Hi,
I need help with checking if these are correct.
Thank you!
A. Factor the following polynomials completely.
1. 125x^3 + 64
(5x)^3 + 43
125x^3 + 64 = (5x + 4) ( (5x)^2 - (5x) (4) + 42 )
(5x + 4) ( 25x^2 - 20x + 16 )
2. x^9 + 1
(x^3)^3 + 1^3
x^9 + 1 = (x + 1) (x^2 - (x) (1) + 1^2)
(x + 1) (x^2 - x + 1)
3. 2m^4 - 2mn^3
2m^3
2m^3 (m) - 2m^3 (n)
2m^3 (m - n)
4. 3a^4 + 81a
3a
3a (a^3) + 3a (27)
3a (a^3 + 27)
B. Can these be factored using the methods (GCF, squares, cubes) discussed in this lesson? Yes or No? Explain why or why not in a complete sentence.
5. 7x^5 - 64y
This can't be factored, because 7 and 64 don't share a GCF.
6. a^4 + 1
This can't be factored, because sum of squares cannot be factored using real numbers.
7. a^4 – 64
This can be factored with the difference of squares which leads to the answer: (a^2 + 8) (a^2 - 8)
C. Factor completely using Grouping
8. xy – 5y – 2x + 10
y (x - 5) - 2 (x - 5)
(x - 5) (y - 2)
9. x^3 + x^2 - x – 1
x^2 (x +1) - 1 (x + 1)
(x + 1) (x^2 - 1)

Hi Bob,
What is confusing me right now is that from the formula in D it turns out to be 2 diagonals.
(4-3)* 4/2=
= 1*2
=2 diagonals
The statement says that it has 2 diagonals. Given is when the statement is given, it means that it is provided to me in the problem. That is why I was going for given in this exercise.
Hello!!
I have completed a lesson about proofs. I am unsure about two questions I've answered.
3. I have drawn a polygon with eight sides, so it must be an octagon.
A. Definition of supplementary angles
B. unfounded
C. Definition of radius
D. 1267200 inches
E. Definition of an octagon
F. Given
For this one I have selected alternative E, definition of an octagon, because it defines what an octagon is.
4. A square has two diagonals.
A. Given
B. unfounded
C. Definition of an octagon
D. The number of diagonals is (n-3)n/2, where n is the number of sides, which is 4 for a square.
E. 1267200 inches
F. Definition of supplementary angles
For this one I have chosen alternative A, given, because a square has 2 diagonals and that is the exact thing that the statement is saying.
Am I correct in these two?
Thank you for your help, I appreciate it!!
I think I finally got Q4!!! In the exercise it says this: (Draw from one to the next in the order given,
and then draw from the last back to the first). When I connect the points in the given order I notice that I create two right triangles that meet at the right angles. So, the right alternative is D.
Hi Bob,
So the right answer for Q14 would be the 4 * sqrt 13, or alternative D.
I'm sorry, but I'm still confused in Q4. Even if I put them in the order given in the exercise, the figure that comes out is a rhombus. I'm not sure what exactly I'm doing wrong.
Hello,
I am having trouble with two exercises related to this subject.
The first one states:
4.
What shape do these four points make? (Draw from one to the next in the order given,
and then draw from the last back to the first).
(0,-1), (0,3), (1,1), (-1,1)
A. A square
B. Two acute angles that meet at the acute angles
C. A triangle
D. Two right triangles that meet at the right angles
E. A rhombus
F. Two obtuse triangles that meet at the hypotenuse
My problem is that the figure that comes out is a rhombus, which is the same figure for exercise 3. I am getting confused in whether I'm right or not.
The second exercise is:
Find the distance between the two points:
14. (9, 0) and (-3, -8)
A. 4
B. √(61)
C. √(290)
D. 4[√(13)]
E. 5[√(17)]
F. 3[√(180)]
This is what I've done:
distance = sqrt (-3-9)^2 + (-8-0)^2
d = sqrt (-12)^2 + (-8)^2
d = sqrt 144+64
d = sqrt 208
The problem is that my result is not an alternative.
Thank you in advance!!!
Hello,
Thank you for your help! I figured it out and waiting to see what my teacher will say.
Hello Bob,
So, here is what I have figured out:
central angle = 360°/5=72°
2 * side angle + central angle = 180°
2SA + 72° = 180°
SA = 54°
sin = opposite/adjacent
sin 54° = h/4
h is approximately 3.2cm
cos = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos 54° = x/4
x is approximately 2.4cm
A = 1/2bh
A = 1/2 * 4.8 * 3.2
A = 7.68cm^2
Is that correct?
Hello,
Thank you for the explanation! I have written the solution on my notebook, is it okay if I post it here so that I can check it's correct?
Hello,
I'm having trouble solving this problem:
A pentagon’s radius (measure from center to vertex) measures 4 cm, what is the pentagon’s area?
I'm guessing that I'll have to solve this problem by using triangles. What is getting me confused is that I only have one measurement and can't think of how I can solve it? Would appreciate if someone could mentor me in solving it.
