Answer:
a = - 2, b = - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute the values of the zeros into the polynomial and equate to zero.
x² +(a + 1)x + b
x = - 2 → (- 2)² - 2(a + 1) + b = 0 , that is
4 - 2a - 2 + b = 0
2 - 2a + b = 0 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
- 2a + b = - 2 → (1)
x = 3 → 3² + 3(a + 1) + b = 0, that is
9 + 3a + 3 + b = 0
12 + 3a + b = 0 ( subtract 12 from both sides )
3a + b = - 12 → (2)
Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate b
5a = - 10 ( divide both sides by 5 )
a = - 2
Substitute a = - 2 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for b
Substituting into (2)
3(- 2) + b = - 12
- 6 + b = - 12 ( add 6 to both sides )
b = - 6
Thus a = - 2 and b = - 6

Answer:
15 2/3, or 47/3
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm going to assume, correctly or not, that you actually meant f(x) = 2x^2 - (1/3)x + 5. Double check on this right now, please.
If I'm right, then evaluate f(x) at x = 0 and x = 8:
f(0) = 5
and
f(8) = 2(8)^2 - (1/3)(8) + 5 = 128 - 8/3 + 5 = 133 - (2 2/3), or: 130 1/3
Then the average rate of change of f(x) = 2x^2 - (1/3)x + 5 over the interval [0,8] is:
130 1/3 - 5 125 1/3
a. r. c. = ------------------- = ---------------- = 15 2/3, or 47/3
8 - 0 8
