If (x-a) is the factor of f(x) then,
f(a)=0 and vice-versa
or,3x³-12x²-4x-55=0 .. .eqn(1)
Compare (x-a) with the binomials (x + 1), (x + 4), (x - 5), and (x - 2).....then
CHECK f(a)=0 by putting a=-1,-4,5,2 then
we get
f(-1)=3×(-1)³-12×(-1)²-4×(-1)-55=-66
f(-4)=............................,..............=other value than 0
f(5)= 3×(5)³-12×(5)²-4×(5)-55=0 (satisfies eqn1)
f(2)=...............=other value than 0(checkyourself)
Here, only f(5)=0
the factor of f(x)=(x-5)

Pratctice and Solving Solve each equation with variables on both sides 1. 6x - 2 = x + 13​
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - 2 = x + 13

subtract 1x from both sides

5x - 2 = 13

isolate the 5x by adding 2 to both sides

5x = 15

finnaly devide both by 5

x = 3

Thuy rolls a number cube 7 times. which expression represents the probability of rolling a 4 exactly 2 times?
Nady [450]
The result of rolling a number cube 7 times is a 7-digit number composed of digits 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 so that digits can repeat. The total number of possibilities is 6^7.

The number of possibilities where 4 appears exactly two times is 5^5*(7!-6!/2).
 5^5 is the number of 5-digits numbers composed of digits 1,2,3,5 and 6 so that digits can repeat.
7! is the number of permutations of digits 1,2,3,4,4,5 and 6.
6! is the number of permutations of digits 1,2,3,{4,4},5 and 6.
We don't want to subtract all numbers where digits 4 appear side by side. That's why we must divide 6! by 2.

Finally, the probability is P=5^5(7!-6!/2)/7^7

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.
erastova [34]

Answer:

√8 ==> 2 units, 2 units

√7 ==> √5 units, √2 units

√5 ==> 1 unit, 2 units

3 ==> >2 units, √5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which pair of legs that matches a hypotenuse length to create a right triangle, recall the Pythagorean theorem, which holds that, for a right angle triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (c²) = the sum of the square of each leg length (a² + b²)

Using c² = a² + b², let's find the hypotenuse length for each given pairs of leg.

=>√5 units, √2 units

c² = (√5)² + (√2)²

c² = 5 + 2 = 7

c = √7

The hypothenuse length that matches √5 units, √2 units is √7

=>√3 units, 4 units

c² = (√3)² + (4)²

c² = 3 + 16 = 19

c = √19

This given pair of legs doesn't match any given hypotenuse length

=>2 units, √5 units

c² = (2)² + (√5)²

c² = 4 + 5 = 9

c = √9 = 3

legs 2 units, and √5 units matche hypotenuse length of 3

=>2 units, 2 units

c² = 2² + 2² = 4 + 4

c² = 8

c = √8

Legs 2 units, and 2 units matche hypotenuse length of √8

=> 1 unit, 2 units

c² = 1² + 2² = 1 + 4

c² = 5

c = √5

Leg lengths, 1 unit and 2 units match the hypotenuse length, √5

Three angles of a hexagon are congruent. The other three angles are also congruent, each with a measure twice that of the first
Serga [27]
The sum of the interior angles of a hexagon is 720 degrees. If 3 angles are congruent, each with measure x degrees, and the other 3 angles are also congruent to each other, each with measure 2x degrees, then the total sum of all 6 angles would be 3x + 3(2x) = 9x. If this is equal to 720, then x = 80 degrees, while 2x = 160 degrees.
Therefore, there are 3 80-degree angles and 3 160-degree angles.
