Answer:

<h2>              a = 2,    b = -1  </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) = ax³ + x² - 2x + b

p(1) = a(1)³ + 1² - 2•1 + b = a + 1 - 2 + b = a + b - 1

a + b - 1 = 0  ⇒   b = 1 - a

p(-1) = a(-1)³ + (-1)² - 2(-1) + b = -a + 1 + 2 + b = - a + b + 3

- a + b + 3 = 0    ∧   b = 1 - a

- a + (1 - a) + 3 = 0

- a + 1 - a + 3 = 0

-2a + 4 = 0

-2a = -4

 <u>a = 2</u>

<u>b = 1 - 2 = -1</u>

One angle of an isosceles triangle measures 26°. Which other angles could be in that isosceles triangle?
Julli [10]

Answer:

There are two answers, either of which would work

  • 26°, 26° and 128°
  • 26°, 77° and 77°

Method:

An isosceles triangle has 2 of the same sides so there are two possible answers:

1) 26° is one of the angles which is the same as another. 26° × 2 = 52° and since there are 180° in a triangle the other angle is 180° - 52° which is 128°. This would make the angles 26°, 26° and 128°

2) 26° is not one of the angles which is the same as another. Since there are 180° in a triangle, the other angles would both be 2 ÷ (180° - 26°) which is 77°. This would make the angless 26°, 77° and 77°
