If (x-2) is a factor of x^3+kx^2 +12x-8 then k=?

Mathematics
1 answer:
AURORKA [14]3 years ago
5 0

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

Find the axis of symmetry for this parabola:
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the axis of symmetry for a parabola in standard form

y = ax² + bx + c : a ≠ 0 is found using

x = - \frac{b}{2a}

y = - x² - 2x - 5 ← is in standard form

with a = - 1 and b = - 2, thus equation of axis of symmetry is

x = - \frac{-2}{-2} = - 1

Equation of axis of symmetry is x = - 1
