Answer:
a = 4 and b = - 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Expand the left side and compare like terms on both sides, that is
(x + 2)(x - 3)(x + 5) ← expand the first pair of factors using FOIL
= (x² - x - 6)(x + 5) ← distribute
= x³ + 5x² - x² - 5x - 6x - 30 ← collect like terms
= x³ + 4x² - 11x - 30
Compare like terms with x³ +ax² - 11x + b
4x² and ax² ⇒ a = 4
+ b and - 30 ⇒ b = - 30
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum the product of the components in the first row of A with the corresponding components of the first column in B
Repeat this with the components in the second row of A with the corresponding components of the second column in B, that is
AB

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The first time:</u>
- 16 m up and 16 m down = 32 m
The second time and each time after, half of the previous distance
<u>This is a GP with the first 6 terms:</u>
<u>Sum of the distances:</u>
- 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 63 m
Answer:
8.4 is the correct answer :)))))))))
