If -1 and 2 are the two zeros of the polynomial x3-4x2-7x+10 find the third zero

note that the zeroes should be x = 1 and x = - 2 not x = - 1 and x = 2

the factors are then ( x - 1 ) and (x + 2)

and x³ - 4x² - 7x + 10 = (x - 1 )(x + 2) = x² + x - 2

thus x² + x - 2 is a factor

dividing x³ - 4x² - 7x + 10 by x² + x - 2 gives x - 5

the third zero is x = 5

check : (5)³ -4(5)² - 7(5) + 10 = 125 - 100 - 35 + 10 = 0

A square has vertices T(1,2), U(4,2), V(4,5), W(1,5). If the square is rotated clockwise 90 degrees around (0,0), what are the c

<span>(5,-1) The key to this problem is ignoring all the information that you don't need. You really don't care about the coordinates for T, U, or V. Just W is all that matters. So make a graph, label the X and Y axis, and put a point at (1,5). Now simply turn the entire paper clockwise 90 degrees. If you do this, you'll see that what was the X axis is now the Y axis. And what was the Y axis is now the X axis. Label the axis again, and read the location of the point you marked. If you do so, you'll see that you have to go 5 spaces along the X axis, hence the 5. And you'll go 1 space down on the Y axis, hence the -1. So the coordinates of W(1,5) rotated 90 degrees clockwise around (0,0) changes to (5,-1).</span>

Verify the pythagorean identity 1 + c o t ^2 θ = c s c ^2 θ
Grace [21]

Answer: The identity is verified. See the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

You must keep on mind the following identities:

csc\theta=\frac{cos\theta}{sin\theta}\\\\csc\theta=\frac{1}{sin\theta}\\\\sin^2\theta+cos^2\theta=1

Therefore, by substitution, you can rewrite the identity as shown below:

1+cot^2\theta=csc^2\theta\\\\1+\frac{cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta}=csc^2\theta

Simpliying, you obtain:

\frac{sin^2\theta+cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta}=csc^2\theta\\\\\frac{1}{sin^2\theta}=csc^2\theta\\\\csc^2\theta=csc^2\theta

The identity is verified.
