Answer:

\boxed{\sf \ \ \ a = 1 \  \ \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

saying that x-\sqrt{a} is a factor means that \sqrt{a} is a zero which means

2(\sqrt{a})^4-2a^2(\sqrt{a})^2-3*\sqrt{a}+2a^3-2a^2+3=0\\\\ 2a^2-2a^3-3*\sqrt{a}+2a^3-2a^2+3=0\\\\3-3*\sqrt{a}=0\\\\\sqrt{a}=\dfrac{3}{3}=1\\\\ a = 1

so the solution is a = 1

Do not hesitate if you have any question

Dr. Gonzalez is considering joining the Garden Club. If he pays a $25 membership fee, he
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

In the Garden Club the cost will be a fixed fee of $25 and $10 for each rosebush, so if he buys X rosebushes, the total cost will be:

C1(X) = $25 + $10*X

While in the local nursery there is no initial cost, and each rosebush costs $15, so if he buys X rosebushes, the total cost will be:

C2(X) = $15*X

Now, let's find the value of X where C1 and C2 are equal, this is:

$25 + $10*X = $15*X

$25 = $15*X - $10*X = $5*X

X = 25/5 = 5

This means that if he buys 5 rosebushes, he will pay the same amount in both places.

If he buys less than 5 rosebushes, he will pay less in the local nursery (as it has a bigger slope, but no initial fee)

If he buys more than 5 rosebushes, he will pay less in the Garden club (because it has a smaller slope)
