P(1) = P(-1)
P(1) = 3 - a + b
P(-1) = -3 + a + b
-> 3 - a + b = -3 + a + b
-> 3 - a + b + 3 - a - b = 0
-> 6 - 2a = 0
-> a = 3.
P(2) = 24 - 2a + b -> 24 - (2a - b) = 16 -> 2a - b = 8
-> 6 - b = 8
b = -2.
So, a = 3 and b = -2
Recheck : P(1) = 3 - 3 + (-2) = -2
P(-1) = -3 + 3 + (-2) = -2 => P(1) = P(-1) (true)
P(2) = 24 - 6 + (-2) = 16.
The gcf of the numbers are 15
Answer:
a) The correct option is C: 4x
b) The correct option is B: 2x
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Usually when we have a real number multiplying a variable, we do not need to write the multiplication symbol.
So instead of writing:
4×x
We can write:
4x
And this will be equivalent.
Then in this case the correct option is C.
b) We know that if we have the multiplication of A by n, this will be equivalent to add A n times.
Then if we have the sum of A, for example, 4 times, we have:
A + A + A + A
And this can be written as 4*A
In this case, we have the expression x + x.
So we are adding x two times, then this can be written as: 2*x, or, as we said earlier, this also can be written as 2x.
Then the correct option is option B.
