Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given (x + h) is a factor of f(x) then f(- h) = 0

Given

p(x) = x³ - 4x² + ax + 20 , with (x + 1) as a factor then

p(- 1) = (- 1)³ - 4(- 1)² - a + 20 = 0 , that is

- 1 - 4 - a + 20 = 0

15 - a = 0 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

- a = - 15 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

a = 15 , thus

p(x) = x³ - 4x² + 15x + 20

If p(x) is divided by (x + h) then p(- h) is the remainder, so

p(- 2) = (- 2)³ - 4(- 2)² + 15(- 2) + 20 , that is

- 8 - 16 - 30 + 20 = - 34 → A

What is the equation for

WARRIOR [948]

The equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line is y = –4x – 16.

Solution:

The equation of a line given is y = 0.25x – 7

Slope of the given line( $m_1$ ) = 0.25

Let $m_2$ be the slope of the perpendicular line.

Passes through the point (–6, 8).

<em>If two lines are perpendicular then the product of the slopes equal to –1.</em>

$\Rightarrow m_1 \cdot m_2=-1$

$\Rightarrow 0.25\cdot m_2=-1$

$\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{-1}{0.25}$

$\Rightarrow m_2=-4$

Point-slope intercept formula:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$x_1=-6, y_1=8$ and $m=-4$

Substitute these in the formula, we get

$y-8=-4(x-(-6))$

$y-8=-4(x+6)$

$y-8=-4x-24$

Add 8 on both sides of the equation.

$y-8+8=-4x-24+8$

$y=-4x-16$

Hence the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line is

y = –4x – 16

A car with 15 gallons of gasoline drives 420 miles until the tank is empty. Write a linear equation that describes the amount of

storchak [24]

Answer:

$y = -\dfrac{1}{28}x + 15$

Step-by-step explanation:

The car uses 15 gallons of gasoline to drive 420 miles.

(15 gal)/(420 mi) = 1/28 gal/mi

The car uses 1/28 gallon of gasoline per mile.

y = mx + b

When x = 0, at the start of the drive, the car has 15 gallons of gasoline.

y = mx + 15

Then for every mile it travels, the amount of gasoline goes down by 1/28 gal. For x miles of travel, it uses 1/28 * x gallons of gasoline.

$y = -\dfrac{1}{28}x + 15$

Find the measure of X plz

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

X = 44°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle other than 68°and and x is also 68° because its a isosceles triangle.

so 68° + 68° + x = 180° (angle sum property)

136° + x = 180°

x = 180 - 136

= 44°

hope this helps.
