Answer:

factor out 5^19

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Reason from parity:

both 5^20 and 5^19 are products with only odd numbers (5) as factors. Hence each is an odd number. The difference of odd numbers is always even.

b) Factor:

5^20 -5^19 = 5^19(5 -1) = 5^19×4

This product has an even factor (4), so is even.

If (x+2) is a factor of x^3-6x^2+kx+10, k=

Alja [10]

If a binomial $(x-a)$ is a factor of a polynomial, then $a$ is a root of this polynomial.

$(x+2)=(x-(-2)) \Rightarrow a=-2\\\\
(-2)^3-6\cdot(-2)^2+k\cdot(-2)+10=0\\
-8-24-2k+10=0\\
-2k=22\\\
\boxed{k=-11}
