Answer:
x-intercepts = 1,2, and 4, y-intercept = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
x^3 - 7x^2 - 14x - 8 in factored form is equal to (x-1)(x-2)(x-4).
Solving for x-intercepts:
- We are actually able to solve for all x-intercepts without the given factor. But since we are given one of the factors, our job becomes much easier.
- Using synthetic division, or long division, we factor out the x-intercept 4. Which leaves us with the polynomial x^2 - 3x + 2.
- From here we can separate the polynomial into two binomials.
- x^2 - 3x + 2 = (x-1)(x-2). Giving us all 3 x-intercepts.
- Using Descartes' rules we can identify before even starting the problem how many real x-intercepts there are (Not needed for this problem).
Solving for y-intercept:
- The y-intercept is always the coefficient that does not have any assigned x-variables.
- The coefficient is -8, thus the y-intercept.
- If unsure of the y-intercept, you can always plug in x = 0. Solving for the y-intercept will give you the value of f(0).
- If there is no coefficient, the y-intercept is equal to zero.
Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
because if you solve the problem it is equal to c
Check the picture below.
let's recall that a kite is a quadrilateral, and thus is a polygon with 4 sides
sum of all interior angles in a polygon
180(n - 2) n = number of sides
so for a quadrilateral that'd be 180( 4 - 2 ) = 360, thus
![\bf 3b+70+50+3b=360\implies 6b+120=360\implies 6b=240 \\\\\\ b=\cfrac{240}{6}\implies b=40 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \overline{XY}=\overline{YZ}\implies 3a-5=a+11\implies 2a-5=11 \\\\\\ 2a=16\implies a=\cfrac{16}{2}\implies a=8](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%203b%2B70%2B50%2B3b%3D360%5Cimplies%206b%2B120%3D360%5Cimplies%206b%3D240%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%20b%3D%5Ccfrac%7B240%7D%7B6%7D%5Cimplies%20b%3D40%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20~%5Cdotfill%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Coverline%7BXY%7D%3D%5Coverline%7BYZ%7D%5Cimplies%203a-5%3Da%2B11%5Cimplies%202a-5%3D11%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%202a%3D16%5Cimplies%20a%3D%5Ccfrac%7B16%7D%7B2%7D%5Cimplies%20a%3D8)
The answer should be true
