If x + 5 is a factor of the given polynomial, then (x + 5) must divide the polynomial evenly, meaning that the remainder is 0 when the polynomial is divided by x + 5.

We can use polynomial long division or synthetic division to find the quotient and remainder, but it's easier to use the fact that if x + 5 is a factor, then (-5) must be a root of the polynomial.

So, we can substitute x = -5 into the polynomial and set it equal to 0 to find m:

-3(-5)^4 - 10(-5)^3 + 20(-5)^2 - 22(-5) + m = 0

Simplifying and solving for m:

-3(625) + 10(125) + 20(25) + 110 + m = 0

-1875 + 1250 + 500 + 110 + m = 0

m = 1015

Therefore, m = 1015 so that x + 5 is a factor of - 3x^4 - 10x^3 + 20x^2 - 22x + m.

Answer:

1, -9

Step-by-step explanation:

xy = -9

x + y = -8    solve this for x and substitute into the 1st equation

x = -8 - y

(-8 - y)y = -9

-y² - 8y + 9 = 0

y² + 8y -9 = 0

Solve for y by factoring:

(y - 1)(y + 9) = 0

y = 1, -9

x(1) = -9

x = -9

x(-9) = -9

x = -9/-9 = 1

Answer:

[tex]sec(-\theta)=-3.1[/tex]

[tex]sin(-\theta)=-0.62[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a.

[tex]sec(\theta)[/tex] is related to [tex]cos(\theta)[/tex] through a reciprocal relationship [tex]sec(\theta)=\frac{1}{cos(\theta)}[/tex].

Since [tex]cos(\theta)[/tex] is an even function (reflecting left-right across the y-axis doesn't change the graph), then [tex]sec(\theta)[/tex] is also an even function.

For any input in the domain, even functions produce the same output if the opposite of the input is used.  In other words, if "f" is an even function, for all x in the domain of f, [tex]f(x)=f(-x)[/tex].

Thus, for the secant function, if a mystery value "x" is used as an input, and -3.1 is obtained as an output, then if the opposite of x, or -x, is input into the secant function, the output will also be -3.1.

[tex]sec(-\theta)=-3.1[/tex]

Part b.

The [tex]sin(\theta)[/tex] function does not reflect left-right across the y-axis to produce the same graph, so the sine function is not even.

However, the sine function can be rotated 180 degree about the origin, sometimes thought of as reflecting through the origin, to produce the same graph.  Visually, this is an "odd" function.

For any input in the domain, if the opposite of the input is used, odd functions produce the opposite of the original output.  In other words, if "g" is an odd function, for all x in the domain of g, [tex]-g(x)=g(-x)[/tex].

Thus, for the sine function, if a mystery value "x" is used as an input, and 0.62 is obtained as an output, then if the opposite of x, or -x, is input into the sine function, the output will be the opposite of 0.62, meaning -0.62.

[tex]sin(-\theta)=-0.62[/tex]

The probability that the woman's height is between 62.9 in and 63.9 in is 0.1580

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

So, the z-scores are

z = (62.9 - 63.6)/2.5 = -0.28

z = (63.9 - 63.6)/2.5 = 0.12

i.e. between a z-score of -0.28 and a z-score of 0.12

This is represented as

Probability = (-0.28 < z < 0.12)

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the logarithmic identity logb(a^n) = n*logb(a) to solve this problem.

First, we need to express 4 as a power of 2. We know that 2^2 = 4, so we can write:

log4 = log2^2

Then we can use the identity to rewrite this as:

log4 = 2*log2

Now we can use the given approximation log2 ≈ 0.4307 to approximate log4:

log4 ≈ 2 * 0.4307

log4 ≈ 0.8614

Therefore, the answer is (A) 0.8614.

Answer:

the function f(x) is f(x) = 5x + 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find f(x), we need to use the formula:

(gof)(x) = g(f(x)) = 3f(x) - 2

We are given that (gof)(x) = 15x + 10, so we can substitute this expression into the formula to get:

3f(x) - 2 = 15x + 10

Simplifying this equation, we get:

3f(x) = 15x + 12

Dividing both sides by 3, we get:

f(x) = 5x + 4

Therefore, the function f(x) is f(x) = 5x + 4.

