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.
Let x represent the smaller angle. Then the larger one is 20+4x. Since they are complementary, their sum is 90. (All measures are degrees.)
90 = x + (20+4x)
90 = 5x +20
70 = 5x
14 = x
The smaller angle is 14°.
The larger angle is 76°.
