<h2>Question:</h2>

Find k if (x+1) is a factor of 2x³ + kx² + 1

<h2>Answer:</h2>

k = 1

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The factor of a polynomial F(x) is another polynomial that divides evenly into F(x). For example, x + 3 is a factor of the polynomial x² - 9.

<em>This is because;</em>

i. x² - 9 can be written as (x - 3)(x + 3) which shows that both (x - 3) and (x + 3) are factors.

ii. If x = -3 is substituted into the polynomial x² - 9, the result gives zero. i.e

=> (-3)² - 9

=> (9) - 9 = 0

Therefore, if (x + a) is a factor of a polynomial, substituting x = -a into the polynomial should result to zero. This also means that, if x - a is a factor of a polynomial, substituting x = a into the polynomial should give zero.

<em><u>From the question</u></em>

Given polynomial: 2x³ + kx² + 1

Given factor: x + 1.

Since x + 1 is a factor of the polynomial, substituting x = -1 into the polynomial should give zero and from there we can calculate the value of k. i.e

2(-1)³ + k(-1)² + 1 = 0

2(-1) + k(1) + 1 = 0

-2 + k + 1 = 0

k - 1 = 0

k = 1

Therefore the value of k is 1.

Write an equation in slope intercept form for the line that passes through (-20,-6) with slope m=1/4
brilliants [131]
We start with the equation y-y1 =m (x-x1) because we have m the slope = 1/4 and a point on the line with the coordinates (x1=-20, y1=-6) so, 
 
y+6=1/4 ( x+20); 
y=(1/4)x + 20/4 -6; 

y= (1/4)x -1 and this is the equation in slope intercept form y=mx +b  where the lope m= 1/4 and b= -1 the y-intercept

Answer <span>y= (1/4)x -1 </span>

Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses -5(2x-3w-6)
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

15w - 10x + 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(2x - 3w - 6)

= (-5 * 2x) + (-5 * -3w) + (-5 * -6)

= -10x + 15w + 30

= 15w - 10x + 30.

Hope this helps!

What is interest earned on 3500 invested at 6% compounded quarterly or 12 years
enyata [817]
\bf \qquad \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount}&#10;\\\\&#10;A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}&#10;\quad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\&#10;P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to &\$3500\\&#10;r=rate\to 6\%\to \frac{6}{100}\to &0.06\\&#10;n=&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;\textit{times it compounds per year}\\&#10;\textit{quarterly, thus four}&#10;\end{array}\to &4\\&#10;t=years\to &12&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;A=3500\left(1+\frac{0.06}{4}\right)^{4\cdot 12}\implies A=3500(1.015)^{48}

so, the interest earned then will be  A - 3500.
