Answer: 0, 1, -3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^3 +2x^2 -3x

f(x) = x(x^2 +2x-3)

f(x) = x(x-1)(x+3)

to find zeroes, plug into f(x) and solve for each value of x. doing this gives 0, 1, and -3

What is the measure of arc bc? A. 76 B. 40 C. 96 D. 58

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

A. 76

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle A is half the difference between the measures of arc DE and BC.

m∠A = (1/2)(DE -BC)

20 = (1/2)(116 -BC) . . . . substitute the given values

40 = 116 -BC . . . . . . . . multiply by 2

BC = 116 -40 . . . . . . . . add BC -40

BC = 76

Comment on intersecting secants

When the secants intersect inside the circle, the angle where they cross is half the sum of the intercepted arcs. When they intersect outside the circle (as here), the angle where they meet is half the difference of the intercepted acs.

Sometimes it is easier to remember two related relationships than it is to remember just one of them.

What is 5.8×10^6 seconds in minutes?

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

9.66 x 10⁴ minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert seconds into minutes, simply divide by 60.

=> 5.8 x 10⁶ / 60

=> 580 x 10⁴ / 60

=> 29 x 10⁴ / 3

=> 9.66 x 10⁴ minutes

Answer:

$x=\frac{15}{4}=3\frac{3}{4}$

Equation:

$\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{5}{6} =\frac{10}{3}$

<h3>Step-by-step solution</h3>

Linear equations with one unknown

_____________________________________

1. Group all constants on the right side of the equation

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x+\frac{5}{6}=\frac{10}{3}$

Subtract $5/6$ from both sides:

$\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{5}{6}-\frac{5}{6}=\frac{10}{3}-\frac{5}{6}$

Combine the fractions:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x+\frac{5-5}{6}=\frac{10}{3}-\frac{5}{6}$

Combine the numerators:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x+\frac{0}{6}=\frac{10}{3}-\frac{5}{6}$

Reduce the zero numerator:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x+0=\frac{10}{3}-\frac{5}{6}$

Simplify the arithmetic:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{10}{3}-\frac{5}{6}$

Find the lowest common denominator:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{10\cdot 2}{3\cdot 2}+\frac{-5}{6}$

Multiply the denominators:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{10\cdot 2}{6}+\frac{-5}{6}$

Multiply the numerators:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{20}{6}+\frac{-5}{6}$

Combine the fractions:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{20-5}{6}$

Combine the numerators:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{15}{6}$

Find the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{5\cdot 3}{2\cdot 3}$

Factor out and cancel the greatest common factor:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{5}{2}$

2. Isolate the x

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{5}{2}$

Multiply both sides by inverse fraction 3/2:

$\frac{2}{3}x\cdot \frac{3}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\cdot \frac{3}{2}$

Group like terms:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot \frac{3}{2}x=\frac{5}{2}\cdot \frac{3}{2}$

Simplify the fraction:

$x=\frac{5}{2}\cdot \frac{3}{2}$

Multiply the fractions:

$x=\frac{5\cdot 3}{2\cdot 2}$

Simplify the arithmetic:

$x=\frac{15}{2\cdot 2}$

Simplify the arithmetic:

$x=\frac{15}{4}$

Why learn this

Linear equations cannot tell you the future, but they can give you a good idea of what to expect so you can plan ahead. How long will it take you to fill your swimming pool? How much money will you earn during summer break? What are the quantities you need for your favorite recipe to make enough for all your friends?

Linear equations explain some of the relationships between what we know and what we want to know and can help us solve a wide range of problems we might encounter in our everyday lives.
