Our function is:

f(x)=12^3+ax-20

Now, if 3x+4 is a factor of f(x) then x=\frac{-4}{3} must satisfy the equation:

So, f(\frac{-4}{3} )=0

Putting x=\frac{-4}{3}

We get,

f(\frac{-4}{3} )=12^3+a(\frac{-4}{3} )-20=0

12^3+\frac{-4}{3} a-20=0

\frac{-4}{3} a=20-12^3=20-1708

a=-1708 \times \frac{-3}{4} =1281

So, the value of 'a' for the given expression is 1281.

What is the y-intercept of y = 1 + 6x?
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Hey!

Your answer is 1 (the y-intercept is 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercept =  ( − 1/ 6  , 0 )

y-intercept =  ( 0 , 1 )

Explanation:

Slope formula is

=  r i s e/ r u n

 Since 6 is obviously  6/ 1 then...

we know that the slope goes up 6 units

and right 1 unit on a graph.  

Next we have  to find the y-intercept of the line

of y=6x+1, you substitute x as x=0.

y = 6

x + 1

y = 6 ( 0 ) + 1

so then y = 1

HOPE THIS HELPS!!

A line passes through the point (-4,6) and has a slope of 5/4
kondaur [170]

Answer:

4y-5x-44=0

Step-by-step explanation:

It passes through one point with the formula being

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-6=5/4(x-(-4))

y-6=5/4(x+4)

cross multiply

4(y-6)=5(x+4)

4y-24=5x+20

collect like terms

4y-5x=20+24

4y-5x=44

4y-5x-44=0
