Answer:

other x values are -5,-4

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=0 for x=−6

Apply synthetic division to get the quotient . using that we find other two values of x

-6                1           15             74          120

                   0          -6           - 54          -120                    

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

                    1           9             20         0

the quotient is x^2+9x+20=0

now factor the left hand side, product is 20 and sum is 9

x^2+9x+20=0\\(x+5)(x+4)=0\\x+5=0 , x=-5\\x+4=0, x=-4

So  other x values are -5,-4

Can someone explain major and minor arcs in relation to circles.
Lelechka [254]
A Major Arc within a circle is something that that is more than half of the circle, and therefore, larger than the minor arc. The way in which this could be used in an example is; Tony has a pizza with 8 slices, 6 of these slices are pepperoni and 2 are chilli beef. In this case, the pepperoni slices are the major arc and the chilli beef slices are the minor arc.
The Major Arc will always be bigger than the minor arc- whether this is 181 degrees to 179, or whether this is 350 degrees to 10 degrees.
The Minor Arc is always the smallest arc, and this can be explained by; Benedict has an apple pie that has 10 slices, between him and his friends, they have eaten four slices. In this case, they have eaten the 'minor arc'
There is a picture attached, and this is the examples of a major and a minor arc.
Hope this has been able to help you :)

Please help with the following question
Alex17521 [72]
P1=(0,0)=(x1,y1)→x1=0, y1=0
P2=(3,-2)=(x2,y2)→x2=3, y2=-2

Slope: m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(-2-0)/(3-0)
m=(-2)/3
m=-2/3

Point-slope equation:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-0=(-2/3)(x-0)
y=-(2/3)x

Answer: The equation of the line is: y=-(2/3)x
