Among all choices we have 5, so
x = 5
x - 5 = 0
Let's divide the expression by (x - 5) using the long division:
x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40
(x - 5) * x² = x³ - 5x² Subtract
____________________________
-6x² + 38x - 40
(x - 5) * (-6x) = -6x² + 30x Subtract
____________________________
8x - 40
(x - 5) * 8 = 8x - 40 Sutract
____________________________
0
Thus: x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40 = (x - 5)(x² - 6x + 8)
Now, let's simplify x² - 6x + 8.
x² - 6x + 8 = x² - 2x - 4x + 8 =
= x² - 2*x - (4*x - 4*2) =
= x(x - 2) - 4(x - 2) =
= (x - 4)(x - 2)
Hence:
x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40 = (x - 5)(x - 4)(x - 2)
To calculate zero:
x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40 = 0
(x - 5)(x - 4)(x - 2) = 0
x - 5 = 0 or x - 4 = 0 or x - 2 = 0
x = 5 or x = 4 or x = 2
Draw a rectangle 37 cm by 42 cm and then count how many 1cm by 1cm squares are inside it.
905 whatever that is (I forgot)
The height of flagpole is 12.5 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Height of woman = 5 foot
Shadow of woman = 6 feet
Ratio of height to shadow = 5:6
Shadow of flagpole = 15 foot
Height of flagpole = x
Ratio of height to shadow = x:15
Using proportion;
Ratio of height to shadow :: Ratio of height to shadow
Product of mean = Product of extreme
Dividing both sides by 6
The height of flagpole is 12.5 feet.
