Answer:

a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, please consider the following.

6x^3+18x^2-240x=6x(x^2+3x-40)\\\\\text{** The sum of the zeroes is -3=-8+5 and the product is -40=-8*5. **}\\\\\text{** So, we can factorise. **}\\\\6x^3+18x^2-240x=6x(x^2+3x-40)=6x(x^2+8x-5x-40)\\\\=6x(x(x+8)-5(x+8))\\\\\large \boxed{=6x(x+8)(x-5)}

So, a = 5.

Thank you.

Drag each sequence to show whether it is a linear function, an exponential function, or
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

Option A

From the given table,

Ratio of the 2nd value and 1st value = \frac{8}{4}=2

Ratio of 3rd value and 2nd value = \frac{16}{8}=2

There is a common ratio of 2.

Therefore, the given table will represent an exponential function.

Option B

Given recursive formula of the sequence is,

A_1=3

A_n=5.A_{n-1}

From this recursive formula sequence will be,

3, 15, 75, 375,.......

Therefore, it's an exponential function.

Option C

F_n=3n+17

Given function is in the form of a linear function (y = mx + b),

Therefore, it's a linear function.

Option D

From the given table,

Difference between 2nd value to the 1st value = 8 - 4 = 4

Difference between 3rd value to the 2nd value = 12 - 8 = 4

Therefore, there is a common difference of 4 in each successive term to the previous term.

Hence, the given table represents a linear function.
