Answer:

Factor theorem: f(-5) = 0.

Synthetic division: f(x) = (x + 5)\, (2\, x^2 -3\, x + 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Factor Theorem</h3>

By the factor theorem, a monomial of the form (x - a) (where a is a constant) is a factor of polynomial f(x) if and only if f(a) = 0.

In this question, the monomial is (x + 5), which is equivalently (x - (-5)). a = -5.

\begin{aligned}& f(-5) \\ &= 2 \times (-5)^{3} + 7 \times (-5)^{2}- 14\times (-5) + 5\\ &= -250 + 175 + 70 + 5 \\ &= 0\end{aligned}.

Hence, by the factor theorem,  (x + 5), which is equivalent to (x - (-5)), is a factor of f(x).

<h3>Synthetic Division</h3>

\begin{aligned}& f(x) \\ &= 2\, x^{3} + 7\, x^{2} - 14\, x + 5 \\ &= \underbrace{(x + 5) \, (2\, x^2)}_{2\, x^{3} + 10\, x^{2}} - 3\, x^{2} - 14\, x + 5 \\ &= \underbrace{(x + 5) \, (2\, x^2)}_{2\, x^{3} + 10\, x^{2}} + \underbrace{(x + 5)\, (-3\, x)}_{-3\, x^{2} - 15\, x} + (x + 5) \\ &= (x + 5)\, (2\, x^{2} - 3\, x + 1)\end{aligned}.

The remainder is 0 when dividing f(x) by (x + 5). Hence, (x + 5)\! is a factor of f(x)\!.

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line defined by the equation y = 3x + 6 and goes through the point (3,
saw5 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope. The slope of the given line is 3. The easy way to do this, the one that uses our logical brains as opposed to our mathematical brain, tells us that since there is only one choice that has a given slope of 3, that is the one that we want. The second choice down is the only one that has a slope of 3.

Mathematically,

y-2=3(x-3) and

y-2=3x=9 and

y=3x-9+2 so

y = 3x - 7 (the second choice)

Jack charges $40 initial fee plus $30 an hour to work on vehicles. Mark charges $25 an hour with a $50 initial fee. to work on v
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equal number of hours be represented by variable H;

The two equations will be as follows;

Jack; 40 +30H

Mark; 50 +25H

Next, equate them;

40 + 30H = 50 + 25H

30H - 25H = 50 - 40

5H = 10

H =10/5

H = 2hrs

Therefore, they charge the same amount at 2 hrs.

B.) The amount charged;

Replace the variable H in any of the two equations above with 2 to solve for the amount.

Equation 40+30H = 40 + (30*2)

=40 + 60

= $100

Eduardo has to make a 10 minute video of his test corrections for his Algebra 2 teacher in order to be eligible to retest. His t
shutvik [7]

Answer:

7 ≤ v ≤ 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of video required must be within 10 minutes

Submitted length of video must be with 3 minutes of the 10 minutes video

To create an absolute value inequality :

Let v = the range of value for which the required video will be :

|v - 10| = ±3

Lower boundary :

|v - 10| = - 3

v = - 3 + 10

v = 7

Upper boundary :

|v - 10| = 3

v = 3 + 10

v = 13

Hence,

7 ≤ v ≤ 13

Show that the roots of the equations
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

The roots are real and distinct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following equation:

x^{2} + kx - k -2 =0

In this problem, a = 1, b = k and c = -k - 2

The discriminant is b² - 4ac, and for the roots to be real and distinct, it must be at least or greater than 0.

We get,

(k)²- 4(1)(-k - 2) = 1 - 4(-k - 2)

= k² + 4k + 8

Let's check:

At k = -2,

(-2)^{2} + 4(-2) + 8 = 4 - 8 + 8 = 4&#10;&#10;&#10;

At k = 0,

(0)^2 + 4(0) + 8 = 8

At k = -100,

(-100)^2 + 4(-100) + 8 = 10,000 - 400 + 8 = 9608

Therefore, we can conclude that for all values of k, the roots are real and distinct.

This has been a long way in answering this question, so it would be great if you could mark me as brainliest
