Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the polynomial:
And we want to determine the value of <em>k</em> such that (<em>x</em> - 2) is a factor of the polynomial.
Recall that the Factor Theorem states that a binomial (<em>x</em> - <em>a</em>) is a factor of a polynomial P(x) if and only if P(a) = 0.
Our binomial factor is (<em>x</em> - 2). Thus, <em>a</em> = 2.
Hence, by the Factor Theorem, P(2) must equal zero.
Find P(2):
This must equal zero. Hence:
In conclusion, <em>k</em> = 34/3.
By synthetic division,
-5 | 1 -6 -42 79
. | -5 55 -65
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
. | 1 -11 13 14
When
, you're left with a remainder of 14.
Answer:
m = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given w is inversely proportional to m then the equation relating them is
w = 
← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition w = 8, m = 25 , then
8 = 
( multiply both sides by 25 )
200 = k
w = 
← equation of variation
When w = 20 , then
20 = ( multiply both sides by m )
20m = 200 ( divide both sides by 20 )
m = 10
