3x² = 16x - 5
3x² - 16x + 5 = 16x - 16x - 5 + 5
3x² - 16x + 5 = 0
x = <u>-(-16) +/- √((-16)² - 4(3)(5))</u>
                       2(3)
x = <u>16 +/- √(256 - 60)</u>
                   6
x = <u>16 +/- √(196)</u><u /><u /><u />
                6
x = <u>16 +/- 14 </u>
             6
x = <u>16 + 14</u>    x = <u>16 - 14</u>
            6                   6
x = <u>30</u>            x = <u>2</u>
       6                   6
x = 5              x = 0.33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

X - the number

3x^2=16x-5 \\&#10;3x^2-16x+5=0 \\&#10;3x^2-15x-x+5=0 \\&#10;3x(x-5)-1(x-5)=0 \\&#10;(3x-1)(x-5)=0 \\&#10;3x-1=0 \ \lor \ x-5=0 \\&#10;3x=1 \ \lor \ x=5 \\&#10;x=\frac{1}{3} \ \lor \ x=5

The number is 1/3 or 5.

Find (g • f) ^(3) PLEASE HELLPP
spayn [35]
The first thing we are going to do to find (g°f)(3), is find (g°f)(x). To do that, we are going to evaluate g(x) at f(x):
(g°f)(x)=g(f(x))=g(3x-2)=(3x-2)^2=9x^2-12x+4

Now, we can evaluate (g°f) at 3:
g(f(3))=9(3)^2-12(3)+4
g(f(3))=9(9)-36+4
g(f(3))=81-32
g(f(3))=49

We can conclude that the correct answer is c. 49

Which of these statements is true? A. The interior angles of both a regular and irregular pentagon have a sum of 540o. B. The in
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

 Option A is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

 The sum of interior angles of a polygon is given by (n-2) x 180°, where n is the number of sides.

 The sum of interior angles will not affect irregularity of polygon, it is same for regular and irregular polygon.

 For a pentagon n =5.

 Sum of interior angles = (5-2) x 180 = 3 x 180 = 540°

  Option A is the correct answer.
