We can use the slope formula:

$\frac{y.2 - y.1}{x.2 - x.1} = m$

By plugging the values into this formula, we can solve for the slope.

-1 - 4 / -8 - 0

-5 / -8

Because there are two negatives, they cancel out;

The slope is 5/8

Consider the polynomial P(x)=x³+kx²+x+6.Find the value of k so that x+1 is a factor of P.

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The value of k will be -4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given polynomial $P(X)=x^3+kx^2+x+6$

It is given that x+1 is factor of the polynomial

And we have to find the value of k

As x+1 is the factor of polynomial so x+1 = 0 that is x = -1 will be the root of polynomial

So if we put x = -1 in the polynomial then the p(-1) will be zero

So $0=(-1)^3+k(-1)^2-1+6$

$k=-4$

So the value of k will be -4

how much interest will roxanne have to pay if she borrows $3,000 for 3 years at a simple interest rate of 2%

Darya [45]

Simpe interest rate = PRT/100
— ( principal x rate x time ) / 100

$3,000 is the principal
3 years is the time
2% is the rate

so, PRT/100
(3,000 x 3 x 2) / 100
= $180

Answer : $180
