Given that f(x)=5x^3+ax^2-4x-2 and that (x-1) is a factor of f(x), find a.

Mathematics
1 answer:
stepladder [879]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

a=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Because x-1 is factor of f(x)

for x1=1, f(1)=0, then

f(1)=5*1^3+a*1^2-4*1-2=0

5*1+a*1-4-2=0

5+a-6=0

a-1=0

a=1

Suppose we have a binomial experiment in which success is defined to be a particular quality or attribute that interests us.
mestny [16]

For a binomial experiment in which success is defined to be a particular quality or attribute that interests us, with n=36 and p as 0.23,  we can approximate p hat by a normal distribution.

Since n=36 , p=0.23 , thus q= 1-p = 1-0.23=0.77

therefore,

n*p= 36*0.23 =8.28>5

n*q = 36*0.77=27.22>5

and therefore, p hat can be approximated by a normal random variable, because n*p>5 and n*q>5.

The question is incomplete, a possible complete question is:

Suppose we have a binomial experiment in which success is defined to be a particular quality or attribute that interests us.

Suppose n = 36 and p = 0.23. Can we approximate p hat by a normal distribution? Why? (Use 2 decimal places.)

n*p = ?

n*q = ?

Write the equation of the given line in slope-intercept form.​
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

y = 2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form: y=mx+b

point a: (1, 1)

point b: (2, 3)

1. Find the slope of the equation

Equation for slope(mx): (y2- y1)/ (x2-x1)

(3-1)/(2-1)= 2

slope: 2

2. Pick any of the two point to find the "b" and plug in the coordinates of the point to find the y-intercept of the equation.

point a: y=1, x=1

y=mx+b

1=2(1) + b

b= -1

3. Plug the answers you found above into the slope-intercept form

Overall equation:

y=2x - 1

A rug has an area of 122. 12 ft.² the rug is 8.7 feet wide to the nearest hundredth how many feet long is the rug
daser333 [38]
Let x be the length of the rug
Area = length x width
122.12 = (x)(8.7)
x = 122.12/8.7
   = 14.04 feet

Please help thank you
Makovka662 [10]
1)
45x^3+5x
the GCF is 5x because that is a factor of both.
The answer would be 5x(9x^2+1)

2)
u^2-5u+6
factoring is finding what multiplies to the last number to add to the middle number. Those numbers are -3 and -2.
the answer would be (u-3)(u+2)

3)
m^2-49
difference of perfect squares
answer is (m+7)(m-7)

4)
x^5+4x^4+3x^3
GCF is x^3 so it's x^3(x^2+4x+3)
Factor that and it's x^3(x+3)(x+1)
