Answer:

a = -86.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Factor Theorem, if x + 4 is a factor then P(-4) = 0, so:

P(-4) = 2(-4)^3 - 11(-4)^2 + a(-4)- 40 = 0

-128 - 176 - 4a - 40 = 0

-4a = 128 +176 + 40

-4a = 344

a = -86.

Which expression can be used to find the surface area of the following square pyramid?
telo118 [61]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slant height of one side of this pyramid is 5, and the base of this side is 4.  Thus, the area of one slant side is (1/2)(5)(4) = 10 units^2.

There are 4 such sides.  Thus, the total slant surface area is 4(10 units^2), or 40 units^2.  

If you also want to include the base area, the total would be

40 units^2 + 16 units^2 = 56 units^2.

5x-6=10-3x solve for x
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by combining like terms.

Collecting x terms onto the left side results in 8x;

collecting constants onto the right side results in 16.  

Therefore, 8x = 16, and x = 2
