Question:</h2>
Find k if (x+1) is a factor of 2x³ + kx² + 1
<h2>
Answer:</h2>
k = 1
<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
The factor of a polynomial F(x) is another polynomial that divides evenly into F(x). For example, x + 3 is a factor of the polynomial x² - 9.
<em>This is because;</em>
i. x² - 9 can be written as (x - 3)(x + 3) which shows that both (x - 3) and (x + 3) are factors.
ii. If x = -3 is substituted into the polynomial x² - 9, the result gives zero. i.e
=> (-3)² - 9
=> (9) - 9 = 0
Therefore, if (x + a) is a factor of a polynomial, substituting x = -a into the polynomial should result to zero. This also means that, if x - a is a factor of a polynomial, substituting x = a into the polynomial should give zero.
<em><u>From the question</u></em>
Given polynomial: 2x³ + kx² + 1
Given factor: x + 1.
Since x + 1 is a factor of the polynomial, substituting x = -1 into the polynomial should give zero and from there we can calculate the value of k. i.e
2(-1)³ + k(-1)² + 1 = 0
2(-1) + k(1) + 1 = 0
-2 + k + 1 = 0
k - 1 = 0
k = 1
Therefore the value of k is 1.
Answer:
1: 11√3 - 7√6
2: 11√3 - 7√6
3: -9
4:12
Step-by-step explanation:
To add radicals they need to have the same radical part for the first one we have
7√3- 4√6 + √48 - √54
We can simplify the last two into 4√3 and 3√6
So we have 7√3 - 4√6 + 4√3 - 3√6
adding similar radicals we get
11√3 - 7√6
For the second one we have 11√3 - 7√6
There's nothing we can do from here so keep that as your answer
This one is quite easy -3√9
square root of 9 is 3
so we have -3*3 which is -9
next is
4√9
same deal as the one before
3*4=12
Answer:
7y
Step-by-step explanation:
use distributive property:
4x+12y=6x-2y
2x=14y
x=7y
Answer:
the second one for #4 and the third one for #5
Step-by-step explanation:
4. The sum of x and y is 24, so x+y = 24. The difference is 15, so x-y = 15, or
y-x=15 (they didn't specify which was which). Therefore, A, C, and D are correct, so x = 15-y is the answer (x = 15-y is the same as x+y = 15, which is false).
5.
Matt = 6 apple pies + 4 lemon pies and he got 80 dollars.
Ming = 6 apple pies + 5 lemon pies and he got 94 dollars.
If apple pie is "a" and lemon is "l":
6a + 4l = 80
6a + 5l = 94,
so C is the answer
