Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
you add up all the numbers, then divide but how many numbers there are:
all add up to 40, divide the 40 by 8 to get 5
It might be 4/5? good luck
342 = a²
switch sides:
for x² = f(a) the solutions are x = √ f(a) and - √ f(a)
therefore:
√ 342 = 18
-√ 342 = - 18
a = 18 and a = - 18
hope this helps!
They do all EXCEPT D, but the best answer is A because one can solve the system of equations this way
Step-by-step explanation:
x^3 - 5x^2 - 4x + 20 (I'm assuming this is what you meant)
(1)^3 - 5(1)^2 - 4(1) + 20 = 1 - 5 - 4 + 20 = 12
(-1)^3 - 5(-1)^2 - 4(-1) + 20 = -1 - 5 + 4 + 20 = 18
(2)^3 - 5(2)^2 - 4(2) + 20 = 8 - 20 - 8 + 20 = 0
Now I know (x-2) is a factor of the polynomial.
Synthetic division
2 | 1. -5. -4. 20
| 2. -6. -20
-----------------------------
1. -3. -10. 0
x^2 -3x -10
Factor -> (x-5)(x+2)
So the factors of the original polynomial are (x-5), (x+2), and (x-2)
f(x) = 0 when x = -2,2,or 5
