Factor the polynomial: a^4+2a^3-a-2

Mathematics
1 answer:
Black_prince [1.1K]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

(a-1) *(a^2 +a-1) (a+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

a^4+2a^3-a-2

Lets factor by grouping

a^4-a +    2a^3-2

Factor out an a from the first group and a 2 from the second group

a(a^3 -1)  +2(a^3-1)

Factor out (a^3-1)

(a^3-1)(a+2)

We need to recognize that a^3-1 is the difference of cubes

(x^3-y^3) = (x-y) (x^2+xy+y^2)

Let x=a  and y=1

(a-1) *(a^2 +a-1) (a+2)

EASY, ASAP!
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Number 1: x = 5

Number 2: y = 3, x = 1

Number 3: x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

For Number 1 you have to keep in mind that quadrilaterals have an interior angle measurement of 360°.

With that in mind, all the angles must add up to 360° (duh).

(20x - 16) + (81) + (16x + 10) + (15x + 30)

20x - 16 + 81 + 16x + 10 + 15x + 30 = 360

That's a bloody mess! We should really combine like terms.

20x <em>- 16 </em>+ <em>81 </em>+ 16x +<em> 10</em> + 15x + <em>30</em>

51x + 105 = 360

That looks a lot better, basic algebra from here, where we droppin' bois?

51x = 255

x = 5

--------------------------------------------------

This one's real easy.

In a parallelogram, the sides opposite from each other are equal, therefore:

2y + 2 = 4y - 4

and

x + 6 = 7x

Both are <em>very </em>easy to solve, here:

2y + 2 = 4y - 4

2y + 6 = 4y

6 = 2y

3 = y

<em>Easy!</em>

x + 6 = 7x

6 = 6x

1 = x

<em>Are you kidding me? This is easy stuff, kid.</em>

--------------------------------------------------

In a Rhombus, in case you didn't know, its diagonals (the lines connecting points diagonal to each other) are ALWAYS perpendicular to one another (intersect at 90°) which means:

2x + 10 = 90

2x = 80

x = 40

--------------------------------------------------

That will be all, ya boi Keith.

What is the sum or difference of 5/7 - 1/3
Hatshy [7]
ANSWER: 8/21

Step:
1. Find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor)
           The two denominator which is the bottom number have to be the same ALWAYS when adding and subtracting the fraction. So to find the GCF, you keep multiplying until you see the same number, only use the bottom number to find the GCF
      7: 7, 14, 21, 28
      3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27
         GCF= 21

2.  5/7 -1/3
    Multiple both to get 21
        5/7 x 3/3 = 15/21
        1/3 x 7/7 = 7/21

3. Sove
     15/21 - 7/21
        = 8/21
