Answer:

The values of k will be:

k=-1,\:k=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the expression of polynomial P be

P\left(x\right)=3x^2-4kx-4k^2

Let the expression if the polynomial Q be

\:Q\left(x\right)=\:\left(x+2\right)\:

Plug in Q(x) = 0

0 = x+2

x = -2

As (x+2) is a factor of 3x²-4kx-4k²

substitute x = -2 in the the polynomial

3x²-4kx-4k² = 0

3\left(-2\right)^2-4k\left(-2\right)-4k^2\:=0

12+8k-4k^2=0

Write in the standard form ax²+bx+c = 0

-4k^2+8k+12=0

Factor out common term -4

-4\left(k^2-2k-3\right)=0

Factor k²-2k-3: (k+1)(k-3)

-4\left(k+1\right)\left(k-3\right)=0

Using the zero factor principle

if ab=0, then a=0 or b=0 (or both a=0 and b=0)

k+1=0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:k-3=0

solving k+1=0

k+1 = 0

k = -1

solving k-3=0

k-3=0

k = 3

Thus, the values of k will be:

k=-1,\:k=3

What is the value of x in <br> 150-35x=45
Annette [7]
Your answer is x = 3 because if you take 150 and subtract it by both sides: 
 150 - 35x = 45
-150           -150

you have to cross out both 150 and -150, take 45 and subtract 150 which will give you -105. 
  -35x = -105 

take -35 and divide by both sides. Cross out the two -35's. Take -105/-35 which your answer is x = 3. Hopes this helps. :)

What is the value of m in the ecuation 1/2m -3/4n = 16, when n =8 ?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer: m=44

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2m-3/4n = 16

1/2m-3/4(8) = 16

1/2m-24/4 = 16

1/2m-6 = 16

1/2m = 22

m=44
