Find a and b using the factor theorem.
[tex]f(x)=x^3+ax^2+bx-12[/tex] has factor [tex](x-1), (x+1)[/tex]

Answers

Answer 1

The values of a and b using the factor theorem for the polynomial f(x), we set f(1) and f(-1) equal to zero. Solving the resulting system of equations, we find that a = 12 and b = -1.

To find the values of a and b using the factor theorem, we need to use the given factors (x - 1) and (x + 1) and the fact that they are roots of the polynomial f(x).
The factor theorem states that if (x - c) is a factor of a polynomial, then f(c) = 0. Therefore, we can set x = 1 and x = -1 in the polynomial f(x) to get two equations.
First, let's substitute x = 1 into f(x):
f(1) = (1)^3 + a(1)^2 + b(1) - 12
f(1) = 1 + a + b - 12
Next, let's substitute x = -1 into f(x):
f(-1) = (-1)^3 + a(-1)^2 + b(-1) - 12
f(-1) = -1 + a - b - 12
Since (x - 1) and (x + 1) are factors, f(1) and f(-1) must equal zero. Therefore, we can set the two equations equal to zero and solve for a and b:
1 + a + b - 12 = 0
-1 + a - b - 12 = 0
Rearraning the equations, we have:
a + b = 11
a - b = 13
Now, we can solve this system of equations. Adding the two equations, we get:
2a = 24
a = 12
Substituting the value of a into one of the equations, we find:
12 - b = 13
b = -1
Therefore, the values of a and b are 12 and -1 respectively.

:

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction

2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  2  as the denominator :

          72     72 • 2

    72 =  ——  =  ——————

          1        2  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

72 • 2 - (9h)     144 - 9h

—————————————  =  ————————

      2              2

:

Pulling out like terms

3.1     Pull out like factors :

:

When a fraction equals zero

4.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 -9•(h-16)

 ————————— • 2 = 0 • 2

     2    

Now, on the left hand side, the  2  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  -9  •  (h-16)  = 0

Equations which are never true:

4.2      Solve :    -9   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

4.3      Solve  :    h-16 = 0

Add  16  to both sides of the equation :

                     h = 16

sorry I cannot give the answer through typing but you have to make h the subject, so divide by (4+5), divide by 1/2 and that should be h=31.5

If $11000 yields $1100 over 5 years, what is the interest rate?

Answers

Answer:

1.92449%

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple Interest Rate Formula: A = P(1 + r)ⁿ

Step 1: Define variables

Principle amount P = 11000

Total amount A = 11000 + 1100 = 12100

Years n = 5

Step 2: Substitute and Evaluate for r

12100 = 11000(1 + r)⁵

11/10 = (1 + r)⁵

1.01924 = 1 + r

r = 0.019245

The mean distance of the earth from the sun (let's call it d) is 93 million miles. The distance varies as much as 1.6 million miles. Write the equation that describes the possible distances of the earth from the sun, using as distance unit millions of miles.

Answers

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean distance of earth from the sun = 93 million miles

Let mean distance of earth from the sun = d

The variation on the distance is as much as 1. 6 million miles

Possible distances of the earth from the sun can be modeled using :

|d - 93| = ± 1.6

Where d = distance from earth to the sun

d = - 1.6 million + 93 million

d = 91.4 million

d = 1.6 million + 93 million

d = 94.6 million

Hence, possible distance from earth to the sun :

91.4 < d < 94.6

Answer:

2(x² + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor 2x² + 10, we can first factor out the greatest common factor of the terms, which is 2:

2x² + 10 = 2(x² + 5)

We can't factor anymore, so the answer is:

2(x² + 5)

Answer:

2(x² + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factorise this, do the distributive property backwards. In other words:

2x² + 10

2x² ÷ 2 + 10 ÷ 2

x² + 5

2(x² + 5)

∴ 2(x² + 5) is the answer

Answers

Answer:

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

A and B will take the same 10-question examination. Each question will be answered correctly by A with probability .7, independently of her results on other questions. Each question will be answered correctly by B with probability .4, independently both of her results on the other questions and on the performance of A. (a) Find the expected number of questions that are answered correctly by both A and B. (b) Find the variance of the number of questions that are answered correctly by either A or B.

Answers

(a) The expected number of questions answered correctly by both A and B is 28.

(b) The variance of the number of questions answered correctly by either A or B is 4.5.

Let's define the following variables:

X = Number of questions answered correctly by A

Y = Number of questions answered correctly by B

(a) Expected number of questions answered correctly by both A and B:

We can use the formula for the expected value of the product of two independent random variables:

E(X × Y) = E(X) × E(Y)

The probability of A answering a question correctly is 0.7, and the probability of B answering a question correctly is 0.4.

Since the questions are independent, we can calculate the expected values for X and Y:

E(X) = 10 (number of questions) × 0.7 (probability of A answering correctly) = 7

E(Y) = 10 (number of questions) × 0.4 (probability of B answering correctly) = 4

Now, the expected number of questions answered correctly by both A and B is:

E(X× Y) = E(X) × E(Y)

= 7×4

= 28

(b) Variance of the number of questions answered correctly by either A or B:

Variance is calculated differently for independent events. Since A and B's performances are independent, we can use the following formula:

Var(X + Y) = Var(X) + Var(Y)

The variance of a binomial distribution with n trials and probability p of success is given by np(1-p).

For A and B:

Var(X) = 10× 0.7 × (1 - 0.7)

= 2.1

Var(Y) = 10 × 0.4× (1 - 0.4)

= 2.4

Now, the variance of the number of questions answered correctly by either A or B is:

Var(X + Y) = Var(X) + Var(Y)

= 2.1 + 2.4

= 4.5
