 Find k if x^3+6x^2+kx+12 is divisible by (x+4)

Mathematics
1 answer:
konstantin123 [22]4 years ago
8 0
If a polynomial p(x) is divisible by q(x), the roots of q(x) are roots of p(x), too.

In this question, p(x)=x³+6x²+kx+12 and q(x)=x+4. Clearly, the root of q(x) is -4. By what was written initially, -4 is a root of p(x). So:
p(-4)=0\\\\
(-4)^3+6(-4)^2+k(-4)+12=0\\\\
-64+6\cdot16-4k+12=0\\\\
-64+96-4k+12=0\\\\
4k=44\\\\
k=\dfrac{44}{4}\\\\
\boxed{k=11}

How many times greater is the value of the the 7 in 76,600 than the value of 7 in 7600?​
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

<em>The first value is ten times greater.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Numbering System</u>

When we represent numbers in the decimal system, each digit to the left has a value 10 times more than the digit to the right. For example, in the number 44, the 4 to the left side has a value of 40, and it's neighbor to the right side has a value of 4.

In the number 76,600, the 7 has a value of 70,000, while in the number 7,600, its value is 7000. Thus the first value is ten times greater.
