Algebraically determine the values of h and k to correctly complete the identity stated below 3x^3-6x^2+4x-2=(x-2)(3x^2+hx+4)+k

1 answer:

4 0

We want to find h and k so that
3x³ - 6x² + 4x - 2 ≡ (x-2)(3x² + hx + 4) + k

Expand the right side.
(x-2)(3x² + hx + 4) + k
= 3x³ + hx² + 4x - 6x² - 2hx - 8 + k
= 3x³ + (h-6)x² + (4 - 2h)x + k - 8

Match coefficients of x²:
h - 6 = -6
h = 0

Match coefficients of x:
4 - 2h = 4 (Correct because h=0)

Match constants.
k - 8 = -2
k = 6

Answer: h=0, k=6

Evaluate the function rule for the given value. f(x) = 3^x for x = –5

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

f(-5) = 1/ 243

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3^x

Let x=-5

f(-5) = 3^-5

Since the exponent is negative, it will move to the denominator

f(-5) = 1/3^5

f(-5) = 1/ 243

Does anyone know how to do this? I’m lost

Nataly [62]

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse function, you switch x with y and y with x. Then, you solve for y.

$y=(x-1)^{2} -4$ [switch x with y, and y with x]

$x=(y-1)^2-4$ [add both sides by 4]

$x+4=(y-1)^2$ [square root both sides]

$\sqrt{x+4} =y-1$ [add both sides by 1]

$\sqrt{x+4} +1=y$

$f^-^1(x)=1+\sqrt{x+4}$

Now that we know the inverse function, we can actually tell that the answer is B. We know this because of the restriction that f(x) is x≤1. This makes it positive, and B the answer.

Please answer and explain the answer

Well every year it grows 8 inches which means that for every one year it grows 8 inches.

BUT, the tree started out 14 inches so every year you have to add the original 14 inches.

So your equation looks like this:

h=8a+14

Hope this helps :)
