No. (-1/2) is not an integer

Integers involve all the no. +ve and -ve. which can be written without fraction. ie whole no. are counted as integers.

If x+a is a factor of 2x²+2ax+5x+10,find a.

vazorg [7]

If $x+a$ is a factor of the polynomial, it means that $-a$ is a root of the polynomial.

In fact, if a polynomial $p(x)$ has a root $x_0$ (i.e. $p(x_0)=0$ ), then the polynomial is divisible by $(x-x_0)$

In your case, you know that the polynomial is divisible by $(x+a)=(x-(-a))$ , so $-a$ is a solution.

Let's evaluate $p(-a)$ and set it to zero:

$2(-a)^2+2a(-a)+5(-a)+10 = 0 \iff 2a^2-2a^2-5a+10=0 \iff -5a+10 = 0 \iff a = 2$

We can check the answer: if $a=2$ the polynomial becomes

$2x^2+2(2)x+5x+10 = 2x^2+9x+10$

And we're claiming that $-a=-2$ is a root of this polynomial:

$2(-2)^2+9(-2)+10 = 2\cdot 4 - 18 + 10 = 0$

Violet made cookies for the bake sale. 7/10 of the cookies are chocolate chip. 3/4 of the remaining cookies are sugar. What frac

FromTheMoon [43]

We know that 7/10 of the cookies are chocolate chip, so that means there are 3/10 of the cookies left.
We now want to find what 3/4 of 3/10 is.
We can do this by multiplying both fractions
3/4x3/10 (we just multiply across) to get 9/40.
We cannot simplify this answer, so our final answer is 9/40 of the cookies are sugar cookies.

Is it possible for two equations to have more than one solution? what would that look like?

goblinko [34]

Its a little complicated, so I cant rlly explain it on here. But yes, 2 questions can have more than one solution. Like how theres a problem in a story, but theres plenty of solutions to solve it.
