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

Which expression results when the change of base formula is applied to log4 (x + 2)?
aksik [14]
You haven't shared the possible answers, so the best I can do (which is very good!) is to assume we want to change from base 4 to base 10 and then apply the change of base formula.

Given log-to-the-base-4-of (x+2), we want log-to-the-base-10 of (x+2).  Following the change of base formula,
                                                log-to-the-base-4-of (x+2)
log-to-the-base-10 of (x+2) = ------------------------------------
                                                  log-to-the-base-4-of-10

Is1/10 and 3/33 epuivalant
sveta [45]
3/33 can be reduced to 1/11 by dividing by 3 on the top and bottom.
1/11 is not equal to 1/10. Although they have the same numerator or number on top, 1, they don't have the same number in the bottom. 
So they are not equivalent.
Hope this helps.
