Given that x² -x -2 is a factor of x³ +3 x² +ax +b, calculate the values of a and b and hence find the remaining factor.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]a = -6, b = - 8[/tex]

Remaining factor = [tex]x+4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Two polynomials:

[tex]x^{2} -x-2[/tex] and [tex]x^3 +3 x^2 +ax +b[/tex]

[tex]x^{2} -x-2[/tex] is a factor of [tex]x^3 +3 x^2 +ax +b[/tex].

To find:

The values of [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex] from the cubic equation and the remaining factor.

Solution:

Let us first of all, factorize [tex]x^{2} -x-2[/tex].

[tex]x^{2} -2x+x-2=0\\\Rightarrow x(x-2)+1(x-2)=0\\\Rightarrow (x+1)(x-2)=0\\\Rightarrow x = -1, 2[/tex]

There are two factors of the given quadratic equation.

These two factors must also be factors of the cubic equation as well.

Putting [tex]x = 2[/tex]:

[tex]2^3 +3 \times 2^2 +a\times 2 +b =0\\\Rightarrow 2a+b=-20 ..... (1)[/tex]

Putting [tex]x = -1[/tex]:

[tex](-1)^3 +3 \times (-1)^2 +a\times (-1) +b =0\\\Rightarrow -a+b=-2 ..... (2)[/tex]

Subtracting (2) from (1):

[tex]3a = -18\\\Rightarrow a = -6[/tex]

From equation (1):

[tex]2\times (-6) + b=-20\\\Rightarrow b = -8[/tex]

Putting the values of [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex] in the cubic equation, we get:

[tex]x^3 +3 x^2 -6x -8[/tex]

Dividing the cubic equation with quadratic, we get:

[tex]\dfrac{x^3 +3 x^2 -6x -8}{x^{2} -x-2} = x+4[/tex]

Jordana drew the function below. Which statement correctly explains whether or not her function is linear?

On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up.
It is linear because it has a constant rate of change.
It is linear because it does not have a constant rate of change.
It is not linear because it has a constant rate of change.
It is not linear because it does not have a constant rate of change.

Answers

Answer:

It is not linear because it does not have a constant rate of change

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for Jordana's graph

From the attachment, it'll be observed that the graph has a curved line.

This means that the graph is not a linear and does not represent a linear function.

In functions, a linear representation has a constant slope (in other words, constant rate of change) while non linear representations do not.

So, since we've been able to establish that the graph is non linear, then we can conclude that the graph do not have a constant slope.

Base on the analysis above and from the list of given options, option (d) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

treat the ? as an x. you need to get it by itself. but first you should distribute the 8.

8x + 24 = 48 +24

8x+24 = 72

take the 24 and subtract it from 72

8x= 48

now divide both sides by 8

x= 6

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8(6 + 3) =48+24

8(9) = 48+24

Ryan and his brother, Russell, made photo frames for their grandma's birthday. They used shells they collected from the beach near her house. Ryan glued 9 white shells and 15 orange shells to the border of his frame. Russell glued 8 white shells and 10 orange shells to the border of his frame. Did the two frames have the same ratio of white shells to orange shells?

Answers

Answer: No. The two frames does not have the same ratio of white shells to orange shells.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ryan glued 9 white shells and 15 orange shells to the border of his frame. This will give us a fraction of:

9/15 = 3/5

The ratio is 3:5

Russell glued 8 white shells and 10 orange shells to the border of his frame. This will give us a fraction of:

= 8/10 = 4/5

The ratio will be 4:5.

Therefore, the two frames does not have the same ratio of white shells to orange shells.

Find x such that f(x) = 10 given f(x) = 4x+2

Answers

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

So you make the equation equal. f(x)=10 so you would put it as 10=4x+2, than you subtract two from both sides making it 8=4x and than divide both sides by 4 making it 2=x.

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf x=2}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

[tex]f(x)=4x+2 \\f(x)= 10[/tex]

Both 4x+2 and 10 are equal to f(x). We can use substitution and set 4x+2 and 10 equal to each other.

[tex]4x+2=10[/tex]

Now, solve for x. Perform the inverse operations to isolate x on one side of the equation.

2 is being added to 4x. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.

[tex]4x+2-2=10-2[/tex]

[tex]4x=10-2 \\[/tex]

[tex]4x=8[/tex]

x is being multiplied by 4. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by 4.

[tex]\frac{4x}{4} =\frac{8}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{8}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x=2[/tex]

For the function f(x)= 4x+2, when f(x)=20, x=2

The sum of the speeds of two trains is 717.4 miles per hour. If the speed of the first train is 4.6 miles per hour faster than that of the second train, find the speed of each

Answers

Answer:

The second train speed is 356.4 miles per hour

And, the first train speed is  361 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the speed of each train is as follows

Given that

The Sum of the speed of two trains is 717.4 miles per hour

Let us suppose the second train speed be x

So for the first train, the speed is x + 4.6

Now the equation is

x + x + 4.6 = 717.4

2x + 4.6 = 717.4

2x = 717.4 - 4.6

2x = 712.8

x= 356.4

Therefore the second train speed is 356.4 miles per hour

And, the first train speed is = 356.4 + 4.6 = 361 miles per hour

9. The diameter of the Earth is 7899.83 miles from the North Pole to the South Pole and 7926.41 miles from opposite points at the equator.
a. Find the approximate surface area of Earth using each measure.
b. About 75% of Earth's surface is covered by water. Find the surface area of water on Earth, using the diameter of the Earth is 7926.41 miles from opposite points at the equator.​

Answers

Answer:

We could think of the Earth as a sphere, where the diameter of this sphere will the mean diameter between the measure from the North pole to the Soth pole and the measure from opposite points of the equator.

Remember that the mean between two numbers A and B is:

Mean = (A + B)/2

In this case, the mean diameter will be:

D = (7,899.83mi + 7,926.41mi)/2 = 7,913.115 mi

And we know that the surface of a sphere of diameter D is:

S = 4*pi*(D/2)^2

Where pi = 3.14

Then the surface of the Earth will be something like:

S = 4*3.14*(7,913.115mi/2)^2 = 196,618,601.47 mi^2

b) We know that 75% of the Earth's surface is water, now we will use the diameter 7,926.41 mi to compute the surface.

First, the total surface of the Earth will be:

S = 4*3.14*(7,926.41mi/2)^2 = 197,279,843.03 mi^2

And 75% of this is water, then the total water surface is 0.75 times that area, this is:

water surface = 0.75*197,279,843.03 mi^2 = 147,959,882.27 mi^2

Friendship’s soccer team purchased uniforms and equipment for a total of $912. The equipment cost $612 and the uniforms cost $25 each. How many uniforms did the school purchase?

Answers

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

912 - 612 = 300

300 ÷ 25 = 12

The number of uniforms the school purchased based on the given data and equation formation will be $12.

How to form an equation?

Determine the known quantities and designate the unknown quantity as a variable while trying to set up or construct a linear equation to fit a real-world application.

In other words, an equation is a set of variables that are constrained through a situation or case.

Let's suppose the school purchase x number of uniforms.

Total cost = equipment cost + x uniforms cost

912 = 612 + 25x

912 - 612 = 25x

25x = 300

x = 12

Hence "The number of uniforms the school purchased based on the given data and equation formation will be $12".
