Answer:

The perimeter of the triangle could not be 24 - which is our solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first approach to this problem that comes to my mind, is to find the most " restricting " triangles possible. By that I mean the largest length of the side greater than 6 and the side less than 6.

The length of the side greater than 6 has to be less than 12 - considering it has to stretch the sum 6 + 6 - by the Triangle Inequality Theorem. Therefore, the most restricting triangle possible to the 1st decimal place should be the following -

{ 6, 5.9, 11.8 } ... the catch here is that this triangle does not need to be composed of lengths being whole numbers. If that was true the most " restricting " triangle would have lengths { 6, 5, 10 } throwing you off track as it's perimeter is 21.

{ 6, 5.9, 11.8 } adds to a sum of 23.7, eliminating answer choice c. Therefore, we can conclude that the perimeter of the triangle can't be 24. In fact this is only to the first decimal place, you could be more specific and go to the 100th decimal place even. Either way, the perimeter of the triangle has to be less than 24.

Given a polynomial f(x), if (x − 4) is a factor, what else must be true?
ollegr [7]

Answer:

f(4)=0


Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The </em><em>Remainder Theorem</em><em> states that when you divide a polynomial f(x)  by a linear factor  (x-a) , where a  is a constant, the remainder is f(x)  evaluated at x=a</em>

<em>Moreover, according to the </em><em>Factor Theorem</em><em>, an extension of the Remainder Theorem, if the remainder of the function f(x) is </em><em>0</em><em> when evaluated at x=a , then (x-a)  is said to be a factor of the polynomial f(x)</em>

Given the 2 theorems above, it follows that if (x-4)  is a factor of f(x) , then the remainder is equal to 0 when f(x) is evaluated at x=4

Which means f(4)=0

Third answer choice is correct.

Find x. Round to the nearest degree.
jeka94

The Law of Cosines features the 3 side lengths of a triangle, plus the measure of the angle opposite one of those sides.


We want angle x, which is opposite the side of length 39.


Then: a^2 = b^2 - 2ab cos C becomes 39^2 = 36^2 + 59^2 - 2(36)(59)cos x


or 1521 = 3481 + 1296 - 2(36)(59) cos x


Subtract (3481+1296) from both sides: 1521 - 4777 = -4248cos x

-3256 = -4248cos x

-3256

Then: cosx = --------------- = 0.766

-4248


Solving for x: x = arccos -0.766 = 0.698 radian, or 40 degrees (answer)
