Answer:

p(x) = (3x^{2} - 8x + 5)(x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) has degree 3

(x - 4) has degree 1

So p(x) can be rewritten as a polynomial of degree 2 multiplying (x-4)

So

p(x) = (ax^{2} + bx + c)(x - 4)

To find a, b and c, we have to divide p(x) by x - 4.

So

Finding a:

Dividing the first term of p(x) by x - 4.

\frac{3x^{3}}{x - 4} = 3x^{2}

So a = 3.

Now multiplying 3x² by, x - 4, we have:

3x^{2}(x - 4) = 3x^{3} - 12x^{2}

Subtracting p(x) from this:

3x^{3} - 20x^{2} + 37x - 20 - (3x^{3} - 12x^{2}) = 3x^{3} - 20x^{2} + 37x - 20 - 3x^{3} + 12x^{2} = -8x^{2} + 37x - 20

Finding b:

Dividing the first term, after the subtraction, by x - 4.

\frac{-8x^{2}}{x - 4} = -8x

So b = -8.

Multiplying -8x by x - 4, we have:

-8x(x-4) = -8x^{2} + 32x

Then

-8x^{2} + 37x - 20 - (-8x^{2} + 32x) = -8x^{2} + 37x - 20 + 8x^{2} - 32x = 5x - 20

Finding c:

\frac{5x}{x - 4} = 5

So c = 5.

Just to verify if the remainder is 0.

5(x - 4) = 5x - 20

5x - 20 - (5x - 20) = 0

Ok

Then:

p(x) = (ax^{2} + bx + c)(x - 4)

p(x) = (3x^{2} - 8x + 5)(x - 4)

In this figure, AB¯¯¯¯¯∥CD¯¯¯¯¯ and m∠4=85°.
Stolb23 [73]

AB∥CD and m∠4=85°.

so

<1 = 180° - 85°

<1 = 95°

Because AB∥CD so <5 = <1 = 95° (corresponding angles are equal)

Answer

<5 = 95°
