Answer:

E. a = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

View Image

The question is asking for what the value of a is for the given polynomial.

They gave you a factor to that polynomial, (x+a), and told you that a can be any real number beside 0.

You might remember that when you factor an equation, all you're doing is finding for what value of x will give you an answer of 0.

This is what you're doing now but in reverse. You're given x+a as a factor, so you know that x=-a will make the function equal 0.

So plug x=-a into the function and solve for a. You'd find that you get a=0 and a=2; however, the question stated that a≠0, so the only answer left is a=2.

What are the degree and leading coefficient of the polynomial of 12u3 -8 + 23u
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Degree: 3

Leading Coefficient: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the highest power to determine the degree, in this case it's 3. Then identify the term with the highest power (12u^3) to find the leading coefficient.

So, because 3 is the largest and only power in this equation, it is the degree. 12u^3 is the leading term (term containing the highest degree) and 12 is the coefficient attatched to the term. Hope that helped!

makkiz [27]

Answer:

a. Scale Perimeter : 2.5 centimeters

Actual Perimeter : 13 centimeters

Actual Area : 10.5 square centimeters

b. Actual Perimeter : 130 mm

Actual Area : 1,050 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 2.5 mm = 0.25 cm

2 (1 + 0.25) = 2.5

2 (3.5 + 3) = 13

3.5 x 3 = 10.5

b. 3.5 cm = 35 mm 3 cm = 30 mm

2 (35 + 30) = 130

35 x 30 = 1050
