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

Mathematics
1 answer:
wlad13 [49]2 years ago
8 0

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

hram777 [196]

Answer:

The correct option is (D).

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentiles are statistical measures that are used to interpret data. It represents the data value which is more that a specific percentage of the data set.

The <em>n</em>th percentile of a data set is the value that is more that <em>n</em>% of the data set.

⇒ It is provided that a test-taker's score was at the 94th percentile for their verbal grade.

This statement implies that the test taker scored a mark more than 94% of the other test-takers, i.e. he\she performed better than 94% of the other test-takers in the verbal grade.

⇒ Also the test-taker's score was at the 16th percentile for their quantitative grade.

This implies that the test taker scored a mark more than 16% of the other test-takers, i.e. he\she performed better than 16% of the other test-takers in the quantitative grade.

Thus, the correct option is (D).

A basketball player shoots a free throw in a game. The quadratic expression models the height of the ball, in feet, where t is t
Temka [501]

Answer:

 the initial height of ball when the player releases it

Step-by-step explanation:

A basketball player shoots a free throw in a game. The quadratic expression models the height of the ball, in feet, where t is the time, in seconds.

y= -16t^2 + 25t+7

Given equation is in the form of

y= -16x^2 + V t + h

Where V  represents the initial velocity and h represents the initial height of the ball

Now we compare our equation with the general equation

We have 7 in the place of h

So , 7 is the initial height of the ball

Answer is 7 is  the initial height of ball when the player releases it
