Let P(x) = 3x³-ax+b. If P(1) = P(-1) and P(2)=16, find the values of a and b
kozerog [31]

P(1) = P(-1)

P(1) = 3 - a + b
P(-1) = -3 + a + b

-> 3 - a + b = -3 + a + b
-> 3 - a + b + 3 - a - b = 0
-> 6 - 2a = 0
-> a = 3.

P(2) = 24 - 2a + b -> 24 - (2a - b) = 16 -> 2a - b = 8
-> 6 - b = 8
b = -2.

So, a = 3 and b = -2

Recheck : P(1) = 3 - 3 + (-2) = -2
P(-1) = -3 + 3 + (-2) = -2 => P(1) = P(-1) (true)

P(2) = 24 - 6 + (-2) = 16.

Help with math homework pls! NO WRONG ANSWERS!!!
Masteriza [31]

We have been given the expression

\frac{a\cdot a \cdot a \cdot a \cdot a \cdot a }{a}

We have to write this expression in the form a^n

In order to write the given expression in this form, we can use some exponent property.

(1) x^a\cdot x^b= x^{a+b}\\\\(2)\frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}

On using the property (1), we have

\frac{a\cdot a \cdot a \cdot a \cdot a \cdot a }{a}\\\\=\frac{a^{1+1+1+1+1+1}}{a}\\\\\frac{a^6}{a}

Now, on using the property (2), we get

\frac{a^6}{a}\\\\=a^{6-1}\\\\=a^5

Therefore, the simplified form of the given expression is

a^5
