Answer:

3x³ - 14x² - 7x + d = (x + 1)(ax² + bx + c)

--------------------------

(x + 1)(ax² + bx + c)

= ax³ + bx² + cx + ax² + bx + c

= ax³ + (a + b)x² + (b + c)x + c

--------------------------

ax³ + (a + b)x² + (b + c)x + c = 3x³ - 14x² - 7x + d

=> a = 3

a + b = -14

b + c = -7

c = d

=> a = 3, b = -17, c = 10, d = 10

The population of a town can be modeled by the regression equation y = 20,000(1.03x). Which is the best prediction for the popul

bixtya [17]

Answer:

The best prediction for the population in year 25 is $41,876\ people$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have a exponential function of the form

$y=a(b^{x})$

where

a is the initial value

b is the base

In this problem

$a=20,000\ people$

$b=1.03$

$b=1+r$

$r=b-1=1.03-1=0.03$

$r=3\%$

$y=20,000(1.03^{x})$

For $x=25\ years$

substitute

$y=20,000(1.03^{25})$

$y=41,875.56\ people$

Round up

$y=41,876\ people$

The width of a triangle is six more than twice the height. The area of the triangle is 88in2. Find the height and base of the tr

malfutka [58]

For this case we have that by definition, the area of a triangle is given by:

$A = \frac {b * h} {2}$

Where:

b: It is the base of the triangle

h: It is the height of the triangle

According to the statement data we have:

$b = 6 + 2h$

Substituting we have:

$88 = \frac {(6 + 2h) * h} {2}\\176 = 6h + 2h ^ 2\\2h ^ 2 + 6h-176 = 0$

We divide between 2 on both sides:

$h ^ 2 + 3h-88 = 0$

We factor by looking for two numbers that, when multiplied, are obtained -88 and when added together, +3 is obtained.

These numbers are +11 and -8.

$(h + 11) (h-8) = 0$

We have two roots:

$h = -11\\h = 8$

We choose the positive value.

Thus, the base of the triangle is: $b = 6 + 2 (8) = 22$

Answer:

The base of the triangle is 22 units.

yawa3891 [41]

1. angle 1 = 50 degrees [ Reason is Given]
2. angle 1 and angle 5 are corresponding angles [Given]
3..Therefore angle1=angle 5 [ Corresponding angles are =]
4..Therefore angle 5 = 50 degrees [= angles have same measure]

The above assumes that we are talking about corresponding angles of congruent or similar polygons or corresponding angles forme when a transversal intersects two parallel lines
