Answer:

This can be factored to (x + 3)(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0

So x is equal to 3, -3 and -2

Step-by-step explanation:

x³ + 2x² - 9x -18 = 0

Let's try dividing by (x + 3) as that looks like it might be a factor.  We'll use long division:

                    x²  - x - 6

        x + 3  }  x³ + 2x² - 9x -18

                    x³ + 3x²

                           -x² - 9x

                           -x² - 3x

                                -6x - 18

                                -6x - 18

                                         0

Perfect!  So (x + 3) is a factor, giving us:

(x + 3)(x² - x - 6)

the remaining quadratic can be factored more easily:

(x + 3)(x² - x - 6)

= (x + 3)(x² + 2x - 3x - 6)

= (x + 3)(x[x + 2] - 3[x + 2])

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

Now we can solve it easily as we know that's equal to zero, so x can be equal to 3, -3, and -2

6.1 Practice Assignment<br> Find the measure of angle 1?<br> pls help
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

79 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you want to find the interor angles.

Since there are 180 degrees in a triangle...180-(27+52)=101 degrees

And the bottom line is a straight line so it's equal to 180 degrees as well.

180-101=79 degrees

Question
Mashutka [201]

The equivalent value of given the expression is -17.25. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

<h3>What is an equivalent expression?</h3>

Equivalent expressions are expressions that work the same even though they look different. If two algebraic expressions are equivalent, then the two expressions have the same value when we plug in the same value for the variable.

The given expression is -14-8×0.5+0.75.

Now, -14-8×0.5+0.75

= -14-(8×0.5)+0.75

= -14-4+0.75

= -18+0.75

= -17.25

The equivalent value of given the expression is -17.25. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
