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!!!!!! ^_^_^

Juan rode 72 km on his bike in 4 hours. Find the unite rate.
Westkost [7]

Answer:

18 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the unit rate, we must find the rate in kilometers per hour.

Let’s divide the total kilometers by the total number of hours.

unit rate = kilometers/hours

Juan rode 72 kilometers in 4 hours.

unit rate = 72 kilometers/ 4 hours

unit rate = 72 km/4 hrs

unit rate = 18 km / hr

The unit rate is 18 kilometers per hour.

If f (x)= x-3 and g (x)= 2x-4, find (f+g)(x)
const2013 [10]

(f∘g)(x) is equivalent to f(g(x)). We solve this problem just as we solve f(x). But since it asks us to find out f(g(x)), in f(x), each time we encounter x, we replace it with g(x).

In the above problem, f(x)=x+3.

Therefore, f(g(x))=g(x)+3.

⇒(f∘g)(x)=2x−7+3

⇒(f∘g)(x)=2x−4

Basically, write the g(x) equation where you see the x in the f(x) equation.

f∘g(x)=(g(x))+3 Replace g(x) with the equation

f∘g(x)=(2x−7)+3

f∘g(x)=2x−7+3 we just took away the parentheses

f∘g(x)=2x−4 Because the −7+3=4

This is it

g∘f(x) would be the other way around

g∘f(x)=2(x+3)−7

now you have to multiply what is inside parentheses by 2 because thats whats directly in front of them.

g∘f(x)=2x+6−7

Next, +6−7=−1

g∘f(x)=2x−1

Its a lts easier than you think!

Hope this helped
