The scale drawing of an elephant shows a height of 2 cm. The scale for the drawing is 1 cm : 5 ft. This means that for every 1 c

m on the drawing, there are 5 ft on the real elephant. What is the height of the actual elephant?

Find the roots of the equation x^3-3x^2+x+5

leonid [27]

First observe that x=-1 is a root of the equation. Use long division to divide x^3-3x^2+x+5 by x+1, we find that (x^3-3x^2+x+5)/(x+1)=(x^2-4x+5). Now we need to find the roots of x^2-4x+5.
x^2-4x+5=0,
x^2-4x+4=-1,
(x-2)^2=i,
x-2=i or -1,
x=2+i or 2-i.
The three roots are 2+i, 2-i, -1.

Using polygon STUVW what is m angle U ?

bija089 [108]

Answer:

The m∠ U is 72°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\angle S = 90\\\angle T = 2x\\\angle U = x\\\angle V = 2x\\\angle W = 90\\$

To find :

$\angle U = x = ?$

Solution:

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon with 'n' sides is given as

$\textrm{sum of the measures of angle of a polygon with 'n' sides} = (n - 1)\times 180$

Here we have n = 5 on substituting the values we get

$\angle S +\angle T + \angle U +\angle V + \angle W = (5 -2)\times 180\\90 + 2x + x + 2x + 90 = 3\times 180\\5x + 180 = 540\\5x = 540-180\\5x = 360\\x = \frac{360}{5}\\x = 72$

Therefore,

m∠ U is 72°.

9 - 10x = 2x + 1 - 8x

Furkat [3]

Answer:

$x=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$9 - 10x = 2x + 1 - 8x$

$9-10x=-6x+1$

Subtract 9 from both sides:

$9-10x-9=-6x+1-9$

$-10x=-6x-8$

Add 6x to both sides:

$-10x+6x=-6x-8+6x$

$-4x=-8$

Divide both sides by -4:

$\frac{-4x}{-4}=\frac{-8}{-4}$

$x=2$
