Answer:

The two polynomials are:

(x + 1) and (x² + x)

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial is simply an expression which consists of variables & coefficients involving only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non - negative integer exponents of variables.

Now, 1 and x are both polynomials. Thus; 1/x is already a quotient of a polynomial.

Now, to get two polynomial expressions whose quotient, when simplified, is 1/x, we will just multiply the numerator and denominator by the same polynomial to get more quotients.

So,

Let's multiply both numerator and denominator by (x + 1) to get;

(x + 1)/(x(x + 1))

This gives; (x + 1)/(x² + x)

Now, 1 and x are both polynomials but the expression "1/x" is not a polynomial but a quotient and thus polynomials are not closed under division.

Prove that the product of any two consecutive natural numbers is even.
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the 2 consecutive natural numbers are 'n' and 'n+1'

Thus the product of the 2 numbers is given by

Product=n(n+1)\\\\

We know that the sum of 'n' consecutive natural numbers starting from 1 is

S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\\\\\therefore n(n+1)=2\times S_n............(i)

Thus from equation 'i' we can write

Product=2\times S_n

As we know that any number multiplied by 2 is even thus we conclude that the product of 2 consecutive numbers is even.

What is the value of x?<br> 26°<br> x =<br> = [?]
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

<h2><u>154°</u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The central angle and the angle between the tangents are supplementary, so

x + 26° = 180° ( subtract 26° from both sides )

26 - 26 = 0

180 - 26 = <u>154</u>

x = <u>154°</u>
