Step-by-step explanation:
We are given (x+3) is a factor of , which means if were to plug in -3, the result is 0.
Let's write that down:
So the cubic equation is actually that they wish we solve for .
To find another factor of the given cubic expression on the left, I'm going to use synthetic division with that polynomial and (x+3) where (x+3) is divisor. Since (x+3) is the divisor, -3 will be on the outside like so:
-3 | 1 4 4 3
| -3 -3 -3
---------------------
1 1 1 0
So the other factor of is .
We must solve .
Compare this to .
We have .
The quadratic formula is
.
Plug in the numbers we have for .
.
Simplify inside the square root while also performing the one operation on bottom:
Now our answer will include an imaginary part because of that sqrt(negative number).
The imaginary unit is .
So our final answer is:
45 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both figures are similar, the ratio of their similar sides will be equal to a constant. Hence;
8/10 = 12/EH
8EH = 12 * 10
8EH = 120
EH = 120/8
EH = 15
Perimeter of EFGH = 15 + 10 + 5 + 15 = 45 units
