Answer:

x ≈ 9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ ABC is right with ∠ C = 90° ( angle between tangent and radius )

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

x² + 14² = 17²

x² + 196 = 289 ( subtract 196 from both sides )

x² = 93 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = $\sqrt{93}$ ≈ 9.6 ( to the nearest tenth )

Given the polynomial 2x3 + 18x2 − 18x − 162, what is the value of the coefficient 'k' in the factored form?2x3 + 18x2 − 18x − 16

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

$k=3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

$f(x)=2x^3+18x^2-18x-162$

We factor 2 to obtain;

$f(x)=2(x^3+9x^2-9x-81)$

We factor the polynomial within the parenthesis by grouping.

$f(x)=2(x^2(x+9)-9(x+9)$

$f(x)=2(x^2-9)(x+9)$

$f(x)=2(x^2-3^2)(x+9)$

We apply difference of two squares on the second factor: $x^2-3^2=(x-3)(x+3)$

$f(x)=2(x+3)(x-3)(x+9)$

We now compare to;

$f(x)=2(x+k)(x-k)(x+9)$

It is now obvious that $k=3$

valina [46]

Answer:

The big prism= $\frac{25}{18}$ feet squared

Each individual cube= 216 inches squared

Step-by-step explanation:

The big prism LxWxH

The individual cube = 1 foot/6 (amount of edges made of small cubes) = 2 inches.

IDK how to convert from inches to feet though cause I ain't American. Sorry.

Hope that helped!!! k
