Answer:

ii) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p(x) = x^3-2ax^2+16

<u><em>Given that x+2 = 0 </em></u>

Then => x = -2

Putting this in p(x)

p(-2) = (-2)^3-2a(-2)^2+16

<u><em>By remainder theorem , Remainder will be zero</em></u>

0 = -8-8a+16

0 = -8a+8

-8a = -8

<em>Dividing both sides by -8</em>

<em>=> </em><em>a = 1</em>

Answer:

a=1 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

let

p(x)=x³-2ax²+16

put x= -2

p(-2)=(-2)³-2a(-2)²+16

p(-2)=-8+16-8a

p(-2)=8-8a

as (x+2) is a factor of p(x) then p(x) is equal to zero

8-8a=0

8=8a

a=1

i hope this will help you

I need help with like terms
professor190 [17]
I’m guessing you mean like this.
2x+4y+5x+8y.
2x and 5x are like terms because the x’s are alike. If you add 2+5, the answer is 7. So therefore 2x+5x=7x.

4y and 8y are like terms because the y’s are alike. So the answer to 4y+8y would be 12y.

If you need extra help, give me a problem and I will help you solve it.
