The variables A, B, and C represent polynomials where A = x + 1, B = x2 + 2x − 1, and C = 2x. What is AB + C in simplest form?

topjm [15]

AB + C
= (x + 1)(x^2 + 2x - 1) + 2x
= x^3 + 2x^2 - x + x^2 + 2x - 1 + 2x
= x^3 + 3x^2 + 3x - 1

Eggs are sold in boxes. A small box holds 6 eggs.A large box holds 12 eggs.Hina buys x small boxes of eggs.Hina also buys 4 less

yuradex [85]

Answer:

a) 12x - 48 or 6(2x - 8)

b) 18x - 48 or 6(3x - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

A small box holds 6 eggs

A large box holds 12 eggs.

Hina buys x small box of eggs

Hina also buys (x-4) large box of eggs

a) Total number of eggs in the large box by Hina = (x-4)12

= 12x - 48

= 6(2x - 8)

b) Total number of eggs bought by Hina = (x) 6 + (x-4)12

= 6x + 12x - 48

= 18x - 48

= 6(3x - 8)

Find the exact value of sin A in simplest radical form.<br>

Scorpion4ik [409]

Using the law of sines, we have

$\dfrac{AB}{\sin(C)}=\dfrac{BC}{\sin(A)}$

And we know that

$AB=\sqrt{85},\quad BC=6,\quad A=90$

So, the equation becomes

$\sin(A)=\dfrac{BC\sin(C)}{AB}=\dfrac{6\sin(90)}{\sqrt{85}}=\dfrac{6}{\sqrt{85}}$
