The equation x2+px−35=0 has one root that is equal to 7. Find the other root and the value of the coefficient p.

1 answer:

4 0

For this case we have the following polynomial:
x2 + px-35 = 0
We can factor the polynomial.
Rewriting we have:
(x-7) * (x + a) = 0
The value of a is given by:
-7 * a = -35
a = 35/7
a = 5
Substituting we have:
(x-7) * (x + 5) = 0
Therefore, the value of p is:
p = -7 + 5
p = -2
Answer:
the other root is:
x = -5
The value of the coefficient is:
p = -2

Answer:

It will take him 24 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

If it takes him 4 for minutes to run 1/2 mile, then it will most likely take him 8 minutes for 1 mile. Then you multiply 8 by 3, which gives you 24

Danielle makes the claim that when the polynomial x^2-3x-10 is divided by x-5, the remainder is 0. Use what you have learned abo

Mumz [18]

Answer:

<h3>Daniel is correct</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polynomial P(x) = x^2-3x-10

To check that the remainder is zero if divided by x - 5, we will first have to equate x - 5 to zero and get x;

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

Then find P(5)

P(5) = 5^2 - 3(5) - 10

P(5) = 25 - 15 - 10

P(5) = 25-25

P(5) = 0

<em>This shows that x - 5 is a factor of the polynomial since P(5) gave us zero according to the factor theorem</em>

Answer:

(X, Y, Z) = (-2, 3, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can subtract the second equation from the first to get ...

Y -Z = 0

We can add the third equation to the first to get ...

Z = 3

Then ...

Y -3 = 0 ⇒ Y = 3

and ...

X -3 -2(3) = -11

X = -2 . . . . . . . . . add 9

The solution is ...

(X, Y, Z) = (-2, 3, 3)
