we know that

If (x-8) is a factor of the function f(x)=-2x^{3}+17x^{2}-64

then

x=8 is a root of the function f(x)

therefore

For x=8 the value of the function must be zero

Verify

Substitute the value of x=8 in the function

f(8)=-2(8)^{3}+17(8)^{2}-64

f(8)=-2(512)+17(64)-64

f(8)=-1,024+1,088-64

f(8)=-1,088+1,088

f(8)=0

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

Yes, (x-8) is a factor of the function f(x)

X-8=0
x=8
f(8)=-2(8)^3 +17(8)^2 - 64
=-2(512) + 17(64) - 64
 = -1024+1088-64
= -1024 -64+1088
= -1088+1088
=0

so, x-8 is a factor of the function f(x) = -2x3 +17x2 - 64

hope this helps!!!!!! ^_^_^

Write 2 equivalent ratios for each ratio given:<br> 2/7<br> 3:3 1/2<br><br> 2.5 to 6
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

2/7 = 4/14

3:3 = 6:6

1/2 = 2/4

2.5:6 = 5:12

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first one, we can multiply the numerator and denominator of the fraction by 2 to get an equivalent fraction which is 4/14

For the second one we can multiply each side by 2 to get the ratio of 6:6

For the third one we can multiply the numerator and denominator by 2 to get 2/4

For the last one we can multiply each side by 2 to get 5:12
