Answer:
x=56 and the exterior angle is 116
Step-by-step explanation:
We will call the unknown angle in the triangle y. Angle y and the angle (2x +4) form a straight line so they make 180 degrees.
y + 2x+4 =180
Solve for y by subtracting 2x+4 from each side.
y + 2x+4 - (2x+4) =180 - (2x+4)
y = 180-2x-4
y = 176-2x
The three angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees
x+ y+ 60 = 180
x+ (176-2x)+60 = 180
Combine like terms
-x +236=180
Subtract 236 from each side
-x+236-236 = 180-236
-x = -56
Multiply each side by -1
-1*-x = -56*-1
x=56
The exterior angle is 2x+4. Substitute x=56 into the equation.
2(56)+4
112+4
116
The truth is it equals 50
The number of positive and negative roots or zeros of a polynomial function is predicted through the Descartes Rule of Sign. This was first described by Rene Descartes in his work La Geometrie. The technique is for determining an upper bound on the number of positive and negative real roots.
40 x (80/100)
= 32
So answer will be 32
