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

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)

Find the volume of the cylinder.
Georgia [21]
<h3>Answer:</h3><h3>Exact volume = 32pi</h3><h3>Approximate volume =  100.48</h3>

The approximate volume only applies when pi = 3.14

Use either answer, but not both of course.

===============================================

Work Shown:

V = volume of cylinder

V = pi*r^2*h

V = pi*2^2*8

V = pi*32

V = 32pi .... exact volume in terms of pi

V = 32*3.14

V = 100.48 .... approximate volume when we use pi = 3.14
