Answer:

x + 6 is not a factor of f ( x ) = x³ - 3x² + 2x - 8 because when -6 is substituted into the function, the answer is not 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

→ Substitute x = -6 into f ( x )

( 6 )³ - 3 × ( 6 )² + ( 2 × 6) - 8

→ Simplify

216 - 108 + 12 - 8

→ Simplify further

What is the order of the steps to solve for x in the equation 3x-6x-7=29
dexar [7]
First, you should combine the x terms:

-3x - 7 = 29

Then, get rid of the negative 7, by adding 7 to both sides.

-3x = 22

Finally divide 22 by -3, to solve for x.

x = -22/3 or -7.33

The mathematics department of a college has 6 male professors, 9 female professors, 5 male teaching assistants, and 6 female tea
Hitman42 [59]

Given:

6 male professores

9 female professores

5 male teaching assistants

6 female teaching assistants

Sol:.

N(A\text{ or B)=N(A)+N(B)-N(A and B)}

N (professors)

\begin{gathered} =6+9 \\ =15 \end{gathered}

N(Male)

\begin{gathered} =6+5 \\ =11 \end{gathered}

N(professors and male)

=6

N(professors OR male) = N(professors) + N(males) -N(professor OR male)

\begin{gathered} N(\text{ Professors OR male)=15+11-6} \\ =20 \end{gathered}

N(People to choose from)

\begin{gathered} =6+9+5+6 \\ =26 \end{gathered}

Then probablitiy is:

\begin{gathered} =\frac{20}{26} \\ =\frac{10}{13} \end{gathered}

Then the probability is 10/13

If f (x) = 3x + 1 and g(x) = 2x + 1, what is the value of f (g(2))?
just olya [345]

Step-by-step explanation:

= f( g(2) )

= 3(2x + 1) + 1

= 6x + 3 + 1

= 6x + 4

= 6(2) + 4

= 12 + 4

= 16

f(g(2)) = 16

so we have a small issue. I dont know how to figure this out and I dont know what equivalent means :/ so if you can help me that
Mars2501 [29]

Equivalent means "equal to"

Because we are looking for an equation that is not equivalent to 3y + x = 18, we need to find one that is not equal to 3y + x = 18.

First, lets try y = 6 - 1/3x

3y + x = 18

Divide the whole of both sides by 3

y + 1/3x = 6

Then, subtract 1/3x from each side

y = 6 - 1/3x

So, y = 6 - 1/3x IS equivalent to 3y + x = 18, so it is not the answer.

Next, lets try y - 5 = -1/3 (x - 3)

First, we need to distribute the -1/3 in the right side.

y - 5 = -1/3x + 1

Add 5 to each side

y = -1/3x + 6

Add 1/3x to each side

y + 1/3x = 6

So, y + 1/3x = 6 is NOT equivalent to 3y + x = 18, so it IS an answer.

Lets try the third one: y - 5 = 1/3(x + 3)

We need to use distributive property again on the right side

y - 5 = 1/3x + 1

Add 5 to each side

y = 1/3x + 6 is not equivalent to 3y + x = 18 so it IS and answer

Lets test the last one: 6y + 2x = 36

Divide the whole of each side by 2

3y + x = 18 IS equivalent to 3y + x = 18 so it is NOT an answer
