Answer:
d
Step-by-step explanation:
Try using simple numbers like 1 as x and then try with the different functions until it works
Answer:
a = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor both expressions
x² - x - 6
Consider the factors of the constant term (- 6) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 1)
The factors are - 3 and + 2 , since
- 3 × 2 = - 6 and - 3 + 2 = - 1 , thus
x² - x - 6 = (x - 3)(x + 2)
-----------------------------------
x² + 3x - 18
consider factors of constant term (- 18) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 3)
The factors are + 6 and - 3 , since
6 × - 3 = - 18 and 6 - 3 = + 3 , thus
x² + 3x - 18 = (x + 6)(x - 3)
Both expressions have a common factor of (x - 3)
Compare with (x - a ), then a = 3
If it has rational coefients and is a polygon
if a+bi is a root then a-bi is also a root
the roots are -4 and 2+i
so then 2-i must also be a root
if the rots of a poly are r1 and r2 then the factors are
f(x)=(x-r1)(x-r2)
roots are -4 and 2+i and 2-i
f(x)=(x-(-4))(x-(2+i))(x-(2-i))
f(x)=(x+4)(x-2-i)(x-2+i)
expand
f(x)=x³-11x+20
The remaining 2 debts have to add up to a cetain number which I represent as x.
476.25 - 93.22 - x = 0
x = 383.03
The correct two debts should add up to -383.03.
Therefore the answer is B. -66.72 and -316.31
