If x + 1 divides f(x), this means x = -1 is a root of f(x), i.e. f(-1) = 0. Plugging in x = -1 gives

f(-1) = 2 (-1)³ + k (-1) - 1 = -3 - k = 0

Solve for k; you end up with k = -3.

Write the equation of the line that passes through (-4, 8) and is parallel to the line that passes through (2, 1) and (-2, -1).

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(2,1), (-2,-1)

slope(m) = (-1-1) / (-2 - 2) = -2/-4 = 1/2

parallel lines will have the same slope

y = mx + b

slope(m) = 1/2

(-4,8)...x = -4 and y = 8

now sub and find b, the y int

8 = 1/2(-4) + b

8 = -2 + b

8 + 2 = b

10 = b

so ur equation is : y = 1/2x + 10 <==

A stool of ribbon holds 6.75 meters.A craft club buys 21 stools. What is the total cost if the ribbon sells for $2 per meter.

OLEGan [10]

283.5

So you multiply 6.75 by 21 stools to find the total number of meters. Then you multiply that by 2.

Answer:

$0.225 \Omega =225 m\Omega$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know (Ohm second law) that $R= \frac{k}{d^2}$ where k inlcudes the rest of the parameters (material, lenght). In our situation we have k= $0.4\cdot9 \Omega mm^2$ . The moment the diameter becomes 8mm R becomes

$R= {{0.4\cdot 9}\over{16}} \Omega = 0.225 \Omega$
