Question:

Find numbers a and k so that x-2 is a factor of

f(x)=x^4-2ax^3+ax^2- x+k

and

f(-1)=3

Answer:

k = -2 and a=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x)=x^4-2ax^3+ax^2- x+k

Factor:\ x - 4

f(-1)=3

Required

Find a and k

For f(-1)=3

Substitute -1 for x

f(x)=x^4-2ax^3+ax^2- x+k

f(-1) = (-1)^4 - 2a *(-1)^3 + a*(-1)^2 - (-1) + k

f(-1) = 1 - 2a *-1 + a*1 +1 + k

f(-1) = 1 +2a + a +1 + k

f(-1) = 2 +3a + k

Substitute 3 for f(-1)

3 = 2 +3a + k

Collect Like Terms

3 - 2 = 3a + k

1 = 3a + k

Also:

If x - 2 is a factor, then

f(2) = 0

Substitute 2 for x and 0 for f(x)

f(x)=x^4-2ax^3+ax^2- x+k

0 = 2^4 - 2a * 2^3 + a * 2^2 - 2 + k

0 = 16 - 2a * 8 + a * 4 - 2 + k

0 = 16 - 16a + 4a - 2 + k

0 = 16 - 12a - 2 + k

Collect Like Terms

2 - 16 = - 12a + k

-14 = k - 12a

k = 12a - 14

Substitute 12a - 14 for k in 1 = 3a + k

1 = 3a + 12a - 14

1 = 15a - 14

Collect Like Terms

15a = 1 + 14

15a = 15

Solve for a

a = \frac{15}{15}

a=1

Substitute 1 for a in k = 12a - 14

k = 12 * 1 - 14

k = 12 - 14

k = -2

Which of the following describes the correct process for solving the equation 2x + 6 =22 and arrives at the correct solution
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with 2x+6=22

You subtract 6 from each side of the equation:

2x=16

You want to isolate the "x" so you divide each side by 2.

x = 8

check your answer: 2x + 6 = 22

2(8) + 6 = 22

16 + 6 = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

How are we supposed to find volume if you don't enter the other elements I.e width, length and height?

But just in case the formulae for finding volume is to multiply is elements. So to find volume multiply is width, length and height.
