

x⁴+3x³ -5x +1

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply this we are going to multiply each term of the binomial by each term of the polynomial.

$(x-1)(x^{3}+4x^{2} +4x-1)\\=x^4+4x^3+4x^2-x -x^3-4x^2-4x+1$

Now we are going to combine like terms (this means we are going to sum up terms with the same exponent)

$x^4+4x^3+4x^2-x -x^3-4x^2-4x+1 = x^4 +(4x^3-x^3)+(4x^2-4x^2)+(-x-4x)+1\\=x^4+3x^3-5x+1$

Thus, the answer is x⁴+3x³ -5x +1

What is the area of the sector ?

worty [1.4K]

They forget to say "not to scale". I'm guessing this is trig because I don't see another way to do it.

Let's consider x=chord PQ first. By the Law of Cosines

$x^2 = 3^2 + 5^2 - 2(3)(5) \cos 81^\circ = 34 - 30\cos 81^\circ$

We have an isosceles triangle formed by two radii of 9 cm and x=PQ. By the Law of Cosines again,

$x^2 = 9^2 + 9^2 - 2(9)(9) \cos B$

$x^2 = 162 - 162 \cos B$

$\cos B = \dfrac{162 - x^2}{162} = 1 - \dfrac{x^2}{162}$

$\cos B = 1 - \dfrac{34 - 30\cos 81^\circ}{162}$

$B = \arccos \left(1 - \dfrac{34 - 30\cos 81^\circ }{162} \right)$

The area of the circle is the fraction given by the angle,

$A = \dfrac{B}{360^\circ} \pi r ^2$

$A \approx \dfrac{ \arccos \left(1 - \dfrac{34 - 30\cos 81^\circ}{162} \right) }{360} (3.142)9^2$

$A\approx 24.7474332960707$
