Answer:

The answer to your question is a = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

root = -1

Polynomial     p(x) = ax³ - x² + x + 4

Process            

If -1 is a root of the polynomial, then, we must equal the polynomial to zero and substitute -1 and solve it for a.

1.- Equal to zero

                              ax³ - x² + x + 4 = 0

2.- Evaluate in -1

                              a(-1)³ - (-1)² + (-1) + 4 = 0

3.- Simplification

                                    - a -1 - 1 + 4 = 0

                                   -a + 2 = 0

4.-Solve for a

                                     -a = -2

                                      a = 2

Answer:

a = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

-1 is a zero of the polynomial p(x)

means

a(-1)³- (-1)²+ (-1) + 4 = 0

means

-a - 1 - 1 + 4 = 0

means

a = 2

A line y=mx+b is translated using the vector . Write the equation of the translated line. What is the value of the y -intercept?
schepotkina [342]

The found value are-

  • Equation of the translated line: y = mx − am + 2b.
  • The value of the y -intercept: 2b − am.
<h3>What is general form of straight line?</h3>

A straight line's general equation is y = mx + c, in which m is the gradient and y = c is the value at which the line intersects the y-axis. This number c is known as the y-axis intercept.

Now, as per the given question;

The general equation of the line is given as;

y = mx + b

Each point (x,y) of the line is moved to the point (x+a, y+b) by the translation:

(x,y) ---> (x+a, y+b)

We find the original line's x and y intercepts:

Put y=0 in general equation of the line

⇒mx+b = 0

⇒x = −b/m

When, x=0

⇒y = m⋅0 + b

⇒ y = b

A, (0,b) and B( -b/m, 0)

We find the translational coordinates of the points A,B:

A(0,b) ---> A′ (0+a,b+b)

A(0,b) ---> A′ (a,2b)

And,

B( -b/m, 0) ----> B'( -b/m + a, 0 + b)

B( -b/m, 0) ----> B'( -b/m + a, b)

To find the equation of the line's translation, we use the points A and B ′:

m' = (2b - b)/[a  - (-b/m +a)]

m' = b/(b/m)

m'  =m

And,

y−yA' = m' (x−xA')

y−2b=m(x−a)

y=mx−am+2b

The translation of the line's x and y intercepts are:

Put x=0

⇒y = m⋅0−am+2b

⇒y = 2b−am

And, put y=0

⇒0 = mx−am+2b

⇒x = a - (2b/m)

Therefore, the equation of the translate line is found to be  y = mx − am + 2b.

And, the value of the y-intercept is found to be 2b−am.
