Answer:

k =  -9

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x²+kx-20

From remainder theorem,

x = 10 and f(10) = 90

f(10) = 90

Subsitute the value of x into the expression above.

f(10) = 2(10²)+10k-20 = 90

200+10k-20 = 90

Solve for k by collecting like terms

10 k = 90+20-200

10k = 110-200

10k = -90

k = -90/10

k = -9.

Hence the value of the constant is -9

Dan is cutting 4.75 foot length of twine from a 240 foot spoil of twine. He needs to cut 42 lengths and says that 40.5 feet of t
Bad White [126]

1 length is 4.75 feet

42 lengths = x feet            Cross multiply

1 * x = 42 * 4.75                  Multiply on the right

x = 199.5

amount left = amount started with - amount amount used

Amount left = ???

Amount started with = 240 feet.

Amount used = 199.5               Substitute

Amount left = 240 - 199.5        Subtract

Amount left = 40.5                    Answer

Determine and state the coordinates of the center and length of the radius of a circle whose equation is
padilas [110]
First, rewrite the equation in standard form.
The center-radius form of the circle equation<span> is in the format:
(x – h)^</span>2<span> + (y – k)^</span>2<span> = r^</span>2
<span>with the center being at the </span>point<span> (h, k) and the radius being "r".
</span>
(x-3)^2 + (y+4)^2 = 81

From here, you can determine the center and radius. The center is at (3,-4) and the radius is 9.

What is more important: to formulate a believable, testable hypothesis or to develop a good strategy to test the hypothesis accu
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

It's a matter of opinion. In my opinion you can hypothesize all you want, when  you get to do it in practice it's almost 100% garantee of failure or incomplete hypothesis. So testing is way more important IMO.
