If <em>x</em> + 1 is a factor of <em>p(x)</em> = <em>x</em>³ + <em>k</em> <em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> + 6, then by the remainder theorem, we have

<em>p</em> (-1) = (-1)³ + <em>k</em> (-1)² + (-1) + 6 = 0   →   <em>k</em> = -4

So we have

<em>p(x)</em> = <em>x</em>³ - 4<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> + 6

Dividing <em>p(x)</em> by <em>x</em> + 1 (using whatever method you prefer) gives

<em>p(x)</em> / (<em>x</em> + 1) = <em>x</em>² - 5<em>x</em> + 6

Synthetic division, for instance, might go like this:

-1   |   1    -4     1     6

...   |         -1    5    -6

----------------------------

...   |   1    -5    6     0

Next, we have

<em>x</em>² - 5<em>x</em> + 6 = (<em>x</em> - 3) (<em>x</em> - 2)

so that, in addition to <em>x</em> = -1, the other two zeros of <em>p(x)</em> are <em>x</em> = 3 and <em>x</em> = 2

Two sides of a triangle measure 5 inches and 9 inches. Which of the following is a measure of a possible 3rd side of the triangl
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

B. 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because of the triangle inequality theorem which states "The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side." So, since 5+9 is 14 it has to be less than 14. Also, because 5+2 is 7 and that is not greater than 9 it has to be 5 inches.

2 * 4 = 8

8 < 11 is true

2 * 5 = 10

10 < 11 is true

2 * 5.3 =  10.6

10.6 < 11 is true

2 * 5.7 = 11.4

11.4 < 11 is NOT true.

x = 5.7 is not a solution.
