Consider the cubic function f(x) = x^3 + ax^2 + bx + 4 where (a) and (b) are constants. When f(x) is divided by x-3, the remaind

er is 10. When f (x) is divided by x+1, the remainder is 6.

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Remainder theorem

If f(x) is divided by (x - h) then f(h) = remainder, thus

f(3) = 3³ + a(3)² + b(3) + 4 = 10, that is

27 + 9a + 3b + 4 = 10

9a + 3b + 31 = 10 ( subtract 31 from both sides )

9a + 3b = - 21 → (1)

f(- 1) = (- 1)³ + a(- 1)² + b(- 1) + 4 = 6, that is

- 1 + a - b + 4 = 6

a - b + 3 = 6 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

a - b = 3 → (2)

Rearrange (2) expressing a in terms of b

a = 3 + b → (3)

Substitute a = 3 + b into (1)

9(3 + b) + 3b = - 21 ← distribute and simplify left side

27 + 9b + 3b = - 21

12b + 27 = - 21 ( subtract 27 from both sides )

12b = - 48 ( divide both sides by 12 )

b = - 4

Substitute b = - 4 into (3)

a = 3 - 4 = - 1

Hence a = - 1 and b = - 4

HELP PLEASE <br><br>must show work <br><br>I have the answer just need to show work​
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve these equations involving variables and exponents we need to follow these steps.

1) We need to find out the factor that is common in the equation.

2) After taking common, solve the equation. We can add or subtract only those values that have same bases.

1) 8+6x^4

here we can see, both numbers are divisible by 2, so taking 2 common

=2(8/2 + 6x^4/2)\\= 2(4 + 3x^4)

It cannot be further simplified because both number donot have same bases.

3.4n^9 + 12 n

We can take 4n common

=4n(4n^9/4n + 12 n/4n)\\=4n(n^8 + 3)

5. -12a -3

Here -3 cam be taken common

= -3(-12a/-3 -3/-3)

= -3(4a +1)

7. 12n^5 + 16n^3

here the smallest power of n is n^3 so, we can take n^3 common and both coefficients are divisible by 4 so taking 4n^3 common

4n^3( 3n^2 + 4)

9. 5k^2 - 40k+10

Here we cannot take k common, as k is not a multiple of 10. For taking common it should be divisible by each value in the equation. But each value s divisible by 5 so, taking 5 common

=5(k^2 - 8k + 2)

11.-60 + 60n^2 +50n^3

Here we cannot take n common, as n is not a multiple of -60. For taking common it should be divisible by each value in the equation. But each value s divisible by 10 so, taking 10 common

=10(-6 + 6n^2 +5n^3)

13. -36n^3 -12n-28

Here we cannot take n common, as n is not a multiple of 28. For taking common it should be divisible by each value in the equation. But each value s divisible by -4 so, taking -4 common

=-4(9n^3 + 3n +7)

15. 63n^3+81n+18

Here we cannot take n common, as n is not a multiple of 18. For taking common it should be divisible by each value in the equation. But each value s divisible by 9 so, taking 9 common

=9(7n^3 + 9n + 2)

17. -24a^2b^2 + 36ab-60a

=6a(-4ab^2+6b-10)
