<h2>
For a = 1 and b = 10 x+1 and x+2 factors of x³-ax²-bx-8 = 0</h2><h2>
Other factor is (x-4)</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
We have
x³-ax²-bx-8 = 0
Its factors are x+1 and x+2
That is x = -1 and x = -2 are its roots
Substituting x = -1
(-1)³-a(-1)²-b(-1)-8 = 0
-1 - a + b - 8 = 0
b - a = 9 ---------------------eqn 1
Substituting x = -2
(-2)³-a(-2)²-b(-2)-8 = 0
-8 - 4a + 2b - 8 = 0
2b - 4a = 16 ---------------------eqn 2
eqn 1 x -2
-2b + 2a = -18 ---------------------eqn 3
eqn 2 + eqn 3
-2a = -2
a = 1
Substituting in eqn 1
b - 1 = 9
b = 10
For a = 1 and b = 10, x+1 and x+2 factors of x³-ax²-bx-8 = 0
The equation is x³-x²-10x-8 = 0
Dividing with x + 1 we will get
x³-x²-10x-8 = (x+1)(x²-2x-8)
Dividing (x²-2x-8) with x + 2 we will get
x²-2x-8 = (x+2)(x-4)
So we have
x³-x²-10x-8 = (x+1)(x+2)(x-4)
Other factor is (x-4)
The point slope form or the equation of a line is :
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
First find the slope between the two coordinates:
m = y2-y1/x2-x1
m = 0-4 / 2-(-6)
m = -4 / 8
m = - 1/2
Now create the point slope form / equation of a line:
y - 4 = - 1/2(x - (-6))
y - 4 = - 1/2(x + 6)
OR you can have
y - 0 = - 1/2(x - 2)

Answer: the probability that exactly 5 of the 8 cherry tomatoes weigh less than 4 oz is 0.05
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that;
X has normal distribution has mean µ = 3
standard deviation σ = 2
now
P( x< 4) = P( (x-µ)/σ /(3-4)/5)
= P( z < -0.5 )
= 0.3085 {from the z-table}
X has binomial distribution with n = 8 and p = 0.3085
so P(x=5)
P(x=5) = 8C₅(0.3085)⁵ (1 - 0.3085)⁸⁻⁵
= 0.0517 ≈ 0.05
Therefore the probability that exactly 5 of the 8 cherry tomatoes weigh less than 4 oz is 0.05
