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

Town C is 2 miles east of town A and 2 miles south of Town B as in the figure at right. which of the following is the best estim
Ray Of Light [21]
Since C is 2mi east of A and 2mi south of B, the shortest distance from A to B would be a straight line which is equal to the hypotenuse of a right triangle with a base of 2mi and a height of 2mi..

d^2=x^2+y^2

d^2=2^2+2^2

d^2=4+4

d^2=2*4

d=√(2*4)

d=2√2 mi  (exact)

d≈2.83 mi  (to nearest hundredth of a mile)

Ed signed up for a weight-loss program. The table shows his weight in pounds of the terms of the number of weeks since he began
scoray [572]
Ed : (0,205)(4,197)
slope(m) = (197 - 205) / (4 - 0) = -8/4 = -2

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2
(0,205)...x = 0 and y = 205
time to sub
205 = -2(0) + b
205 = b
equation is : y = -2x + 205...so Ed loses 2 lbs per week

Eric :
y = -1.5x + 200...so Eric loses 1.5 lbs per week

when they started, Ed weighed 205 lbs and Eric weighed 200 lbs

* of the two, Eric loses fewer lbs per week. When the two began their respective weight-loss programs, Ed was heavier by 5 lbs.
