Since it's , move the decimal over 3 places to the right. When you do that the answer should now be .
Hope this helps!
The trial and error method is used to find an initial factor:
If we let f(x) = x³ - x² - 24x - 36 and all we have to do is sub' in values of x until
f(x) = 0, we can use this to find an initial factor by the factor theorem:
f(1) = (1)³ - (1)² - 24(1) - 36 = -60
f(2) = (2)³ - (2)² - 24(2) - 36 = -80
f(5) = (5)³ - (5)² - 24(5) - 36 = -56
*** f(6) = (6)³ - (6)² - 24(6) - 36 = 0 ***
f(6) = 0 so (x - 6) is a factor of f(x).
This means that: f(x) = x³ - x² - 24x - 36 = (x - 6)(ax² + bx + c).
To find a,b and c, use long division (or inspection) to divide x³ - x² - 24x - 36 by x - 6.
The other 2 factors of f(x) can then be found by factorizing the
ax² + bx + c quadratic the way you would with any other quadratic (i.e. by quadratic formula, CTS or inspection).
Answer:
First angle is 71, and the other is 19
A complementary angle is 90, so 71 + 19 = 90, while having a 52 degree difference
Since 6x - 44 and 88 degrees are the same (exterior angles), we can start off with the first equation, 6x - 44 = 88
6x - 44 = 88
+44 +44
6x = 132
÷6 ÷6
x = 22
same with the second problem (exterior angles are equal):
equation:
15x + 6 = 9x + 54
-6 -6
15x = 9x + 48
-9x -9x
6x = 48
÷6 ÷6
x = 8
Hope this helped! :D
Yes, these are equivalent
