Answer:

k = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that (x + 1) is a factor of f(x) then f(- 1) = 0

f(- 1) = 3(- 1)³ + 2(- 1) + k

= 3(- 1) - 2 + k

= - 3 - 2 + k

= - 5 + k

Then - 5 + k = 0 ( add 5 to both sides )

k = 5

If f and g are continuous functions with f(0) = 2 and the following limit, find g(0). lim_(x->0)[2 f(x) - g(x)] = -3

ladessa [460]

We have by distributivity of limits over sums, and continuity of $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ , that

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to0} \bigg(2f(x) - g(x)\bigg) = 2 \lim_{x\to0} f(x) - \lim_{x\to0} g(x) = 2 f(0) - g(0)$

Given $f(0)=2$ , it follows that

$2^2 - g(0) = -3 \implies g(0) = \boxed{7}$

Fittoniya [83]

We are given a function of the bouncing of the ball expressed as f(n) = 9(0.7)n in which n is an integer as the number of times the ball has dropped. 9 represents the initial height of the ball and 0.7 is the percent of which the height is reserved

Enter the value of P so that the expression 4(10+n) is equivalent to 4(n+p)

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

I think it is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Only because I believe n is still unknown and 4 must be multiplied

example

4(10 + n)

40 + 4n

now if P = 10

4(n + p)

4(n + 10)

4n + 40
