Show that 2x +1 is a factor of 2x3 +5x2+4x+1 and factories completely
larisa [96]

\text{According to the factor theorem, if f(b) = 0, then x-b is a factor of f(x).}\\\\\text{Given that,}\\\\f(x) = 2x^3 +5x^2 +4x +1 \\\\f\left(-\dfrac 12 \right) = 2\left( - \dfrac 12 \right)^3 +5 \left( - \dfrac 12 \right)^2 +4 \left( - \dfrac 12 \right) +1 \\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~=-2 \cdot \dfrac 18 + 5 \cdot \dfrac 14 -2 +1 \\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=\dfrac 54 -\dfrac14 -1\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=\dfrac 44 -1 \\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=1-1\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=0\\\\\text{So,}~ 2x +1 ~ \text{is a factor of f(x).}

\text{Now,}\\\\f(x) = 2x^3 +5x^2 +4x +1 \\\\~~~~~~=2x^3+x^2 +2x^2 +2x +2x+1\\\\~~~~~~=x^2(2x+1)  +2x(2x+1) +  (2x+1)\\\\~~~~~~=(2x+1)(x^2 +2x +1)\\\\~~~~~~=(2x+1)(x+1)^2

How can I solve this question???
eduard

Answer:

144°

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the measure of the central angle of the regular pentagon

Divide 360 degrees by 5 (the number of sides)

360\°/5=72\°

Let

c----> the center of the pentagon

we know that

m∠ECA=72°

m∠ACB=72°

therefore

m∠ECB=m∠ECA+m∠ACB

substitute the values

m∠ECB=72°+72°=144°

The measure of angle ECB is equal to the degrees that the pentagon rotate

Solve the system of equations using the linear combination method.
Anit [1.1K]
       5p - 3q = -39
-     (-2p - 3q = 3)
==> 7p = -42 ==> p = -6

==> p = -6
      -2(-6) - 3q = 3 ==> 12 - 3q = 3 

==>p = -6
     -3q = 3 - 12 ==> -3q = -9

==> p = -6
       q = 3
