Answer:

-2x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiply x+2 by 3.

3 x x = 3x

3 x 2 = 6

3(x+2) simplifies to 3x+6

Rewrite the equation: 3x+6-5x

Combine like terms

3x - 5x = -2x

-2x+6

Consider this polynomial, where a is an unknown real number.
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct steps to find the value of 'a' should be,

Braulio's synthetic division should be,

-1  |     1       5         a          -3           11

   

    <u>            -1        -4        (4 - a)     (a - 1)  </u>

         1      4     (a - 4)     (1 - a)     (a + 10)

Here remainder is (a + 10).

So (a + 10) = 17 ⇒ a = 7

Braulio Incorrectly found a value of 'a' because he should have used (-1) instead of 1.

Zahra's calculation by remainder theorem should be,

p(x) = x⁴ + 5x³ + ax² - 3x + 11

p(-1) = (-1)⁴ + 5(-1)³ + a(-1)² - 3(-1) + 11

      = 1 - 5 + a + 3 + 11

      = (a + 10)

Since, remainder of the solution is 17,

(a + 10) = 17 ⇒ a = 7

Zahra incorrectly found the value of 'a' because she incorrectly solved the powers to (-1).

Find EF in the trapezoid.<br><br> How can I solve for this?
devlian [24]

Answer:

Ef=52

Step-by-step explanation:

By the mids segment theorem if a line sgement has endpoints on the midpoints of 2 sides of a triangle then it is half the size of the third side.

That means

2(4x+8)=9x-5

8x+16=9x+5

11=x

Then plug it back in to EF

4(11)+8

44+8

52

Definition of a similarity transformation
Katarina [22]
A similarity transformation is one or more rigid transformations (reflection, rotation, translation) followed by a dilation. When a figure is transformed by a similarity transformation, an image is created that is similar to the original figure.
