Solve by completing the square -x^2+8x-6=0

1 answer:

6 0

-x² + 8x - 6 = 0
x = -(8) +/- √((8)² - 4(-1)(-6))
 2(-1)
x = -8 +/- √(64 - 20)
 -2
x = -8 +/- √(44)
 -2
x = -8 +/- 2√(11)
 -2
x = -8 + 2√(11) x = -8 - 2√(11)
 -2 -2
x = 4 - √(11) x = -8 + √(11)

Use synthetic division to find P (-10) for P(x)=2x^3+14x^2-58x

Savatey [412]

The polynomial remainder theorem states that the remainder upon dividing a polynomial $p(x)$ by $x-c$ is the same as the value of $p(c)$ , so to find $p(-10)$ you need to find the remainder upon dividing

$\dfrac{2x^3+14x^2-58x}{x+10}$

You have

..... | 2 ... 14 ... -58
-10 | ... -20 ... 60
--------------------------
..... | 2 ... -6 .... 2

So the quotient and remainder upon dividing is

$\dfrac{2x^3+14x^2-58x}{x+10}=2x-6+\dfrac2{x+10}$

with a remainder of 2, which means $p(-10)=2$ .

If p(x)=3x^2-4, what is p(8a)

vredina [299]

We are tasked to solve the value of p(8a) in the expression p(x)=3x^2-4.
This means that what would find the value of the expression when x=8a. To solve this, we simply substitute the value of x in the expression.

p(x)=3x^2-4
p(8a)=3(8a)^2-4
p(8a)=3(64a^2)-4
p(8a)=192a^2-4
