Determine if x − 2 is a factor of p ( x ) = x 4 − 3 x 2 + 2 x − 8 , and explain why.

Step-by-step explanation:

If x − 2 is a factor of p(x), then p(2) will equal 0.

p(x) = x⁴ − 3x² + 2x − 8

p(2) = 2⁴ − 3(2)² + 2(2) − 8

p(2) = 16 − 12 + 4 − 8

p(2) = 0

So x − 2 is indeed a factor of p(x).

At an electronics store, a $165 television is marked up 110%. Dave purchases the TV and must pay 6.5% sales tax. What is his fin
Mariana [72]
Firstly, we need to know the price of the TV after the 110$ increase.
     $165 x 1.10 = $181.50
[This is an increase of $16.50]
[1.10 is the equivalent of 110%. 1 being 100% and the .10 being 10%]

Now for the sales tax. We apply a similar method.
     $181.50 x 0.065 = $11.79
     6.5% of $181.50 is $11.79, so we add the two together to find the final cost.

The final cost of the TV is $193.29

Yuki888 [10]
M = 90 kg,
On Mars:  g = 3.71 m/s² 
Weight = m · g = 90 kg · 3.71 m/s² = 333.9 N
1 N = 0.2248 lbf
333.9 · 0.2248 = 75.06072 lbf ≈ 75 lbf
