a = 3, b= - 4 and c = - 4
expand the left side using FOIL
(2x + 1)(ax + b) = 2ax² + 2bx + ax + b = 2ax² + x(2b + a) + b
compare the coefficients of expressions on left and right sides.
compare 2ax² + x(2b +a) + b with 6x² - 5x + c
coefficients of x² terms → 2a = 6 ⇒ a = 3
coefficients of x terms → 2b + a = - 5 → 2b + 3 = - 5 → 2b = - 8 ⇒ b = - 4
constant terms c = b = - 4
A common logarithmic provides the following value for the log10 of 8.65:
<span><span>0.9370161
Which number is closest to this one?
The answer is D) 0.9370.
This means that 8.65 = 10^(.9370). Note that that the number is less than 1, since 10^1 is 10, and 8.65 is less than 10. </span></span>
First we need to determine what the 6 angles must add to. Turns out we use this formula
S = 180(n-2)
where S is the sum of the angles (result of adding them all up) and n is the number of sides. In this case, n = 6. So let's plug that in to get
S = 180(n-2)
S = 180(6-2)
S = 180(4)
S = 720
The six angles, whatever they are individually, add to 720 degrees. The six angles are y, y, 2y-20, 2y-20, 2y-20, 2y-20, <span>
They add up and must be equal to 720, so let's set up the equation to get...
(y)+(y)+(</span>2y-20)+(2y-20)+(2y-20)+(<span>2y-20) = 720
Let's solve for y
</span>y+y+2y-20+2y-20+2y-20+2y-20 = 720
10y-80 = 720
10y-80+80 = 720+80
<span>10y = 800
</span>
10y/10 = 800/10
y = 80
Now that we know the value of y, we can figure out the six angles
angle1 = y = 80 degrees
<span>angle2 = y = 80 degrees
</span><span>angle3 = 2y-20 = 2*80-20 = 140 degrees
</span>angle4 = 2y-20 = 2*80-20 =<span> 140 degrees
</span><span>angle5 = 2y-20 = 2*80-20 = 140 degrees
</span>angle6 = 2y-20 = 2*80-20 =<span> 140 degrees
</span>
and that's all there is to it
