<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.

Simplify (92 – 3 × 7) ÷ (7 – 3)
Illusion [34]

Answer:

17 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: (92 - 3*7)/(7-3)

PEMDAS so parenthesis first. Then multiplication so 7 times 3 is 21. For 7 minus 3 would be four. Like this: (92-21)/4

Subtraction: 71/4

Answer: 17 3/4

Solve this system of linear equations. separate x and y values with a comma. 7x=-67-11y 5x=-73-11y​
Aleks [24]

Answer:

3, -8

(x is equal to 3 and y is equal to -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The system:</u>

{ 7x=-67-11y

{ 5x=-73-11y​

<u>Finding a value for x:</u>

7x=-67-11y -> x = -\frac{67}{7} - \frac{11y}{7}

<u>Solving for y by plugging in our x:</u>

[Equation] 5x = -73 -11y​

[Plug-in] 5(-\frac{67}{7} - \frac{11y}{7}) = -73 -11y​

[Distribute the 5] -\frac{335}{7} - \frac{55y}{7} = -73 -11y​

[Multiply by 7] 7 (-\frac{335}{7} - \frac{55y}{7}) = (-73 -11y​) 7

[Simplify] -335 - 55y = -511 - 77y

[Add 335 and 77y to both sides] 22y = -176

[Divide by 22] y = -8

<u>Plug in our y to solve for x:</u>

5x = -73 -11y​

5x = -73 -11(-8)

5x = -73 + 88

5x = 15

x = 3

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)