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find h so the first step is to subtract the 11 from the 20

3/4h=9

Then to move the 3/4 over to the other side, you must multiply it by it's reciprocal, 4/3.

h= 4/3 x 9

This equals 12.

The probability of getting blue or green is 1/3, the probability of getting blue is 3/4 and there are 8 blue marbles.

a) If the probability of getting a yellow marble is 2/3, then the probability of getting a blue or green marble is:

P(blue or green) = 1 - P(yellow) = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3

b) If the probability of getting a green marble is 1/4, then the probability of getting a blue marble is:

P(blue) = 1 - P(green) = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4

c) The total number of marbles in the bag is 24. Let x be the number of blue marbles. Then the number of yellow marbles is 2x, and the number of green marbles is 24 - x - 2x = 24 - 3x. We know that:

2x/24 = 2/3 (probability of getting a yellow marble is 2/3)

=> x = 8

Therefore, there are 8 blue marbles in the bag.

The vector v can be expressed as v = -0.161 i + 0.618 j, where i and j are the unit vectors

To express a vector v in terms of i and j, we need to find its x and y components. The magnitude ||v|| of a vector is given by:

||v|| = √(v₁² + v₂²)

where v₁ and v₂ are the x and y components of v, respectively.

The direction angle θ of a vector with respect to the positive x-axis is given by:

θ = atan(v₂/v₁)

where atan denotes the arctangent function.

In this problem, we are given that the magnitude ||v|| of the vector v is 2/3, and its direction angle θ with respect to the positive x-axis is 116 degrees. Therefore, we can write:

||v|| = √(v₁² + v₂²) = 2/3

θ = atan(v₂/v₁) = 116°

Solving for the x and y components, we get:

v₁ = ||v|| cos(θ) = (2/3) cos(116°) ≈ -0.161

v₂ = ||v|| sin(θ) = (2/3) sin(116°) ≈ 0.618

Therefore, the vector v can be expressed as:

v = -0.161 i + 0.618 j

where i and j are the unit vectors in the x and y directions, respectively.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the formula for continuous compounding to determine how long it will take each account to reach $1,800.

For Michael's account, the formula is:

A = P*e^(rt)

where:

A is the amount in the account after t years

P is the principal

r is the annual interest rate

t is the time in years

Plugging in the values given, we get:

1,800 = 1,000*e^(0.0475t)

Taking the natural logarithm of both sides, we get:

ln(1,800/1,000) = 0.0475t

t = ln(1,800/1,000)/0.0475

t ≈ 8.55 years

So it will take approximately 8.55 years for Michael's account to reach $1,800.

Similarly, for Peter's account, the formula is:

A = P*e^(rt)

where:

A is the amount in the account after t years

P is the principal

r is the annual interest rate

t is the time in years

Plugging in the values given, we get:

1,800 = 1,200*e^(0.0425t)

Taking the natural logarithm of both sides, we get:

ln(1,800/1,200) = 0.0425t

t = ln(1,800/1,200)/0.0425

t ≈ 9.03 years

So it will take approximately 9.03 years for Peter's account to reach $1,800.

Therefore, Michael's account will grow to $1,800 first as it will take less time (8.55 years) compared to Peter's account (9.03 years).

-[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]/2

Step-by-step explanation:

cos is negative in quad II

cos(210)= -cos(30) = -[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]/2

If the line passes through the point (2,8) that cuts off the least area from the first quadrant, the slope is 8/3 and the y-intercept is 0.

To find the equation of the line that passes through the point (2, 8) and cuts off the least area from the first quadrant, we need to first determine the slope of the line. The slope-intercept form of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line to find the slope. The point-slope form is y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where (x₁, y₁) is a point on the line. Plugging in (2, 8) as the point, we get:

y - 8 = m(x - 2)

Next, we want to minimize the area that the line cuts off in the first quadrant. Since the line passes through the origin (0, 0), the area cut off by the line in the first quadrant is equal to the product of the x- and y-intercepts of the line.

We can express the x-intercept in terms of y by setting y = 0 in the equation of the line and solving for x:

0 - 8 = m(x - 2)

x = 2 + 8/m

The y-intercept is simply the y-coordinate of the point where the line intersects the y-axis, which is given by:

y = mx + b

8 = 2m + b

b = 8 - 2m

We can now express the area cut off by the line as:

A = x*y

A = (2 + 8/m)*8 - (8 - 2m)*2/m

A = (16 + 64/m) - (16 - 4m)/m

A = 64/m + 4m/m

To minimize the area, we can take the derivative of A with respect to m and set it equal to zero:

dA/dm = -64/m² + 4/m² = 0

64 = 4

m = 8

Plugging m = 8 into the equation for the x-intercept, we get:

x = 2 + 8/8 = 3

So the equation of the line is y = 8x/3.

