Answers:</h3>
total number of pages = 550 pages
total amount of time to read the full book = 10 hours
======================================================
Work Shown:
1 hour = 55 pages
4 hours = 220 pages ... multiply both sides by 4
After 4 hours, he had read 220 pages. Since he has 330 still left to read, this brings the total to 220+330 = 550 pages overall
550/55 = 10 hours is the total amount of time needed to read the entire book at a rate of 55 pages per hour. This is assuming the rate is kept constant.
While 10 hours is a lot, it's somewhat plausible to get the full book read in one continuous session. Though he is better off taking (short) breaks every now and then.
Given:
The function is

The binomial
is a factor of f(x).
To find:
The value of
.
Solution:
If
is a factor of f(x), then
.
It is given that,
is a factor of f(x), then
.
We have,

Substituting x=4, we get




Now,





Therefore, the value of a is 5.
