Ok, so on this one you need to change your mixed numbers to improper fractions.
R
9 5/8 = 8x9+5= 77/8
1 7/8 = 8x1+7 = 15/8

Now subtract since your denominators are equal.
77/8 - 15/8 = 62/8

Now change back to a mixed number, 8 × 7 = 56 with a remainder of 6.

7 6/8 , simplify 6/8 to 3/4.

Your final answer is 7 3/4. Hope this helps you!

For what value of k, -4 is a zero of polynomial x2-x-(2k+2)?

bekas [8.4K]

Hmm
well, um
if -4 is a zero then if we subsitute -4 for x, we should get 0

so
0=(-4)²-(-4)-(2k+2)
0=16+4-2k-2
0=18-2k
2k=18
divide by 2
k=9

k=9
the value k is 9

The sign of "b" on the numerator should be negative. So we conclude that the correct option is false.
