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.

Given A(-3, 6) and B(0, 6), what are the coordinates of point P that lies on segment AB, such that AP:PB = 2:1? A: (2, -2) B: (-
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

(-1 1/2, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The mid point between A(-3,6) and B(0,6) represents the coordinates of point P, which is (x,y)

Hence,the coordinates, that is, AP: x = (-3 + 0)/2 = -3/2 = -1 1/2

also, BP: y = (6 + 6)/2 = 6

Therefore, the coordinates of point P = ( -1 1/2, 6)
