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.

Fun park charges an entry fee of $2 for any family with less than 5 members. The park charges $3 less than the number of family
RideAnS [48]

A piecewise function is a function that behaves differently in different intervals.

Here the piecewise function is:

f(x) = $2     if    x < 5  

f(x) = x - $3  if   x ≥ 5

We know that:

"Fun park charges an entry fee of $2 for any family with less than 5 members."

"The park charges $3 less than the number of family members for the entry of any family with 5 or more members."

If we define x as the number of members of a family, the function of the price will be:

f(x) = $2     if    x < 5 (the cost is $2 if the family has less than members)

f(x) = x - $3  if   x ≥ 5   (the cost if the family has 5 members or more)
