consider a polynomial f(x)=ax^3 + bx^2 + x + 2/3.if x + 3 is a factor of f(x) and f(x) is divided by x + 2, then we get remainde

Elanso [62]

Answer:

a = 2/27

b = 13/27

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial is presented as follows;

f(x) = a·x³ + b·x² + x + 2/3

Given that x + 3 is a factor, we have;

f(-3) = 0 = a·(-3)³ + b·(-3)² - 3 +2/3 = 0

-27·a + 9·b - 3 + 2/3 = 0

-27·a + 9·b = 7/3........(1)

Also we have

(a·x³ + b·x² + x + 2/3) ÷ (x + 2) the remainder = 5

Therefore;

a·(-2)³ + b·(-2)² + (-2) + 2/3 = 5

-8·a + 4·b - 2 + 2/3 = 5

-8·a + 4·b = 2 - 2/3 = 4/3........(2)

Multiplying equation (1) by 4/9 and subtracting it from equation (2), we have;

-8·a + 4·b - 4/9×(-27·a + 9·b) = 4/3 - 4/9 × 7/3

-8·a + 12·a = 8/27

4·a = 8/27

a = 2/27 ≈ 0.0741

imputing the a value in equation (1) gives;

-27×2/27 + 9·b = 7/3

-2 + 9·b = 7/3

9·b = 7/3 + 2 = 13/3

b = 13/27 ≈ 0.481.

Garrett chooses to invest $1800 in a simple. The account earns 3% interest over 5 years which equation represents garrets invest

Alla [95]

The interest earned in 5 years would be $270

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Principal, P = $1800

Rate of interest, r = 3%

Time, t = 5 years

Simple interest, I = ?

We know,

$I = \frac{p X r X t}{100}$

On substituting the value we get

$I = \frac{1800 X 3 X 5}{100} \\\\I = 270$

Therefore, interest earned in 5 years would be $270

Answer:

IS a parallelogram

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula for the slope of the line between points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is ...

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

The distance formula for the length of that same line is ...

d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)

Here, you're asked to use each of these formulas 4 times, once for each side of the quadrilateral. I find it convenient to let a calculator or spreadsheet do the repetitive calculations. The result is attached.

The attachment shows that opposites sides have the same length and slope, so are parallel. The quadrilateral is a parallelogram. (The two points used in each calculation are the ones on the result line and the line immediately below. That is why point B is copied to the end of the list.)

_____

<em>Additional comments</em>

There are much simpler ways to prove the figure is a parallelogram. My favorite is to add the coordinates of the end points of the diagonals:

B +D = (-2+6, -9-3) = (4, -12)

C +E = (0+4, -5-7) = (4, -12)

These values being the same demonstrates the midpoints of the diagonals are coincident. That will only be the case if the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

__

If you must use slope and distance formulas, showing either pair of opposite sides is parallel and have the same length is sufficient to guarantee that the other two sides are also parallel and have the same length. That is, the calculations required in this problem only need to be applied to one pair of opposite sides. (Using a spreadsheet, it's not a lot of extra work to do the calculations for both pairs of opposite sides.)