The numbers in the bottom row of the synthetic division represent the coefficients of the quotient polynomial, in order of decreasing degree. So the quotient polynomial is:

Therefore, the other factor of the polynomial is 2x^2 + 506x - 423.

The speed in miles per hour is 111.2 and the direction angle in degrees is 260.2.

We are given the speed of a plane on a bearing of N [tex]75^\circ[/tex] E and its ground speed. We have to find its speed in miles per hour and the direction angle in degrees. We will apply the formula of projection for both the x-axis and y-axis.

As we know, projection, R = V + W

Now, the x-axis projection will be R cos[tex]15^\circ[/tex] according to the angle given to us. Therefore, R cos [tex]15^\circ[/tex] = V cos[tex]30^\circ[/tex] + [tex]W_{x}[/tex]

The y-axis projection,

R sin [tex]15^\circ[/tex] = V sin [tex]30^\circ[/tex] + [tex]W_{y}[/tex]

From here, now we will find [tex]W_{x}{[/tex] and [tex]W_{y}[/tex]

[tex]W_{x}{[/tex] = 330 cos[tex]15^\circ[/tex] - 390 cos[tex]30^\circ[/tex]

[tex]W_{x}[/tex] = -19 miles/hour

[tex]W_{y}[/tex] = 330 sin[tex]15^\circ[/tex] - 390 sin[tex]30^\circ[/tex]

[tex]W_{y}{[/tex] = -109.6 miles per hour

Now, W = [tex]\sqrt{(W_{x})^{2} + (W_{y})^{2{}}[/tex]

W = [tex]\sqrt{(-19.0)^{2} + (-109.6})^{2{}}[/tex]

W = 111.2 miles/hour

Now, we will find the angle with the help of tan θ.

tan θ = [tex]\frac{W_{y}}{W_{x}}[/tex]

tan θ = [tex]\frac{-109.6}{-19.0}[/tex]

θ =  [tex]tan ^{-1} (\frac{109.6}{19.0})[/tex]

θ = 260.[tex]2^\circ[/tex]

The given function does not represent the curve passing through the given points. The multiplicative rate of change of the function is 5.

A curve is a continuous, smooth line that gradually alters direction. Rather than being straight line that follows a curve may be referred to as a curve line. A curve line can be made by connecting a number of non-straight-line-lying sites. In mathematics, a curve is a geometrical object that can be described by equations, such as parametric or function equations.

The rate of change of a function is the ratio of the change in the output (y) to the change in the input (x). In this case, we can calculate the rate of change between the first two points:

Changing at what rate between (1, 10) and (2, 50)?

Y change = 50 – 10 = 40

Variation in x = 2 - 1 = 1

Rate of change equals change in y/change in x, or 40/1, or 40.

In a similar manner, we can determine how quickly the second and third points will change:

The change between (2, 50) and (3, 250) is as follows:

Changing y by 250 - 50 equals 200

Variation in x = 3 - 2 = 1

Rate of change equals change in y/change in x, which is 200/1, or 200.

Now that we have the second rate of change, we can compute the multiplicative rate of change by dividing it by the first:

Multiplicative rate of change is equal to 200/40, or 5.

The function's multiplicative rate of change is thus 5.

The value of x in the equation y = 9 sec(2x) at [0, π/4) ∪ (π/4, π/2] is x = 1/2[sec₋¹(y/9)]

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

y = 9 sec(2x)

The interval of x is also given as

[0, π/4) ∪ (π/4, π/2]

This means that the values of x is from 0 to π/2, however, the function is undefined at x = π/4 i.e. there is a hole at x = π/4

Next, we set the equation to y

So, we have

9 sec(2x) = y

Divide both sides by 9

sec(2x) = y/9

Take the arc sec of both sides of the equation

2x = sec₋¹(y/9)

Divide both sides by 9

x = 1/2[sec₋¹(y/9)]

Hence, the value of x is x = 1/2[sec₋¹(y/9)]
