Most thunderstorms form by a cycle that has three stages: the cumulus stage, mature stage, and dissipating stage. The sun heats the Earth's surface during the day. The heat on the surface and warms the air around it. Since warm air is lighter than cool air, it starts to rise (known as an updraft)

What it means that [If x is a factor of p(x), what is the value of k?]

kompoz [17]

Answer:

$k = -4$

Explanation:

Given

$P(x) = (3x^2 - 5)(x + k) - 20$

x is a factor

Required

Solve for k

x is a factor means that the polynomial can be divided successfully by x.

In other words, x is a zero of the polynomial.

i.e.

$x = 0$ and $P(x) = 0$

Substitute 0 for x in P(x)

$P(x) = (3x^2 - 5)(x + k) - 20$

$P(x) = (3*0^2 - 5)(0 + k) - 20$

$P(x) = (0- 5)(k) - 20$

$P(x) = (-5)(k) - 20$

$P(x) = -5k - 20$

Substitute 0 for P(x)

$0 = -5k - 20$

Collect Like Terms

$5k = - 20$

Divide both sides by 5

$k = -4$
