The right answer is c. –2.24, 2, 2.24
This question needs to be solved in two ways. First, using a graphing calculator. Next, using a system of equations.
1. Using a graphing calculator.
We have the following polynomial equation:
By ordering this equation we have:
So, we can say that this equation comes from a function given by:
Thus, by plotting this function, we have that the graph of this function is indicated in Figure 1. By zooming, we can see, in Figure 2, that the roots of the polynomial equation are the x-intercepts of which are:
Finally, rounding noninteger roots to the nearest hundredth we have:
2. Using a system of equations.
The ordered equation is:
By arranging to factor out we have:
Then, by factoring:
Term is a common factor, thus:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If your mind works better in degrees than it does radians, as does mine, it will be beneficial to us to see what degree measure this angle is. Convert it to degrees using the fact that 180° = π:
degrees
Now that we know that, we can plot that angle in a coordinate plane. The terminal side of the angle lands in quadrant 2. To find the reference angle, we subtract 120 from 180 and get that the reference angle is 60 degrees, which is the same as π/3.
