Answer:
a) Diego squared 2, Andre squared -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there,
There are 16 members in a math club such as 2 girls and 14 boys in a math club.
The ratio would be:
1:7
Divide both terms by 2.
2 ÷ 2 = 1
14 ÷ 2 = 7
Therefore:
2 : 14 = 1 : 7
Both problems give you a function in the second column and the x-values. To find out the values of a through f, you need to plug in those x-values into the function and simplify!
You need to know three exponent rules to simplify these expressions:
1)
The
negative exponent rule says that when a
base has a negative exponent, flip the base onto the other side of the
fraction to make it into a positive exponent. For example,

.
2)
Raising a fraction to a power is the same as separately raising the numerator and denominator to that power. For example,

.
3) The
zero exponent rule<span> says that any number
raised to zero is 1. For example,

.
</span>
Back to the Problem:
Problem 1
The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is

. The x-values are:
<span>
1) x = 0</span>Plug this into

to find letter a:

<span>
2) x = 2</span>Plug this into

to find letter b:

<span>
3) x = 4</span>Plug this into

to find letter c:

<span>
Problem 2
</span>The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is

. The x-values are:
<span>
1) x = 0</span>Plug this into

to find letter d:

<span>
2) x = 2

Answer:
2.44
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: x³ + 2x² - 5ax - 7 and x³ + ax² - 12x + 6
Also, R1 + R2 = 6
in order to find the value of a:
Let p(x) = x³ + 2x² - 5ax - 7 and q(x) = x³ + ax² - 12x + 6
Using remainder theorem i.e if a polynomial p(x) is divisible by polynomial of form x - a then remainder is given by p(a).
Then,
R1 = p( -1 ) = (-1)³ + 2(-1)² - 5a(-1) - 7 = -1 + 2 + 5a - 7 = 5a - 6
R2 = q( 2 ) = 2³ + a(2)² - 12(2) + 6 = 8 + 4a - 24 + 6 = 4a - 10
Now,
R1 + R2 = 6
5a - 6 + 4a - 10 = 6
9a = 22
a=2.44
Therefore, Value of a is 2.44
