Answer:
Slope = 
Step-by-step explanation:
(5 , -2) ; (-3, 4)
![Slope=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\\=\frac{4-[-2]}{-3-5}\\\\=\frac{4+2}{-3-5}\\\\=\frac{6}{-8}\\\\=\frac{-3}{4}\\\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Slope%3D%5Cfrac%7By_%7B2%7D-y_%7B1%7D%7D%7Bx_%7B2%7D-x_%7B1%7D%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5Cfrac%7B4-%5B-2%5D%7D%7B-3-5%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5Cfrac%7B4%2B2%7D%7B-3-5%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5Cfrac%7B6%7D%7B-8%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5Cfrac%7B-3%7D%7B4%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C)
Answer:
a = -86.
Step-by-step explanation:
By the Factor Theorem, if x + 4 is a factor then P(-4) = 0, so:
P(-4) = 2(-4)^3 - 11(-4)^2 + a(-4)- 40 = 0
-128 - 176 - 4a - 40 = 0
-4a = 128 +176 + 40
-4a = 344
a = -86.
Answer:
x= 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the manufacturing company is expected to have a lower output by 8.4%, the output in 2016 will only be 91.6%. Given also that their output in 2006 is 1.8 billion dollars, we multiply this value by the decimal equivalent of 91.6% to determine the answer. That is,
projected output in 2016 = ($1.8 B) x (0.916)
= $1.6488 B
Thus, the expected output in 2016 is approximately $1.6488 B.
