Been a while since I've done synthetic division.

1a. Let's assume that's supposed to be an equals sign

p(x) = 2x⁴ - 3x³ - 6x² + 5x + 6

possible rational roots have factors of 6 in the numerator and of 2 in the denominator.  We'll only worry about negative numerators.

Factors of six: 1,2,3,6, and we don't forget -1,-2,-3,-6

Factors of 2: 1,2

Possible rational roots:

(dividing by 1:) 1,-1,2,-2,3,-3,6,-6

(dividing by 2:) 1/2, -1/2  (2/2=1 is a duplicate, don't have to repeat it), 3/2, -3/2

Possible rational roots: 1,-1,2,-2,3,-3,6,-6, 1/2, -1/2, 3/2, -3/2

Synthetic division, trying x=1,

   1 | 2  -3  -6  5  6

             2  -1  -7  -2

       2    -1  -7  -2  4

Got a remainder of 4, so 1 isn't a root;

Trying x=-1  

-1 | 2  -3  -6  5  6

         -2   5  1  -6

     2  -5  -1  6  0

Zero remainder, found a root, x=-1.  This division says

(2x⁴ - 3x³ - 6x² + 5x + 6) / (x + 1) = 2x³ - 5x² - x + 6

Same set of rational roots on the cubic, we continue with x=2

2 | 2 -5 -1 6

         4 -2 -6

    2  -1 -3 0

Another zero remainder, x=2 is a root.  We're left with 2x² - x - 3 = 0, which factors as

(2x - 3)(x + 1) = 0

That's a second factor of x+1.  Our final factorization is

2x⁴ - 3x³ - 6x² + 5x + 6 = (x + 1)²(x-2)(2x - 3)

Fourth degree with a positive leading coefficient so goes to +infinity at both ends.  Double zero at x=-1, so it's tangent there, just touching the x axis, then down through x=3/2 and up through x=2.  

I'll leave the actually sketching and the other two polynomials to you -- that took some time.

The point of a square pyramid is cut off, making each lateral face of the pyramid a trapezoid with the dimensions shown.
omeli [17]

Answer:

The area of one trapezoidal face of the figure is 2 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

The point of a square pyramid is cut off, making each lateral face of the pyramid a trapezoid with the dimensions shown. What is the area of one trapezoidal face of the figure?

we know that

The area of a trapezoid is given by the formula

A=\frac{1}{2}(b_1+b_2)h

where

b_1 and b-2 are the parallel sides

h is the height of the trapezoid (perpendicular distance between the parallel sides)

we have

h=1\ in\\b_1=1\ in\\b_2=3\ in

substitute the given values in the formula

A=\frac{1}{2}(1+3)(1)

A=2\ in^2

Use the law of cosines to find the length of side C.
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

\text{D. 36.64}

Step-by-step explanation:

The Law of Sines is given by \frac{a}{\sin A}=\frac{b}{\sin B}=\frac{c}{\sin C} and works for any triangle.

Therefore, we have the proportion:

\frac{c}{\sin 41.5^{\circ}}=\frac{37}{\sin 42^{\circ}},\\\\c=\frac{37\sin 41.5^{\circ}}{\sin 42^{\circ}}=36.6399945706\approx \boxed{36.64}

CP is equal to 200 SP is equal to 100 find the profit or loss​
ioda

Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

if SP>CP,

It is profit [SP - CP = Profit]

if CP>SP,

It is loss   [CP - SP = Loss]

Here in the question CP>SP so,

loss = CP - SP

       =200 - 100

       = 100

Two fifths of one less than a number is less than three fifths of one more than that number .what numbers are in the solution se
Lelechka [254]

2/5(x - 1) < 3/5(1 + x)

To find the solution, we can use the distributive property to simplify.

2/5x - 2/5 < 3/5 + 3/5x

Multiply all terms by 5.

2x - 2 < 3 + 3x

Subtract 2x from both sides.

-2 < 3 + x

Subtract 3 from both sides.

-5 < x

<h3><u>The value of x is greater than the value of -5.</u></h3>
