Answer: a= 16

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following expression:

$(y-4)(y^2 +4y +16)$

To find the value of the coefficient "a" you must use the distributive property to multiply the expression:

$(y-4)(y^2 +4y +16)$

until you transform it to the form:

$y^3 +4y^2 +ay -4y^2 -ay-64$

Then we have

$(y-4)(y^2 +4y +16)\\\\(y^3 +4y^2 +16y -4y^2 -16y-64)\\\\$

Therefore the value of a in the polynomial is 16

The following graph represents the distance a commercial airplane travels over time, at cruising speed and an altitude of 35,000

ANEK [815]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $k=\frac{y}{x}$ or $y=kx$

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

Let

x ----> the time in hours

y ----> the distance in miles

Find the value of k

For the point (4,2268)

$k=\frac{2,268}{4}=567\ mph$

The slope represent the speed of the airplane

The linear equation is

$y=567x$

Part 1 :

The point (0,0) represents the starting point of the aircraft, when the time and distance are equal to zero. The cruising starts when time t = 0.

Part 2 :

The point (4, 2268) represents the plane after 4 hours of cruise , and shows it has traveled a distance of 2268 miles after 4 hours

Given A(-3, 6) and B(0, 6), what are the coordinates of point P that lies on segment AB, such that AP:PB = 2:1? A: (2, -2) B: (-

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

(-1 1/2, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The mid point between A(-3,6) and B(0,6) represents the coordinates of point P, which is (x,y)

Hence,the coordinates, that is, AP: x = (-3 + 0)/2 = -3/2 = -1 1/2

also, BP: y = (6 + 6)/2 = 6

Therefore, the coordinates of point P = ( -1 1/2, 6)
