Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side of the triangle be a and that of the new one be a'.

a'/a = 3/1      Insert the value of a

a'/6 = 3        Multiply each side by 6

  a' = 18

The measure of a side of the new triangle is 18.

Answer: 18 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • When a segment 'm' is dilated by a scale factor 'k' , then the measure of new dilated segment will be 'km'  [i.e. New side length =scale factor is multiplied to the original side-length].

Given : An equilateral triangle is dilated by a scale factor of 3.

[Note an equilateral triangle has all its side-lengths are equal.]

Side-length of the original triangle = 6 units

Then, the measure of a side of the new triangle = Scale factor x Original side-length

= 3 x 6 = 18 units

Hence, the measure of a side of the new triangle = 18 units.

Divide the polynomial x^3+x^2-2x+3 by (x-1)​
Anni [7]

Answer:

x² + 2x + (3 / (x − 1))

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by setting up the division:

.........____________

x − 1 | x³ + x² − 2x + 3

Start with the first term, x³.  Divided by x, that's x².  So:

.........____x²______

x − 1 | x³ + x² − 2x + 3

Multiply x − 1 by x², subtract the result, and drop down the next term:

.........____x²______

x − 1 | x³ + x² − 2x + 3

.........-(x³ − x²)

...........----------

...................2x² − 2x

Repeat the process over again.  First term is 2x².  Divided by x is 2x.  So:

.........____x² + 2x __

x − 1 | x³ + x² − 2x + 3

.........-(x³ − x²)

...........----------

...................2x² − 2x

Multiply, subtract the result, and drop down the next term:

.........____x² + 2x __

x − 1 | x³ + x² − 2x + 3

.........-(x³ − x²)

...........----------

...................2x² − 2x

.................-(2x² − 2x)

.................---------------

.....................................3

x doesn't divide into 3, so that's the remainder.

Therefore, the answer is:

x² + 2x + (3 / (x − 1))
