\dfrac{5x^4-7x^3-12x^2+6x+21}{(x-3)(x^2-2)^2}=\dfrac{a_1}{x-3}+\dfrac{a_2x+a_3}{x^2-2}+\dfrac{a_4x+a_5}{(x^2-2)^2}
\implies 5x^4-7x^3-12x^2+6x+21=a_1(x^2-2)^2+(a_2x+a_3)(x-3)(x^2-2)+(a_4x+a_5)(x-3)

When x=3, you're left with

147=49a_1\implies a_1=\dfrac{147}{49}=3

When x=\sqrt2 or x=-\sqrt2, you're left with

\begin{cases}17-8\sqrt2=(\sqrt2a_4+a_5)(\sqrt2-3)&\text{for }x=\sqrt2\\17+8\sqrt2=(-\sqrt2a_4+a_5)(-\sqrt2-3)\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}-5+\sqrt2=\sqrt2a_4+a_5\\-5-\sqrt2=-\sqrt2a_4+a_5\end{cases}

Adding the two equations together gives -10=2a_5, or a_5=-5. Subtracting them gives 2\sqrt2=2\sqrt2a_4, a_4=1.

Now, you have

5x^4-7x^3-12x^2+6x+21=3(x^2-2)^2+(a_2x+a_3)(x-3)(x^2-2)+(x-5)(x-3)
5x^4-7x^3-12x^2+6x+21=3x^4-11x^2-8x+27+(a_2x+a_3)(x-3)(x^2-2)
2x^4-7x^3-x^2+14x-6=(a_2x+a_3)(x-3)(x^2-2)

By just examining the leading and lagging (first and last) terms that would be obtained by expanding the right side, and matching these with the terms on the left side, you would see that a_2x^4=2x^4 and a_3(-3)(-2)=6a_3=-6. These alone tell you that you must have a_2=2 and a_3=-1.

So the partial fraction decomposition is

\dfrac3{x-3}+\dfrac{2x-1}{x^2-2}+\dfrac{x-5}{(x^2-2)^2}

Answer:

y is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

since this is a 30 60 90 triangle side a is x sqrt3 side b (which is y) is x and side c is 2x. since side c is 16 you divide by two or 16/2x and find x which 8 and since x is 8 and c is two times side b ur answer is 8 my friend

A quadrilateral has angle measures of 41 52 and 54 which is the measure of the last angle
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

213 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadrilateral has an internal measurement of angles of 360 degrees.  Given that we have 3 measures of the angles, we simply need to find the 4th.  This can be accomplished with the following equation:

x + 52 + 54 + 41 = 360

x + 52 + 95 = 360

x + 147 = 360

x = 213

Hence, the measure of the final angle is 213 degrees.

Cheers.

Hi!

1. Your answer should be the first option. (It looks the best to me)

2. it is the last option because it's the only one that's identical to the original picture.

3. It should be the third option since there are 10cm on the top of the shape.

4. a total of 39

Hope that helps, good luck! :)
