Is (x-3) a factor of f(x) = x^2 - 32?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Leokris [45]1 year ago
3 0

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Here, we want to use the factor theorem to check if the given linear expression is a factor of the binomial

Now, according to the factor theorem, a factor of a polynomial would leave no remainder when divided by it

Mathematically, it means when we substitute the factor value into the polynomial, it is expected that the remainder is zero is the substituted is a factor of the polynomial

We set x-2 to zero:

\begin{gathered} \text{ x-2 = 0} \\ x\text{ = 2} \end{gathered}

Now, we substitute 2 into the polynomial as follows:

f(2)\text{ = }2^2-32\text{ = 4-32 = -28}

There is a remainder of -28 and thus, the linear factor is not a factor of the binomial

A workers regular hourly rate of pay is $13. What is the workers total pay for working 40 regulars and 3 hours overtime at a rat
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

578.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The worker worked 40 hours at 13 dollars

40 * 13 =520

Then they worked 3 hours at 13(1.5) or 19.50

3*19.50 =58.5

The total amount of money earned is regular time plus overtime

520 + 58.5 =578.50

If the endpoints of the diameter of a circle are (−6, 6) and (6, −2), what is the standard form equation of the circle?
Varvara68 [4.7K]
1. Find the centre of the circle or the midpoint of the two numbers
(6-6/2}, (-2+6/2)
(0, 2)
2. Find radius using the distance formula
√<span>(6 - 2)² + (-6 - 0)²
</span>√4² + (-6)²
√16 + 36
√52
r = 7.21
3. Plug in
x² + (y - 2)² = 52

So it is option D 99% sure

Bob is trying to calculate the area of a triangle with a base of 5 meters and a height of 7 meters. He mistakenly switches the h
ehidna [41]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 1/2 b*h

A = 1/2 (5*7)

We can use the commutative property of multiplication which states

a*b = b*a

A = 1/2 (7*5)

This will not affect the answer because 5*7 = 7*5
