Given:

The function is

f(x)=2x^3+ax^2-37x-60

The binomial x-4 is a factor of f(x).

To find:

The value of a.

Solution:

If x-c is a factor of f(x), then f(c)=0.

It is given that, x-4 is a factor of f(x), then f(4)=0.

We have,

f(x)=2x^3+ax^2-37x-60

Substituting x=4, we get

f(4)=2(4)^3+a(4)^2-37(4)-60

f(4)=2(64)+a(16)-148-60

f(4)=128+16a-208

f(4)=16a-80

Now,

f(4)=0

16a-80=0

16a=80

a=\dfrac{80}{16}

a=5

Therefore, the value of a is 5.

Answer:

<u>Given:</u>

  • g(t) = 5t² − 8t + 3

Find the following

<u>g(2)</u>

  • g(2) = 5(2²) - 8(2) + 3 = 20 - 16 + 3 = 7

<u>g(t - 2) </u>

  • g(t - 2) = 5(t - 2)² - 8(t - 2) + 3 = 5t² - 20t + 20 - 8t + 16 + 3 = 5t² - 28t + 39

<u>g(t) - g(2)</u>

  • g(t) - g(2) = 5t² − 8t + 3 - 7 = 5t² − 8t - 4

Answer:

77% and as a fraction it would be 77/100

Step-by-step explanation:

0.77 is a decimal that is in the hundredths place so you already know that it'll be 77% right away then for the fraction you would just put it over 100 but since 77 is an uneven number you cannot simplify it otherwise you would.
