Answer:

\boxed{\textsf{ The value of p is \textbf{-2} and the value of q is \textbf{ -5}.}}

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial is given to us and we need to find the value of the constants in the given equation . The given polynomial to us is :-

\sf\implies f(x)= x^3+px^2+qx + 6

It's mentioned that (x - 1) is a factor of f(x) . This means on putting x = 1 in the given polynomial the value of the polynomial becomes 0 .

<u>Puttting</u><u> </u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>in</u><u> </u><u>f</u><u>(</u><u>x</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

\sf\implies f(x)= x^3+px^2+qx + 6 \\\\\sf\implies f(1) = 1^3 + p(1)^2+q(1) + 6 = 0 \\\\\sf\implies f(1)= 1+p + q + 6 = 0 \\\\\sf\implies \boxed{ \red{\sf p + q = -7 }}

\rule{200}2

Now secondly it's given that on dividing the given polynomial by (x + 1) , the remainder is 8 . This means that on putting x = -1 the value of the given polynomial becomes 8 .

<u>Putt</u><u>ting</u><u> </u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>-</u><u>1</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

\sf\implies f(x)= x^3+px^2+qx + 6 \\\\\sf\implies f(-1) = (-1)^3 + p(-1)^2+q(-1)+6 = 8 \\\\\sf\implies f(-1)= -1+p -q + 6 = 8 \\\\\sf\implies p - q = 8 -6 +1 \\\\\sf\implies  \boxed{ \red{\sf p - q = 3 }}

\rule{200}2

<u>Adding</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>above</u><u> </u><u>two</u><u> </u><u>equations</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

\sf\implies p + q + p - q = -7 + 3 \\\\\sf\implies 2p = -4 \\\\\sf\implies p =\dfrac{-4}{2}\\\\\sf\implies \boxed{\pink{\frak{ p = (-2) }}}

\rule{200}2

<u>Put</u><u> </u><u>this</u><u> </u><u>value</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>p</u><u> </u><u>in</u><u> </u><u>equation</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>i</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>.</u>

\sf\implies p + q = -7 \\\\\sf\implies  -2 + q = -7 \\\\\sf\implies q = -7+2 \\\\\sf\implies \boxed{\pink{\frak{ q = (-5) }}}

Which step has the mistake in solving for roots?
REY [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² - 7x - 3 = 1

Step 1: 2x² - 7x - 4 = 0

Step 2: incorrect.

Use Quadratic Formula to solve for roots.

x = [7 ± √(7² – 4·2(-4))] / [2·2]

 = [7 ± √81] / 4

 = [7 ± 9] /4

 = -0.5, 4

damaskus [11]
68-11=57 (Yesterday's temperature)
That's the expression. ^^ And yesterday's temperature is 57 because, 68 degrees (Today's temperature) minus 11 degrees (how many degrees colder it was yesterday) is equal to 57 degrees (Yesterday's Temperature).

In the rectangle below, SU= 4x-2, RT = 5x-10, and m ZSVT= 84º.
stepladder [879]

Answer:

RV = 15, ∠ VUR = 48°

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a rectangle are congruent , so

RT = SU , that is

5x - 10 = 4x - 2 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

x - 10 = - 2 ( add 10 to both sides )

x = 8

Then

RT = 5x - 10 = 5(8) - 10 = 40 - 10 = 30

The diagonals bisect each other , then

RV = 0.5 × 30 = 15

---------------------------------------------------------------

∠ RVU = ∠ svt = 84° ( vertical angles )

RV = UV ( diagonals are congruent and bisect each other )

Then Δ RVU is isosceles with base angles congruent , then

∠ VUR = \frac{180-84}{2} = \frac{96}{2} = 48°
