If a binomial x-a is a factor of a polynomial p(x), then p(a)=0.

x+2 is a factor of p(x)=x³-6x²+kx+10, so p(-2)=0.

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

The Wallow Fire of 2011 burned 538,000 acres in eastern Arizona. a. If one square mile is 640 acres, how many square miles did t

balu736 [363]

a) The fire burnt 840.6 square miles

b) The fire burnt 16.8 tempe

Step-by-step explanation:

1 square mile = 640 acres

a) to find how many square miles did the fire burn:

Total area the fire burn = 538000 acres

1 square miles = 640 acres

Concert the acres into square miles

538000/ 640 = 840.6 square miles

The fire burnt 840.6 square miles

b) 50 square miles= 1 temperatures

The no. Of tempe the fire burn = 840.6/50

= 16.8 tempe

The fire burnt 16.8 tempe

What is the constant of variation, k,

ValentinkaMS [17]

The K-constant variation is the factor of the increase-decrease relationship between the x-variable and y-variable which can be stated as y=k*x or x=y/k<span>. For example, if y variable equal 5 and the x variable equal 2 then the k-constant variation equal 2 (calculation y=k*x --> 5=2*2.5). This constant shows the relationship between the variables.</span>

The students in Mr. Wilson's Physics class are making golf ball catapults. The

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Part a) About 48.6 feet

Part b) About 8.3 feet

Part c) The domain is $0 \leq x \leq 48.6\ ft$ and the range is $0 \leq y \leq 8.3\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$y=-0.014x^{2} +0.68x$

This is a vertical parabola open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)

The vertex represent a maximum

where

x is the ball's distance from the catapult in feet

y is the flight of the balls in feet

Part a) How far did the ball fly?

Find the x-intercepts or the roots of the quadratic equation

Remember that

The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of y is equal to zero

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$-0.014x^{2} +0.68x=0$

$a=-0.014\\b=0.68\\c=0$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-0.68(+/-)\sqrt{0.68^{2}-4(-0.014)(0)}} {2(-0.014)}$

$x=\frac{-0.68(+/-)0.68} {(-0.028)}$

$x=\frac{-0.68(+)0.68} {(-0.028)}=0$

$x=\frac{-0.68(-)0.68} {(-0.028)}=48.6\ ft$

therefore

The ball flew about 48.6 feet

Part b) How high above the ground did the ball fly?

Find the maximum (vertex)

$y=-0.014x^{2} +0.68x$

Find out the derivative and equate to zero

$0=-0.028x +0.68$

Solve for x

$0.028x=0.68$

$x=24.3$

<em>Alternative method</em>

To determine the x-coordinate of the vertex, find out the midpoint between the x-intercepts

$x=(0+48.6)/2=24.3\ ft$

To determine the y-coordinate of the vertex substitute the value of x in the quadratic equation and solve for y

$y=-0.014(24.3)^{2} +0.68(24.3)$

$y=8.3\ ft$

the vertex is the point (24.3,8.3)

therefore

The ball flew above the ground about 8.3 feet

Part c) What is a reasonable domain and range for this function?

we know that

A reasonable domain is the distance between the two x-intercepts

$0 \leq x \leq 48.6\ ft$

All real numbers greater than or equal to 0 feet and less than or equal to 48.6 feet

A reasonable range is all real numbers greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex

we have the interval -----> [0,8.3]

$0 \leq y \leq 8.3\ ft$

All real numbers greater than or equal to 0 feet and less than or equal to 8.3 feet
