If <em>x</em> + 1 is a factor of <em>p(x)</em> = <em>x</em>³ + <em>k</em> <em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> + 6, then by the remainder theorem, we have
<em>p</em> (-1) = (-1)³ + <em>k</em> (-1)² + (-1) + 6 = 0 → <em>k</em> = -4
So we have
<em>p(x)</em> = <em>x</em>³ - 4<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> + 6
Dividing <em>p(x)</em> by <em>x</em> + 1 (using whatever method you prefer) gives
<em>p(x)</em> / (<em>x</em> + 1) = <em>x</em>² - 5<em>x</em> + 6
Synthetic division, for instance, might go like this:
-1 | 1 -4 1 6
... | -1 5 -6
----------------------------
... | 1 -5 6 0
Next, we have
<em>x</em>² - 5<em>x</em> + 6 = (<em>x</em> - 3) (<em>x</em> - 2)
so that, in addition to <em>x</em> = -1, the other two zeros of <em>p(x)</em> are <em>x</em> = 3 and <em>x</em> = 2
no. of boys : no.of girls
100 : 140
to get the simplest ratio you gotta divide both with a common factor
Because both 100 and 140 share a common factor of 20
the simplest ratio will be
100/20 : 140/20
5:7
5:7 is the simplest ratio
Answer:5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
choose two coordinates (40,0) and (70,50) then use y2-y1/x2-x1. when you plug the numbers in 50-0/70-40, subtract 50/30, and simplify, you get 5/3
13-3/2 you need to make a common denominator, so
26/2-3/2 then subtract the numerators, the denominator remains.
23/2 now simplify the fraction
11½ this is because 22/2+1/2=23/2, and 22/2=11, so 11+1/2 or 11½
