Answer:

Option B is correct

factor completely of $-4x^2+16x-24$ is $-4(x^2-4x+6)$

Step-by-step explanation:

GCF(Greatest Common Factor) states that the largest factor that divides the polynomial.

Given the expression:

$-4x^2+16x-24$

By definition of GCF we have;

Factor a GCF of the given expression.

Since GCF of $-4x^2$ , $16x$ and -24 is -4

then;

$-4(x^2-4x+6)$

Therefore, factor completely of $-4x^2+16x-24$ is $-4(x^2-4x+6)$

Answer:

Zeroes : 1, 4 and -5.

Potential roots: $\pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 4, \pm 5, \pm 10, \pm 20$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$x^3-21x=-20$

It can be written as

$x^3+0x^2-21x+20=0$

Splitting the middle terms, we get

$x^3-x^2+x^2-x-20x+20=0$

$x^2(x-1)+x(x-1)-20(x-1)=0$

$(x-1)(x^2+x-20)=0$

Splitting the middle terms, we get

$(x-1)(x^2+5x-4x-20)=0$

$(x-1)(x(x+5)-4(x+5))=0$

$(x-1)(x+5)(x-4)=0$

Using zero product property, we get

$x-1=0\Rightarrow x=1$

$x-4=0\Rightarrow x=4$

$x+5=0\Rightarrow x=-5$

Therefore, the zeroes of the equation are 1, 4 and -5.

According to rational root theorem, the potential root of the polynomial are

$x=\dfrac{\text{Factor of constant}}{\text{Factor of leading coefficient}}$

Constant = 20

Factors of constant ±1, ±2, ±4, ±5, ±10, ±20.

Leading coefficient= 1

Factors of leading coefficient ±1.

Therefore, the potential root of the polynomial are $\pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 4, \pm 5, \pm 10, \pm 20$ .

Answer:

Claim 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The Inscribed Angle Theorem* tells you ...

... ∠RPQ = 1/2·∠ROQ

The multiplication property of equality tells you that multiplying both sides of this equation by 2 does not change the equality relationship.

... 2·∠RPQ = ∠ROQ

The symmetric property of equality says you can rearrange this to ...

... ∠ROQ = 2·∠RPQ . . . . the measure of ∠ROQ is twice the measure of ∠RPQ

_____

* You can prove the Inscribed Angle Theorem by drawing diameter POX and considering the relationship of angles XOQ and OPQ. The same consideration should be applied to angles XOR and OPR. In each case, you find the former is twice the latter, so the sum of angles XOR and XOQ will be twice the sum of angles OPR and OPQ. That is, angle ROQ is twice angle RPQ.

You can get to the required relationship by considering the sum of angles in a triangle and the sum of linear angles. As a shortcut, you can use the fact that an external angle is the sum of opposite internal angles of a triangle. Of course, triangles OPQ and OPR are both isosceles.
