Answer:
a = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the factor theorem, if x + 2 is a factor, then by dividing the polynomial by the binomial, we are meant not to have a remainder
In this case, the remainder would be zero
So, if we set the binomial equals zero and substitute the x-value into the polynomial, we are supposed to have 0
So we have this as;
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
-2^3 -2(-2)^2 -2(a) + 6 = 0
-8-8-2a + 6 = 0
-16 + 2a + 6 = 0
2a -10 = 0
2a = 10
a = 10/2
a = 5
Answer:
No... i'm sorry
Step-by-step explanation:
5x-3=21-x
6x=24
X=4
You simply have to isolate the variable and then divide by 6 so that x is completely alone.
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
First, convert all the secants and cosecants to cosine and sine, respectively. Recall that 
and 
.
Thus:
Let's do the first part first: (Recall how to divide fractions)
For the second term:
So, all together: (same denominator; combine terms)
Note the numerator; it can be derived from the Pythagorean Identity:
Thus, we can substitute the numerator:
Everything simplifies to 1.
