EACH central angle = 360 / number of sides
number of sides = 360 / each central angle
number of sides = 360 / 40
number of sides = 9
6 1/4 because 9 1/2 - 3 1/4= 6 1/4

Answer: 2x - 5
Step-by-step explanation: 2x - 5 does not have anything in common, so therefore it can not be simplified. Then 3x - 3 can be divided by 3 because they have that in common. It can’t be 3x - 3 because it still contains one step left to be in its most simplified form.
Answer:
- zeros: x = -3, -1, +2.
- end behavior: as x approaches -∞, f(x) approaches -∞.
Step-by-step explanation:
I like to use a graphing calculator for finding the zeros of higher order polynomials. The attachment shows them to be at x = -3, -1, +2.
__
The zeros can also be found by trial and error, trying the choices offered by the rational root theorem: ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6. It is easiest to try ±1. Doing so shows that -1 is a root, and the residual quadratic is ...
x² +x -6
which factors as (x -2)(x +3), so telling you the remaining roots are -3 and +2.
___
For any odd-degree polynomial with a positive leading coefficient, the sign of the function will match the sign of x when the magnitude of x gets large. Thus as x approaches negative infinity, so does f(x).
