Answer: The answer is YES.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to check whether (x - 8) is a factor of the function f(x)=-2x^3+17x^2-64.

Factor Theorem states that if (x - a) is a factor of P(x), the we must have P(a) = 0.

We have

f(8)\\\\=-2\times 8^3+17\times 8^2-64\\\\=-2\times 512+17\times 64-64\\\\=-2048+16\times 64\\\\=-1024+1024\\\\=0.

Thus, (x - 8) is a factor of f(x).

Yes when the function f(x) = -2x3+17x2-64 is divided by x-8, the remainder is zero. Therefore, x-8 is a factor of f(x) = -2x3+17x2-64

Find the rate of change: Mike can bike 3 miles in an hour. What is the speed at which mike can bike?
masya89 [10]
Rate  of  change=<span><span>change  in  y divided by </span><span>change  in  <span>x
y= 3,6,9
x= 1,2,3
The numbers chosen above are because if mike travels 3 miles in one hours then he can travel 6 miles in two hours and 9 miles in 3 hours. 
Change in y = 3
Change in x = 1
3 / 1 = 3
So, the rate of change is 3.</span></span></span>

Solve the inequality.
xenn [34]

Answer:

x < -24(option

Step-by-step explanation:

-¼x - 12 > -6

Add 12 to both sides

-¼x - 12+12 > -6+12

-¼x > 6

Divide both sides by -¼

x < 6 ÷ -¼

Please note that the inequality sign changes when divided by negative (minus). This is a rule in inequalities.

x < 6 × -4

x < -24

Which of the following hypothetical scenarios best describes a scenario where approximation by the binomial distribution is most
VladimirAG [237]
<span>A binomial distribution is the discrete probability distribution of the number of successes in a sequence of independent experiments, each asking a yes/no question, and each with an outcome that has a random variable containing single bit of information. So, an example would be A: Find the probability of selecting a red ball from a vase containing red, green, and yellow balls after selecting two yellow balls without replacement.</span>
