Answer:

(x-4) is not a factor of f(x)=x³-2x²+5x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Uding the remainder theorem,(x-4) is a factor if the remainder is 0

Plug in x=4

(4)³-2(4)²+5(4)+1

64-32+20+1

64-53

You plant a rectangular rose garden along the side of your garage. You enclose 3 sides of the garden with 40 feet of fencing. Th

solmaris [256]

Let's assume

length of rectangle =L

width of rectangle =W

You enclose 3 sides of the garden with 40 feet of fencing

so, we get

$L+2W=40$

now, we can solve for L

$L=40-2W$

we know that

area of rectangle is

$A=L*W$

$100=L*W$

now, we can plug

$100=(40-2W)*W$

now, we can solve for W

$-2W^2+40W-100=0$

we can use quadratic formula

$W=\frac{-40+\sqrt{40^2-4\left(-2\right)\left(-100\right)}}{2\left(-2\right)}$

$W=\frac{-40-\sqrt{40^2-4\left(-2\right)\left(-100\right)}}{2\left(-2\right)}$

we can take anyone value ..because both are giving positive value

first dimensions:

$W=2.929$

now, we can find L

$L=40-2*2.929$

$L=34.142$

so, length is 34.142feet

width is 2.929 feet

Second dimensions:

$W=17.071$

now, we can find L

$L=40-2*17.071$

$L=5.858$

so, length is 5.858feet

width is 17.071 feet

4 cot theta<br>=<br>tan theta<br>how do I I find the value of quadrant?

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

4cotα=tanα

4(1/tanα)=tanα

(4/tanα)=tanα

cross multiply

=> 4=tan²α

√4=√tan²α

±2=tanα

α=arc( tan) |2|

α=63.4° ( in first quadrant)

and

α=180+63.4=243.4 in the third quadrant

since we also found a negative answer( i.e –2) then α also lies in quadrants where it gives a negative value(i.e second and fourth quadrants)

α=180–63.4=116.6° in the second quadrant

α=360–63.4=296.6 in the fourth quadrant

therefore theta( in my case, alpha) lies in all four quadrants and is equal to:

α=63.4°,243.4°,116.6°and 296.6°

At a restaurant there is 7% sales tax. If the bill was $8.64, how much would he be owed in total?

Andreas93 [3]

Ok, so in order to get tax on something you multiply the amount by the amount of tax in decimal form and then add back the original amount. So for this, you'd start with 8.64*0.07, which equals 0.6048. This rounds to 0.60. 8.64+0.60=9.24

So, he would owe $9.24 total.
