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

Answer:

B.   Yes, this is direct variation. Time is the independent variable, and miles driven is the dependent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a direct variation, when the independent variable increase the dependent variable also increases. In this case, the independent variable is the time (time is always independent) and the miles driven by Steve is the dependent variable. This means, the miles driven increase as time pass.
