Take the whole and multiply it by the percentage

so...

660 * .4 = 264

Answer:

$3 (a-2) (a-5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find the GCF. Here, it's 3.

$3(a^2-7a+10)$

Then, you factor the polynomial in the parenthesis.

To find the factors, you will need to find 2 numbers that add to -7, and multiply to 10. -2 and -5 add to -7 and multiply to 10. Now, replace -7a with the factors.

$a^2-2a-5a+10$

This of this polynomial as 2 problems.

$a^2-2a$ $-5a+10$

Then, factor again.

$a^2-2a$ $-5a+10$

$a(a-2)$ $-5(a-5)$

Then, you keep the factors in parenthesis, and combine the numbers on the outside.

$(a-2)(a-5)(a-5)$

Since, there are 2 of the same factor, you only need one.

$(a-2)(a-5)$

BUT REMEMBER!! In the very beginning, we had a 3 that we took out, we STILL need to add that to the final answer. The final answer is:

$3 (a-2) (a-5)$

To two decimal places, find the value of k that will make the function f(x) continuous everywhere. f of x equals the quantity 3x

Fiesta28 [93]

Given function is

$f(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix}3x+k & x\leq -4 \\ kx^2-5 & x> -4\end{matrix}\right.$

now we need to find the value of k such that function f(x) continuous everywhere.

We know that any function f(x) is continuous at point x=a if left hand limit and right hand limits at the point x=a are equal.

So we just need to find both left and right hand limits then set equal to each other to find the value of k

To find the left hand limit (LHD) we plug x=-4 into 3x+k

so LHD= 3(-4)+k

To find the Right hand limit (RHD) we plug x=-4 into

$kx^2-5$

so RHD= $k(-4)^2-5$

Now set both equal

$k(-4)^2-5=3(-4)+k$

$16k-5=-12+k$

$16k-k=-12+5$

$15k=-7$

$k=-\frac{7}{15}$

k=-0.47

Hence final answer is -0.47.
