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.

X/-4 + 14&gt;20<br><br> someone help a girl out
MrRa [10]

Answer:

x < -20

Step-by-step explanation:

x / -4  + 14 >20

Subtract 14 from each side

x / -4 +14-14 > 20 -14

x / -4 > 6

Multiply each side by -4, remembering to flip the inequality

x / -4 * -4 < 6 * -4

x < -20

Which statements are true about the graph of the function f(x) = 6x – 4 + x2?
kaheart [24]
Write the function as
f(x) = x² + 6x - 4

Note that
x² + 6x = (x + 3)² - 9

Therefore
f(x) = (x  3)² - 9 - 4
      = (x + 3)² - 13

The vertex is at (-3, -13)., and the curve opens upward.
The axis of symmetry is x = -3.

Answer:
The vertex of the function is (-3, 13).
The graph increases over the interval (-3, -∞)

What is the area of a sector when r = 2 and 0 = 1.75 radians? [?] sq units Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Enter​
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a sector in terms of radians as opposed to degrees is

A=\frac{\theta}{2\pi }*\pi r^2

Filling in the formula accordingly gives us

A=\frac{1.75rad}{2\pi rad}*\pi (2)^2

The radians cancel out, the pi's cancel out, the 2 in the denominator cancels out (divides into 2-squared once), leaving us with

A = 1.75(2) so

A = 3.5 units squared
