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

katrin [286]

Answer:

Circumference: 37.68

Area: 113.04

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula to find the circumference is 2 x 3.14 x r

r is the radius so you plug in 6 for that

2 x 3.14 x 6 = 37.68

the formula to find the area of a circle is 3.14 x r ²

r is still the radius so you plug in 6 for that

3.14 x 6² = 113.04
