Answer:

Since (x−2) is a factor of the polynomial 3x  

3

−2x  

2

+kx−6=0, we have

p(2)=0

i.e. 3(2)  

3

−2(2)  

2

+k(2)−6=0$

i.e. 24−8+2k−6=0

i.e. 2k=−10

i.e. k=−5.

Answer:

(y + 14)(y - 14)

Step-by-step explanation:

A difference of squares has the general form

a³ - b² and factors as

(a + b)(a - b)

Given

y² - 196

y² = (y)² ⇒ a = y and 196 = 14² ⇒ b = 14

y² - 196

= y² - 14² = (y + 14)(y - 14) ← difference of squares

The path of a football can be modelled by the equation, h=-10d2+120d , where h represents the height, in metres, of the football
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

12 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The path of a football has been modeled by the equation:

h= -10d^2+120d

where h represents the height and d represents the horizontal distance.

When the ball lands, it means that its height is back at 0 metres. This means that we have to find horizontal distance, d, when height, h, is 0.

=> 0= -10d^2+120d

=> 10d^2 - 120d = 0

d(10d - 120) = 0

∴ d = 0 m

and

10d - 120 = 0

=> d = 120 / 10 = 12 m

There are two solutions for d when h = 0 m.

The first solution (d = 0 m) is a case where the ball has not been thrown at all. This means the ball has not moved away from the football player and it is still on the ground.

The second solution is the answer to our problem (d = 12 m). The ball lands at a horizontal distance of 12 m

What do we know about these angles? Immediately, you might notice that (4y-8)° and (16x-4)° share a line. The same is true of (16x-4)° and (14x+4)°. Any straight line forms what's called a <em>straight angle</em>, which measures 180°, so we know that, since they add up to form a straight angle, (14x+4)° and (16x-4)° must add up to 180°. We can use that fact to set up an equation to solve for x:

(14x+4)+(16x-4)=180

After you solve for x, you should look to solve for y. How can we figure out what y is? If you're familiar with the vertical angle theorem, you'll know that all vertical angles (angles that are directly across from each other diagonally) are equal. So we know that 14x+4=4y-8. You can use the value of x you solved for before to solve this one fairly easily, and then you'll have both values.
