Find K if x + 1 is a factor of P(x) = Kx^2-x+2

Mathematics
1 answer:
wlad13 [49]2 years ago

Answer:

K=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Factor Theorem, a binomial (<em>x</em> - <em>a</em>) is a factor of a polynomial P(x) if and only if P(a) = 0.

We have the polynomial:

P(x)=Kx^2-x+2

And we want to find the value of <em>K</em> such that (<em>x</em> + 1) is a factor.

We can rewrite our factor as (<em>x</em> - (-1)). Thus, <em>a</em> = -1.

Then in orer for (<em>x</em> + 1) to be a factor, P(-1) must equal 0. Hence:

P(-1)=K(-1)^2-(-1)+2=0

Simplify:

K+1+2=0

Solve for <em>K. </em>Hence:

K=-3

Write the equivalent logarithmic equation to 10^a = x+b
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is   log₁₀ x + b = a        

Step-by-step explanation:

General formula

                 Logarithmic function                Exponential function

                           log ₐ b = c                                  b^{c} = a

a = antilogaritm                                               c = exponent

b = base                                                          b = base

c = logaritm                                                     a = power

In your problem

10 = base

a = exponent

x + b = power

Exponential function              log₁₀ x + b = a

SOLVE THE EQUATION<br> −9(x + 6) + 60 = 13 − 10x
yuradex [85]

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

−9(x + 6) + 60 = 13 − 10x

Distribute

−9x -54 + 60 = 13 − 10x

Combine like terms

-9x +6 = 13 -10x

Add 10x to each side

-9x+10x +6 = 13-10x+10x

x +6 = 13

Subtract 6 from each side

x+6-6=13-6

x = 7

Select all of the statements that are true for the given parabola.
Naddik [55]

Answer:

A & D

Step-by-step explanation:

The parabola opens up, so the minimum value of y is at the point (1, -2) and the graph passes thru the x-axis at 3 and -1, so those are the x-intercepts.

The axis  of symmetry is x = 1, not y = -2 and the graph never has a maximum value.  Parabolas that open up never have a maximum value.
