A pencil at a stationery store costs $1, and a pen costs $1.50. stefan spent $7 at the store. he bought a total of 6 items. whic

h system of equations can be used to find the number of pencils (x) and pens (y) he bought? x + 1.5y = 7 x + y = 6 1.5x + y = 7 x = 6y x + 2y = 7 6x = 1.5y 2x + y = 7 6x = 1.5y

Find number a and k so that x-2 is afactor<br>OF F(x)=x4-2ax tax-<br>X+k and F(-1)=3

Slav-nsk [51]

Question:

Find numbers a and k so that x-2 is a factor of

$f(x)=x^4-2ax^3+ax^2- x+k$

and

$f(-1)=3$

Answer:

$k = -2$ and $a=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x)=x^4-2ax^3+ax^2- x+k$

$Factor:\ x - 4$

$f(-1)=3$

Required

Find a and k

For $f(-1)=3$

Substitute -1 for x

$f(x)=x^4-2ax^3+ax^2- x+k$

$f(-1) = (-1)^4 - 2a *(-1)^3 + a*(-1)^2 - (-1) + k$

$f(-1) = 1 - 2a *-1 + a*1 +1 + k$

$f(-1) = 1 +2a + a +1 + k$

$f(-1) = 2 +3a + k$

Substitute 3 for f(-1)

$3 = 2 +3a + k$

Collect Like Terms

$3 - 2 = 3a + k$

$1 = 3a + k$

Also:

If $x - 2$ is a factor, then

$f(2) = 0$

Substitute 2 for x and 0 for f(x)

$f(x)=x^4-2ax^3+ax^2- x+k$

$0 = 2^4 - 2a * 2^3 + a * 2^2 - 2 + k$

$0 = 16 - 2a * 8 + a * 4 - 2 + k$

$0 = 16 - 16a + 4a - 2 + k$

$0 = 16 - 12a - 2 + k$

Collect Like Terms

$2 - 16 = - 12a + k$

$-14 = k - 12a$

$k = 12a - 14$

Substitute 12a - 14 for k in $1 = 3a + k$

$1 = 3a + 12a - 14$

$1 = 15a - 14$

Collect Like Terms

$15a = 1 + 14$

$15a = 15$

Solve for a

$a = \frac{15}{15}$

$a=1$

Substitute 1 for a in $k = 12a - 14$

$k = 12 * 1 - 14$

$k = 12 - 14$

$k = -2$

I can give you the answer only for the first question, but this one will definitely help you and bring you the points you need. The amount of tax that is paid on the computer is <span>0.08x, where </span>x is the original cost
and 8% is the tax rate. Hope you still need because that's really works.
