<h3>Answer: n = -11</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

Since x-2 is a factor of f(x), this means f(2) = 0.

More generally, if x-k is a factor of p(x), then p(k) = 0. This is a special case of the remainder theorem.

So if we plugged x = 2 into f(x), we'd get

f(x) = x^3+x^2+nx+10

f(2) = 2^3+2^2+n(2)+10

f(2) = 8+4+2n+10

f(2) = 2n+22

Set this equal to 0 and solve for n

2n+22 = 0

2n = -22

n = -22/2

n = -11 is the answer

Therefore, x-2 is a factor of f(x) = x^3+x^2-11x+10

Plug x = 2 into that updated f(x) function to find....

f(x) = x^3+x^2-11x+10

f(2) = 2^3+2^2-11(2)+10

f(2) = 8+4-22+10

f(2) = 0

Which confirms our answer.

the coordinates of points a and b are (2,4) and (-2,-4) respectively. what is the slope of the line that connects the two points
solmaris [256]

we are given two points as

(2,4) and (-2,-4)

Let's assume

first point as (x1,y1)=(2,4)

so, x1=2 and y1=4

Second  point as (x2,y2)=(-2,-4)

so, x2=-2 and y2=-4

now, we can use slope formula

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

now, we can plug values

m=\frac{-4-4}{-2-2}

now, we can simplify it

m=2

so, slope is 2 ..................Answer

Expression when m=8 and n=7 n+6m
Andrews [41]
All you have to do is plug m and n into the equation:

n+6m

Since n=7, you'll get:

7+6m

And since m=8, you'll get:

7+6(8)

And by doing the order of operations (PEMDAS), you'll start off multiplying 6 and 8, which is 48, then add 7, which is 55.

Your answer should be 55!
