Answer:
a = -86.
Step-by-step explanation:
By the Factor Theorem, if x + 4 is a factor then P(-4) = 0, so:
P(-4) = 2(-4)^3 - 11(-4)^2 + a(-4)- 40 = 0
-128 - 176 - 4a - 40 = 0
-4a = 128 +176 + 40
-4a = 344
a = -86.
Going south means you're going in the negative direction along the y axis
Going 4 yards south would be represented as -4 on the y axis number line (this is the vertical number line)
Answer:
Answer: x=65
Step-by-step explanation:
Since they're vertical angles both sides are equal to 145 degrees
So, 145-15= 130 to get rid of the constant
Then, 130/2=65
To check you work add up all of your solutions to get 145
2*65=130 & 130+15=145
Therefore, x=65
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Roots: set y = x^2 + 8x + 12 = 0 and solve for x: x + 6 = 0, so x = -6 is one root. The other is x = -2. The corresponding points are (-6, 0) and (-2, 0).
y-intercept: Let x = 0. Then y = 12. The y-intercept is (0, 12).
Axis of symmetry: x = -b / (2a) => x = -8/(2*1) = -4: x = -4
Vertex y-value: evaluate y at x = - 4: (-4)^2 + 8(-4) + 12 = -4: (-4, -4)
Arbitrarily chosen x value: x = 1 => 1^2 + 8(1) + 12 = 21: (1, 21)
The five points are: (-6, 0) and (-2, 0), (0, 12), (-4, -4), (1, 21). The vertex is (-4, -4). The parabolic graph opens UP.
-6g + 36 = 12
36 = 12 + 6g
24 = 6g
4 = g
g = 4
