Yes. When the function f(x) = x3 – 75x + 250 is divided by x + 10, the remainder is zero. Therefore, x + 10 is a factor of f(x) = x3 – 75x + 250.
According to the remainder theorem when f(x) is divided by (x+a) the remainder is f(-a).
In this case,
f(x)=x^3-75x+250
(x+a)=(x+10)
Therefore, the remainder f(-a)=f(-10)
=x^3-75x+250
=(-10)^3-(75*-10)+250
=-1000+750+250
=1000-1000
=0.
The remainder is 0. So, (x+10) is a factor of x^3-75x+250.
The value of f(0) is -1
<h3>What is a function?</h3>
A function can be defined as an expression, law or rule that explains the relationship between two variables; a dependent and an independent variable.
Given the function;
f(x)= -x - 1
To determine f(0), we substitute the value of x as 0 in the function
So, we have;
f(0) = -(0) - 1
f(0) = -0 - 1
f(0) = -1
Thus, the value of f(0) is -1

Answer:
x = ± 
- 3
Explanation:
I'm assuming you want the solutions to that equation, so here goes! (If not, please comment.)
(x-3)(x+9)=27
Let's FOIL this all out and expand. (Remember: First, Outer, Inner, Last.)
x^2 + 9x - 3x - 27
(first+ inner + outer + last)
x^2 + 9x - 3x - 27 = 27
Combine like terms, and add 27 to both sides.
x^2 + 6x - 27 + 27 = 27 + 27
x^2 + 6x = 54
Let's complete the square, because factoring doesn't work, and because it's good practice.
x^2 + 6x + ___ = 54 + ____
In the blank we will put b/2 ^2 = 6/2 ^2 = 3^2 = 9 to complete the square.
x^2 + 6x + 9 = 54 + 9
Now we've got a perfect square factor:
(x + 3)^2 = 63
sqrt(x+3)^2 = 
x + 3 = ±
x = ± - 3
Answer:
a = x and b = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
x^3 - 64 = (x - 4)(x^2 + 4x + 16)
so
a = x and b = 4
