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

FIRST ONE TO ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST!!!!

Answer:

The maximum distance traveled is 4.73 meters in 0.23 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the distance traveled with respect to time is given by the function,

d(t) = 4.9t^2-2.3t+5.

Now, differentiating this function with respect to time 't', we get,

d'(t)=9.8t-2.3

Equating d'(t) by 0 gives,

9.8t - 2.3 = 0

i.e. 9.8t = 2.3

i.e. t = 0.23 seconds

Substitute this value in d'(t) gives,

d'(t) = 9.8 × 0.23 - 2.3

d'(t) = 2.254 - 2.3

d'(t) = -0.046.

As, d'(t) < 0, we get that the function has the maximum value at t = 0.23 seconds.

Thus, the maximum distance the skateboard can travel is given by,

d(t) = 4.9\times 0.23^2-2.3\times 0.23+5.

i.e. d(t) = 4.9\times 0.0529-2.3\times 0.23+5.

i.e. d(t) = 0.25921-0.529+5.

i.e. d(t) = 0.25921-0.529+5.

i.e. d(t) = 4.73021

Hence, the maximum distance traveled is 4.73 meters in 0.23 seconds.

Need help with this question
Lilit [14]

Answer: 30

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem, we're going to have to use the Pythagorean theorem...

a² + b² = c²

24² + 18² = c²

576 + 324 = c²

c² = 900

\sqrt{900}

30

30 = c

I hope this helps!
