Well as x can never actually be -1 because I'm in the denominator -1 + 1 = 0 and we cannot divide by zero. But we can look at what number it approaches and i assume that is the relative value. sometimes functions will have asymptotes and others will have holes in the graph. this one would have an asymptote going down at a rapid rate. the asymptote would go on forever getting infinitely close to -1 but never touching. So I would say since the asymptote goes down forever that the graph approaches negative infinity

If (x+2) is a factor of x^3-6x^2+kx+10, k=

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

If a polynomial is divisible by $x-a$ , then $a$ is a root of this polynomial.
Here (x-a) is equal to x+2:

$x-a=x+2 \\
-a=2 \\
a=-2$

So -2 is a root of the polynomial. That means <span>x³-6x²+kx+10</span>=0 for x=-2. Now substitute -2 for x in the equation and solve for k:

$(-2)^3-6 \times (-2)^2+ k \times (-2)+10=0 \\
-8-6 \times 4-2k+10=0 \\
-8-24-2k+10=0 \\
-2k-22=0 \\
-2k=22 \\
\boxed{k=-11}$
