Answer:

If B is between A and C, AB = x, BC = 2x + 2, and AC = 14, find the value of x. Then find AB and BC.

Step-by-step explanation:

AB=x

BC = 2x + 2BC=2x+2

AC =14AC=14

Required

Determine x, AB and BC.

Since B is between A and C;

AB + BC = ACAB+BC=AC

Substitute x for AB; 2x + 2 for BC and 14 for AC

x + 2x + 2 = 14x+2x+2=14

3x + 2 = 143x+2=14

Collect Like Terms

3x = 14 - 23x=14−2

3x = 123x=12 '

x = \frac{12}{3}x=

3

12

x = 4x=4

Substitute 4 for x in

AB = xAB=x

BC = 2x + 2BC=2x+2

AB = 4AB=4

BC = 2(4) + 2BC=2(4)+2

BC = 8 + 2BC=8+2

BC = 10BC=10

Step-by-step explanation:

(9)

Expand and simplify right side and compare coefficients of like terms on left side.

(x - 2)(x² + ax + b) + c

= x³ + ax² + bx - 2x² - 2ax - 2b + c

= x³ + x²(a - 2) + x(b - 2a) - 2b + c

compare with

x³ + 2x² - 3x + 4

x² terms

a - 2 = 2 ( add 2 to both sides )

a = 4

x terms

b - 2a = - 3 ← substitute a = 4

b - 8 = - 3 ( add 8 to both sides )

b = 5

constant terms

- 2b + c = 4 ← substitute b = 5

- 10 + c = 4 ( add 10 to both sides )

c = 14

Thus a = 4, b = 5 and c = 14

-------------------------------------------------

(10)

Since both functions cross the x- axis at - 2 then (- 2, 0) satisfies both, that is

f(- 2) = (-2)^{4} + a(- 2)³ + b(- 2)² + 36(- 2) + 144 = 0, that is

- 16 - 8a + 4b - 72 + 144 = 0

- 8a + 4b + 56 = 0

- 8a + 4b = - 56 → (1)

and

g(- 2) = (-2)^{4} + (a + 3)(- 2)³ - 23(- 2)² + (b + 10)(- 2) + 40 = 0, that is

- 16 - 8(a + 3) - 92 - 2(b + 10) + 40 = 0

- 16 - 8a - 24 - 92 - 2b - 20 + 40 = 0

- 8a - 2b - 112 = 0

- 8a - 2b = 112 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term

- 6b = 168 ( divide both sides by - 6 )

b = - 28

Substitute b = - 28 into (2)

- 8a + 56 = 112 ( subtract 56 from both sides )

- 8a = 56 ( divide both sides by - 8 )

a = - 7

Thus a = - 7 and b = - 28

A number that has a digit in the tenths place,hundredths place,or beyond
nadya68 [22]
A number that has a digit in the tenths place, hundredths place or beyond is called decimal numbers. Any number after the decimal point is called decimal number, it value always started in tenths place value, then followed by hundredths, then thousandths, then ten thousandths, then hundred thousandths and so on. It is still the same with giving place value in whole number. The only difference is, its value decreases as it becomes away from the decimal point.
