Answer:

k = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since (x - 2) is a factor then x = 2 is a root

Substitute x = 2 into the polynomial and equate to zero, that is

2³ + k(2)² + 12(2) - 8 = 0

8 + 4k + 24 - 8 = 0

4k + 24 = 0 ( subtract 24 from both sides )

4k = - 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

k = - 6

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

$Each = 14.22\ oz$

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The options are missing. However, the question is still solvable</em>

Given

$People = 9$

$Soda = 128\ oz$

Required

Determine the amount each person will drink

To do this, we simply divide the size of the soda by the number of people.

$Each = \frac{Soda}{People}$

$Each = \frac{128\ oz}{9}$

$Each = 14.22\ oz$
