Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if x= -2

and P(x)=x^4+4x^3+6x^2-8

then P(-2)=(-2)^4+4*(-2)^3+6*(-2)^2-8=16-32+24-8=0

so P(x)=(x+2)* Q(x) and P(x) is divisible by x+2

Find the number which when divided by 4 and increased by 12 is the same as when it is divided by 3 and decreased by 5

MatroZZZ [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make the number we're finding to be $a$ . So, it says that it will be divided by 4 and then added by 12 if we want this in algebraic expression it will be $\frac{a}{4} +12\\$ . It's also telling us that that expression is the same thing as our number divided by 3 and subtracted by 5. If we want an expression out of it it well be $\frac{a}{3} -5\\$ . Since they are the same, we have the equation below.

$\frac{a}{4} +12 = \frac{a}{3} -5\\$

All we have to do now is to find $a$ .

$\frac{a}{4} +12 = \frac{a}{3} -5 \\ \frac{a +48}{4} = \frac{a -15}{3} \\ (3)(a +48) = (a - 15)(4) \\ 3a +144 = 4a -60 \\ (60 -3a) + 3a +144 = 4a -60 +(60 -3a) \\ a = 204$

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Our number must be $204$ . I think

Which is a true statement about an isosceles right triangle?

AnnyKZ [126]

Let $l$ be the length of a leg. Using the pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse is

$h = \sqrt{l^2+l^2}=\sqrt{2l^2}=l\sqrt{2}$

So, the hypotenuse is $\sqrt{2}$ times as long as either leg.

Please help me with this!<br><br><br> show that {1,2} ⊆ {x|x^4 - x^3 - x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0}

Llana [10]

The set $\{x\mid x^4-x^3-x^2-6x+6=0\}$ is the set of all values of $x$ that are solutions to the given equation. So all you need to do is check whether $x=1$ and $x=2$ satisfy the equation.

$x=1\implies 1^4-1^3-1^2-5+6=0$

$x=2\implies2^4-2^3-2^2-10+6=0$

The equation holds, so both 1 and 2 are solutions, and hence $\{1,2\}$ is a subset of the solutions.
