8 0

Answer:

24, 14

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 38

x = 10 + y

You can substitute (10+y) into the top equation where the x is.

10 + y + y = 38

10 + 2y = 38

2y = 28

y = 14

Now plug 14 in for y in either equation to get x

x = 10 + 14

x = 24

Is (x + 7) a factor of f(x) = x^3 − 3x^2 + 2^x − 8? Use either the remainder theorem or the factor theorem to explain your reaso

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Not a factor

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use Factor Theorem to answer this question. According to this theorem, in order to find if (x - a) is a factor of a polynomial f(x), calculate f(a). If f(a) comes out to be equal to zero, this will mean that (x-a) is factor of f(x).

Here, the expression we have is (x + 7), so we need to find f(-7) in order to check if (x+7) is a factor of f(x) or not

$f(x)=x^{3}-3x^{2}+2x-8$
