Find the value of k if x-1 is the factor of x ^ 2 + x + k​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ne4ueva [31]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

k = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall from the Factor Theorem that if (<em>x</em> - <em>a</em>) is a factor of a polynomial <em>P</em>, then P(<em>a</em>) must equal 0.

Our polynomial is:

\displaystyle P(x) = x^2 + x + k

And we know that (<em>x</em> - 1) is a factor.

Therefore, by the Factor Theorem, P(1) must equal 0. Hence solve for <em>k: </em>

<em />\displaystyle \begin{aligned} P(1) = 0 & = (1)^2 + (1) + k \\ \\ 0 & = 2 + k \\ \\ k & = -2\end{aligned}

In conclusion, the value of <em>k</em> is -2.

A wooden block measures 2 inches by 2 inches by 3 inches. A wedge is cut off from each corner of the block by slicing at points
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Number of edges in the resulting solid = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

A wooden block measures 2 inches by 2 inches by 3 inches. A wedge is cut off from each corner of the block by slicing at points that are 1 inch from each corner.

We are supposed to find the number of edges that are in the resulting solid.

In some corners , if we take out inch from both, then there would be nothing remaining.

The two faces along the height would be removed and it will become sharpened.

So the number of edges = 4 + 4 + 4 = 12
