Answer:

$\boxed{\textsf {The value of c is $\sf \dfrac{-14}{3}$. }}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial is given to us . We need to find the value of c so that it is divisible by (x-3 ) .The given polynomial to us is ,

$\sf \implies p(x)=- x^3+cx^2-4x+3$

And the factor is ,

$\sf \implies g(x) = x + 3$

Now , according to factor theorem , p(x) will be divisible by g(x) if p(-3) = 0

$\sf \implies p(x)= - x^3+cx^2-4x+3 \\\\\implies\sf p(-3) = 0 \\\\\sf\implies -(-3)^3+c(-3)^2-4(-3)+3 = 0 \\\\\sf\implies 27 + 9c +12+3=0 \\\\\sf\implies 9c +42=0 \\\\\sf\implies 9c = (-42) \\\\\sf\implies c = \dfrac{-42}{9}\\\\\sf\implies \boxed{\pink{\sf c = \dfrac{-14}{3}}}$

<h3>Hence the value of c is (-14)/3 .</h3>

Given a regular decagon, find the measures of the angles formed by (

Sonja [21]

A decagon has 10 sides (think decade and decathlon). From the center of the decagon we draw the radii and in doing so we take the area of the decagon and divide it into 10 congruent Triangles.

The angles around the center add up to 360 because they form a circle and since there are 10, they each measure 36 degrees. So the answer to the first part (the angle between the radii) is 36 degrees.

Each of these triangles has two equal sides (both radii) so is Isosceles. That means that the base angles are congruent. So the two angles that are left in each triangle must measure the same. Since the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees, we know that the two remaining angles are together equal to 180-36=144 degrees. Since they are equal in measure they each measure 72 degrees.

Thus the answer to the second part, trhe measure of the angle between a radius and the side of the polygon is 72 degrees.

Can someone help with an explanation? This is finding Surface Area.

Y_Kistochka [10]

The answer should be 95in^2

Explanation:

You’re essentially just finding the area of all the shapes on the triangle and adding them together.

Area of a triangle = 1/2•b•h
Area of a square = l•w or just s2

The area of the triangles given what we have in the diagram can be found with
1/2•5•7 = 17.5

There are 4 triangles so you multiply 17.5 by 4 which gives 70

The base of the triangle (the square) = 25

70+25=95

Paige invested 1200 at an interest rate of 5.75% compounded quarterly. Determine the value of her investments in 7 years.

iragen [17]

Use the formula A=p(1+r)^n
where
A= value of investment
r= rate
n= time period
p= amount invested
in this question
r= 5.75% but compounded quarterly means divide this by 4
r= 23/1600
n=7*4
n=28
p= $1200
A=1200(1+23/1600)^28

A= $1789.54

Therefore the value of her investment in 7 years is $1789.54

Three potential employees took an aptitude test. Each person took a different version of the test. The scores are reported below

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Due to the higher Z-score, Demetria should be offered the job.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

Whichever applicant had grade with the highest z-score should be offered the job.

Demetria got a score of 85.1; this version has a mean of 61.1 and a standard deviation of 12.

For Demetria, we have $X = 85.1, \mu = 61.1, \sigma = 12$ . So
