Answer:

k=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

f(x)=2x^3+18x^2-18x-162

We factor 2 to obtain;

f(x)=2(x^3+9x^2-9x-81)

We factor the polynomial within the parenthesis by grouping.

f(x)=2(x^2(x+9)-9(x+9)

f(x)=2(x^2-9)(x+9)

f(x)=2(x^2-3^2)(x+9)

We apply difference of two squares on the second factor: x^2-3^2=(x-3)(x+3)

f(x)=2(x+3)(x-3)(x+9)

We now compare to;

f(x)=2(x+k)(x-k)(x+9)

It is now obvious that k=3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle IJK is a right angle triangle.

From the given right angle triangle

JK represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

With ∠K as the reference angle,

IK represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

IJ represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine Cos K, we would apply trigonometric ratio

Cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse. Therefore,

Cos K = 36/85

Cos K = 0.4235

Rounding up to the nearest hundredth,

Cos K = 0.42

Find the slope of the line with the given equation. Show your work.<br> 6x – 2y = 18
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
Currently the equation 6x - 2y = 18 is in standard form. Convert the standard form equation into a slope-intercept form and we can find the slope easily.

Solve for y.

6x - 2y = 18
-2y        = 18 - 6x <-- Subtract 6x from each side. This is to isolate the 2y term
2y / -2  = \frac{18 - 6x}{2} <-- Divide each side by 2. This it to
                                                               get rid of the 2 coefficient.
y = -9 + 3x

Rearrange the right-hand side a bit.

y = -9 + 3x becomes y = 3x - 9

Now it is in slope-intercept form.
The slope is the coefficient of the x variable.

So, 3 is the slope.
