Using the distributive property to find the product (y – 4)(y2 + 4y + 16) results in a polynomial of the form y3 + 4y2 + ay – 4y

2 – ay – 64. What is the value of a in the polynomial?

Answer:

The answer to your question is a = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Polynomial

                  (y - 4) (y² + 4y + 16)

Process

1.- Multiply y by each term of the polynomial

                y(y² + 4y + 16) = y³ + 4y² + 16y

2.- Multiply -4 by each term of the polynomial

                -4(y² + 4y + 16) = -4y² - 16y - 64

3.- Write both results

                y³ + 4y² + 16y - 4y² - 16y - 64

In bold we notice that a = 16

What is the difference written in scientific notation? 0.00067 - 2.3 x 10^5
shepuryov [24]
0.00067=67X10^5 so

67X10^5-2.3X10^5

64.7X10^5 which can be expressed as:

6.47X10^6

(not sure if it matters to you or not, but technically we only had two significant figures so it should be rounded to 6.5X10^6)

F(t)=t^2+19t+60<br> What are the zeros of the function and what is the vertex of the parabola?
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer: -4,-15;\ \left(-\dfrac{19}{2},-\dfrac{121}{4}\right)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Function is F(t)=t^2+19+60

Zeroes of the function are

t^2+19t+60=0\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{-19\pm\sqrt{19^2-4\times 1\times 60}}{2\times 1}\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{-19\pm \sqrt{121}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{-19\pm 11}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow t=-4,-15

Using completing the square method

y=t^2+2\times \dfrac{19}{2}t+\dfrac{19^2}{2^2}-\dfrac{19^2}{2^2}+60\\\\y=\left(t+\dfrac{19}{2}\right)^2+60-\dfrac{361}{4}\\\\y=\left(t+\dfrac{19}{2}\right)^2-\dfrac{121}{4}\\\\y+\dfrac{121}{4}=\left(t+\dfrac{19}{2}\right)^2\\\\\left(y-(-\dfrac{121}{4}\right)=\left(t-(-\dfrac{19}{2})\right)^2\\\\\text{The vertex is }\left(-\dfrac{19}{2},-\dfrac{121}{4}\right)

the angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow to the top of the tree is 36 degrees. find the distance from the top of the tr
Bas_tet [7]
In order to fully understand the problem, it is best to sketch it. Sketching the system, we will see that the system forms a triangle where the angle of elevation is 36 degrees. We are asked to find the hypotenuse. We can use a trigonometric function. It should be noted that one of the sides should also be given in order to calculate the hypotenuse. Trigonometric functions that can be used are:

sin(theta) = opposite / hypotenuse
cos(theta) = adjacent / hypotenuse
