History
1 answer:
Marrrta [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

In the 1860s, Cornelius Vanderbilt started with the railroad business gaining control of some railway lines operating between Chicago and New York.

The main success of Vanderbilt in the railroad industry was the creation of a coherent system expanding to several states, lowering costs, improving efficiency and cutting times to travel.

He acquired almost half of all the railroads in America due to the franchise of the state to build up a kingdom in the US, taking the monopoly of the business.

Need help with question 3 just want to ensure my answer is correct before continuing
Blababa [14]

B. -3

The value of a for given polynomial is -3

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<em>Factor theorem for polynomials,</em>

<u><em>If (x-c) is a factor of polynomial f(x), then f(c)=0</em></u>

Given: x+a is a factor of polynomial 4x^3-13x^2-ax

Let f(x) = 4x^3-13x^2-ax

By Factor theorem, since x+a is a factor of f(x),

(x+a)=[x-(-a)]\\So,\ f(-a)=0

Substituting x=-a in f(x)=0, we get

f(x) = 4x^3-13x^2-ax = 0\\f(-a)= [4(-a)^3]-[13(-a)^2]-[a(-a)] = 0\\(-4a^3-13a^2+a^2)=0\\(-4a^3-12a^2)=0\\-4a^3=12a^2\\\frac{a^3}{a^2} =\frac{12}{-4} \\\\a=(-3)

Therefore, value of a is (-3)

In what way were the Maya different from the Aztec and Inca civilizations?
seraphim [82]
A. The Aztec and Inca had large, united empires, but the Maya did not. <span>The Mayan region was divided into several independent city-states, some of which became powerful. A king ruled each city-state and served as the head of the government, military, and religion. Each king had a court of followers and was advised by a council. To avoid war, kings often acted as diplomats as they formed alliances with other city-states. However, diplomacy often failed and, as a result, war between city-states was common. The city-state structure of the Maya prevented them from uniting into an empire.</span>
