A^2-9a+20=a^2-5a-4a+20=(a^2-5a)+(-4a+20)
a^2-9a+20=a(a^2/a-5a/a)+(-4)(-4a/(-4)+20/(-4))
a^2-9a+20=a(a-5)-4(a-5)
a^2-9a+20=(a-5)[a(a-5)/(a-5)-4(a-5)/(a-5)]
a^2-9a+20=(a-5)(a-4)

If x=-1\3 is a zero of a polynomial p(x)=27xcube -axsquare -x+3 then find the value of a
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

a = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

If x = h is a zero of a polynomial then f(h) = 0, thus

p(- \frac{1}{3} ) = 27( - \frac{1}{3} )³ - a(- \frac{1}{3} ) - (- \frac{1}{3} ) + 3 = 0, that is

27 (- \frac{1}{27} ) - \frac{1}{9} a + \frac{1}{3} + 3 = 0

- 1 - \frac{1}{9} a + \frac{10}{3} = 0 ( multiply through by 9 to clear the fractions )

- 9 - a + 30 = 0

- a + 21 = 0 ( subtract 21 from both sides )

- a = - 21 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

a = 21

Can someone help me with those word problems please
Keith_Richards [23]
For the first one, subtracting the membership fee, we have 9 dollars to buy as many 1.50 dollar videos as possible. 9/1.50 works well as 6, so he can buy 6.

Subtract 160 from 480 to get 320, and divide that by 80 to get 4 days

We can do some guess and check here. If he buys 2 t shirts, that's 12*2=24 and 41-24=17. 17 is not a factor of 5, so that doesn't work. If he buys 3, that's 12*3=36 and 41-36=5. 5 is a factor of 5, so that works!
