Let R1 and R2 are the remainders when the polynomials x^3 + 2x^2 − 5ax − 7 and x^3 + ax^2 − 12x + 6 are divided by x + 1 and x −

2 respectively. If R1+R2 = 6, find the value of a.

Answer:

2.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: x³ + 2x² - 5ax - 7      and  x³ + ax² - 12x + 6

Also, R1 + R2 = 6

in order to find the value of a:

Let p(x) = x³ + 2x² - 5ax - 7 and q(x) = x³ + ax² - 12x + 6

Using remainder theorem i.e if a polynomial p(x) is divisible by polynomial of form x - a then remainder is given by p(a).

Then,

R1 = p( -1 ) = (-1)³ + 2(-1)² - 5a(-1) - 7 = -1 + 2 + 5a - 7 = 5a - 6

R2 = q( 2 ) = 2³ + a(2)² - 12(2) + 6 = 8 + 4a - 24 + 6 = 4a - 10

Now,

R1 + R2 = 6

5a - 6 + 4a - 10 = 6

9a = 22

a=2.44

Therefore, Value of a is 2.44

PLZ HELP ASAP ON 3 A B AND C
viktelen [127]
A: From the graph, car B was traveling faster.

Because the line of car B is more steep than the line of car A.

B:
The lines cross at (2,80), this means that the two cars were traveling at the same distance (80 miles) at the same time (2 hours).

C:
Since the line passes through the points (0,0) and (2,80)

So the unit rate or slope is 40 mph.

The distance which car A traveled in the first four hours = 4x40= 160 mph

Find the equation of (2,-1)
Elis [28]
You seem to have forgotten to add in the y-intercept or slope. For the information you have given, it could be any equation, so long as it passes through the point (2, -1), such as
y = -x + 1

How do the particular characteristics of an ecosystem arise?
kumpel [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ecosystems form in response to the unique but predictable climate of each geographic area. And since elevation and topography affect climate, ecosystems are different at different elevations. The life in any given ecosystem is the direct result of elevation, topography, and temperature, and rainfall patterns.
