Mathematics

Answer:

a = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

x-1 = 0

x = 1

let x³ + ax² -x -8 be p(x)

hence, p(1) = (1)³ + a(1)² -1 -8 = 0    (since, x-1 is a factor)

= 1 + a - 1-8

= a - 8 = 0

therefore, a = 8

The surface area of a cube is 1,014^2. Find the volume of the cube.
Marta_Voda [28]
Let the length of one side of the cube be x.  Then the surface area of the cube is A = 6x^2 = 1014 cubic units.  We want the cube volume, so must first solve for x and then cube the result:
       
                               1014 cu. in.
x = square root of  ----------------- = sqrt(169) = 13
                                        6

The volume of this cube is thus (13 units)^3 = 4826809 cubic units.
