Answer: 120 different ways. It is a permutation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are different positions and the order of placing matters, this is a permutation. (In Combinations, the order doesn’t matter, like in choosing people to be on a team without any positions). The calculation is 6x5x4 because there are 6 competitors who could get first, 5 who could get second (the 6th already has first place), and 4 who could get 3rd ( the other two already have 1st and 2nd place).

Given that (x - 2) is a factor of this polynomial, use the Factor Theorem to find the value of a.

IceJOKER [234]

The factor theorem states that if (x-a) is a factor of P(x) the P(a) = 0 so we can write, for this polynomial:

2^(4) - 3(2)^3 + A(2)^2 - 6(2) + 14 = 0

16 - 24 + 4A - 12 + 14 = 0
4A = -16+24 + 12 - 14 = 6
A = 6/4 = 1.5
