Answer:
c. (x + 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
using factor theorem
if x - 3 is a factor then p(a) = 0
p(a)= x^3 - 3x^2 - 4x + 12
a.(x-3)
p(3) = (3)^3 - 3(3)^2 - 4(3) + 12
= 27 - 27 - 12 + 12
= 0
therefore x-3 is a factor
b.(x + 2)
p(-2) = (-2)^3 - 3(-2)^2 - 4(-2) + 12
= -8 -12 + 8 + 12
,= 0
therefore x + 2 is a factor
c.(x + 3)
p(-3) = (-3)^3 - 3(-3)^2 - 4(-3) + 12
= -27 -27 + 12 + 12
= -30
therefore x + 3 is not a factor
d.(x-2)
p(2) = (2)^3 - 3(2)^2 - 4(2) + 12
= 8 -12 - 8 + 12
= 0
therefore x - 2 is a factor
Answer:
9/8
Step-by-step explanation:
the quotient of -3/8 and -1/3
= (-3/8) / (-1/3)
= (-3/8) x (-3/1)
= 9/8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So this is an isosceles triangle so the other angle must be x too.
So:
x+x+40 = 180
2x+40 = 180
2x = 140
x = 70
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>
- x + 2y = 3 and xy = 2
- show that x³ + 8y³ + 9 = 0
<u>Solution in steps:</u>
- (x + 2y)³ = 3³
- x³ + 3x²(2y) + 3x(2y)² + (2y)³ = 27
- x³ + 6x(xy) + 12y(xy) + 8y³ = 27
- x³ + 8y³ + 6(x + 2y)xy = 27 ⇒ Substitute values
- x³ + 8y³ + 6*3*2 = 27
- x³ + 8y³ + 36 - 27 = 0
- x³ + 8y³ + 9 = 0
Done
