I ain't Joseph but what's wrong?
Answer:
a = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
given x = - 1 is a zero then f(- 1) = 0 , that is
a(- 1)³ - (- 1)² - 1 + 4 = 0
- a - 1 - 1 + 4 = 0
- a + 2 = 0 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
- a = - 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
a = 2
Answer:
y = 3/2*x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets say that P1=(6,4) and P2=(4,1) and that the form of the equation must be y=m*x+b where m is the slope and b the independent variable. Then having two given points we can use the slope formula to find the slope value as:
P1=(x1,y1) and P2=(x2,y2)
slope formula ---> m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Replacing the given points ---> m=(1-4)/(4-6) = 3/2
then replacing the slope value obtained:
y = 3/2*x + b
Now lets find the value of b. For this we have to replace in the equation a point it can be P1 or P2, i will replace P2:
1 = 3/2*4 + b
1 = 6 + b
1 - 6 = b
-5 = b
therefore the line equation is:
y = 3/2*x - 5
110 minus 52 is 58 so the answer would be 58 more pitches
