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

Find the real solutions of the equation by graphing
Vlada [557]

Answer:

C. 0, 1.29, -0.65

Step-by-step explanation:

The real solutions of the equation 19x^3-12x^2-16x=0  is where the graph of y=19x^3-12x^2-16x intersects the x-axis.

This means that we need to graph y=19x^3-12x^2-16x using a graphing software.

From the graph shown in the attachment x=0, x=1.29, and x=-0.65  are the  real solutions.

The correct choice is C

Tara is the editor of the school newspaper. She tries to devote about 1/2 of the paper to news, 1/3 to pictures, and the remaind
Klio2033 [76]
5/6 of the paper is devoted to news and pictures

first I made the fraction have equal denominators which was 6 by doing that I multiplyed the numerator and the denominator

1/2
1×3=3
2×3=6
therefore 1/2 being equivalent to 3/6


1/3
1×2=2
3×2=6
therefore 1/3 being equivalent to 2/6

now you would be able to add the numerators, so 2+3=5
therefore being 5/6 of the paper is devoted to news and pictures

25 pt question amd will mark brainliest
Usimov [2.4K]
Hello!

The angles are supplementary meaning they add to 180°

a + 2a + 3 = 180

Combine like terms

3a + 3 =  180

Subtract 3 from both sides

3a = 177

Divide both sides by 3

a = 59

the answer is 59°

Hope this helps!
