Answer:
C. Kalena made a mistake in Step 3. The justification should state: -x²
+ x²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function x(x - 1)(x + 1) = x3 - X
To justify kelena proof
We will need to show if the two equations are equal.
Starting from the RHS with function x³-x
First we will factor out the common factor which is 'x' to have;
x(x²-1)
Factorising x²-1 using the difference of two square will give;
x(x+1)(x-1)
Note that for two real number a and b, the expansion of a²-b² using difference vof two square will give;
a²-b² = (a+b)(a-b) hence;
Factorising x²-1 using the difference of two square will give;
x(x+1)(x-1)
Factorising x(x+1) gives x²+x, therefore
x(x+1)(x-1) = (x²+x)(x-1)
(x²+x)(x-1) = x³-x²+x²-x
The function x³-x²+x²-x gotten shows that kelena made a mistake in step 3, the justification should be -x²+x² not -x-x²
Answer:68.3 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram of the triangle ABC is shown in the attached photo. We would determine the length of side AB. It is equal to a. We would apply the cosine rule which is expressed as follows
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2abCos C
Looking at the triangle,
b = 75 miles
a = 80 miles.
Angle ACB = 180 - 42 = 138 degrees. Therefore
c^2 = 80^2 + 75^2 - 2 × 80 × 75Cos 138
c^2 = 6400 + 5625 - 12000Cos 138
c^2 = 6400 + 5625 - 12000 × -0.7431
c^2 = 12025 + 8917.2
c = √20942.2 = 144.7
To determine A, we will apply sine rule
a/SinA = b/SinB = c/SinC. Therefore,
80/SinA = 144.7/Sin 138
80Sin 138 = 144.7 SinA
SinA = 53.528/144.7 = 0.3699
A = 21.7 degrees
Therefore, theta = 90 - 21.7
= 68.3 degees
Answer:
102 and 103
Step-by-step explanation:
F=length of first piece=x; S=length of second piece=2x
T=length of third piece=3x
.
F+S+T=24 inches
x+2x+3x=24 inches
6x=24in
F=x=4in
ANSWER 1: The length of the first piece is 4 inches.
.
S=2x=2(4in)=8in
ANSWER 2: The length of the second piece is 8 inches.
.
T=3x=3(4in)=12 inches.
ANSWER 3: The length of the third piece is 12 inches.
.
CHECK:
F+S+T=24in
4in+8in+12in=24in
24in=24in
