It would be 8 inches, because for this you just have to find the greatest common factor between all three numbers which is 8

Find the numbers a, b and c if the polynomial x3−18x2+24xb−c is the cube of the binomial x+2a.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

$a=-3\\ \\b=\dfrac{9}{2}\\ \\c=216$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula

$(u+v)^3=u^3+3u^2v+3uv^2+v^3.$

Hence,

$(x+2a)^3=x^3+3x^2\cdot 2a+3x\cdot (2a)^2+(2a)^3=x^3+6ax^2+12a^2x+8a^3.$

This expression is equal to

$x^3-18x^2+24bx-c,$

so we can equate the coefficients at powers of x:

$x^3:\ 1=1\\ \\x^2:\ 6a=-18\Rightarrow a=-3\\ \\x:\ 12a^2=24b\Rightarrow b=\dfrac{9}{2}\\ \\1=x^0:\ 8a^3=-c\Rightarrow c=-8\cdot (-3)^3=216.$

Suppose f′(6)=5 and g′(6)=7. <br> Find h′(6) where h(x)=4f(x)+5g(x)+1.

Nimfa-mama [501]

The value of the derivative of functions h'(6) as requested in the task content is; 55.

<h3>What is the value of h'(6)?</h3>

Since it follows from the task content that the function h(x)=4f(x)+5g(x)+1.

Hence, the derivative of h(x) can be evaluated as;

h'(x)=4f'(x)+5g'(x)

On this note, by substitution, it follows that;

h'(6)=4(5)+5(7)

h'(6) = 55.

Find the common difference for the sequence shown 1/4,5/16,3/8

Vladimir79 [104]

<span>common difference for the sequence = 1/16

cause
1/4 = 4/16
and
3/8 = 6/16

so
4/16 + 1/16 = 5/16
5/16 + 1/16 = 6/16
