If x3 + ax2 – bx + 10 is divisible by x2 – 3x + 2,
find the values of
1) a-b
2) 2a-b

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: A=2 and B=13
Explanation: The Factor Theorem states that if a is the root of any polynomial p(x) that is if p(a)=0, then (x−a) is the factor of the polynomial p(x).

Let p(x)=x
3
+ax
2
−bx+10 and g(x)=x
2
−3x+2
Factorise g(x)=x
2
−3x+2:
x
2
−3x+2=x
2
−2x−x+2=x(x−2)−1(x−2)=(x−2)(x−1)
Therefore, g(x)=(x−2)(x−1)
It is given that p(x) is divisible by g(x), therefore, by factor theorem p(2)=0 and p(1)=0. Let us first find p(2) and p(1) as follows:
p(1)=1
3
+(a×1
2
)−(b×1)+10=1+(a×1)−b+10=a−b+11
p(2)=2
3
+(a×2
2
)−(b×2)+10=8+(a×4)−2b+10=4a−2b+18
Now equate p(2)=0 and p(1)=0 as shown below:
a−b+11=0
⇒a−b=−11.......(1)
4a−2b+18=0
⇒2(2a−b+9)=0
⇒2a−b+9=0
⇒2a−b=−9.......(2)
Now subtract equation 1 from equation 2:

(2a−a)+(−b+b)=(−9+11)
⇒a=2
Substitute a=2 in equation 1:
2−b=−11
⇒−b=−11−2
⇒−b=−13
⇒b=13
Hence, a=2 and b=13.

Find the difference between8/15 and −2/3. Show all calculations in your final answer.

Answers

Answer:

6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

8/15 - (-2/3)

8/15 + 2/3

24 + 30/45

54/45 = 6/5

Thus, the difference between 8/15 and -2/3 is 6/5

(8/15) - (-2/3)

Start by changing the minus a negative to plus a positive.

So we have 8/15 + 2/3.

To add these two fractions together, we need a common denominator.

The common denominator is simply the

least common multiple for the two denominators.

You should find that the least common multiple is 15.

Since 8/15 already has 15 as its denominator, leave it.

To get a denominator of 15 in 2/3, we multiply top

and bottom of 2/3 by 5 to get 10/15.

So we have 8/15 + 10/5.

This simplifies to 18/15.

Now reduce to get 6/5.

a positive number is 7 times another number if 3 is added to both the numbers then one of the new number becomes 5 by 2 times the other new number what are the numbers​

Answers

Answer:

7 and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be a and b.

A positive number is 7 times another number:

a = 7b

If 3 is added to both the numbers then one of the new number becomes 5 by 2 times the other new number:

a+3 = 5/2 × (b +3)

To solve this we substitute a with 7b in the second equation:

7b + 3 = 5/2 × (b +3)               ⇒ multiplying both sides by 214b + 6 = 5b + 15                    ⇒ collecting like terms14b - 5b = 15 - 69b = 9b = 1                                        ⇒ solved for b

Then, finding a:

a= 7ba=7*1a= 7                                        ⇒ solved for a

So the numbers are 7 and 1

A vehicle has a will 15 inches in diameter. If the vehicle travels 2 miles, how many revolutions does the wheel make? This is Applications of unit conversions

Answers

Find the circumference of the wheel:

Circumference = PI x Diameter = 3.14 x 15 = 47.1 inches.

Every revolution the tire travels 47.1 inches.

1 mile = 5,280 feet, so 2 miles = 5280 x 2 = 10,560 feet.

1 foot = 12 inches.

2 miles = 10,560 feet x 12 = 126,720 inches.

Revolutions = total distance /  distance per revolution:

Revolutions = 126,720 / 47.1 = 2,690.45 revolutions ( round answer as needed.)

Answer:

d-2  and d cannot = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

d^2 -10d+16

-----------------------

d-8

Factor the numerator

( d-8)(d-2)

-------------------

d-8

The undefined values occur when the denominator is equal to zero

d-8 = 0  

  d= 8

This means d cannot equal 8

Now cancel like terms in the equation ( d-8)

This yields d-2

Answer: d - 2 and d cannot equal 8

Step-by-step explanation: To simplify this rational expression, start by factoring both the numerator and the denominator.

So factoring the numerator in this problem, we have a

trinomial that factors as the product of two binomials.

So we are looking for factors of +16 that add to -10 which are -8 and -2.

So we have (d - 8)(d - 2) in the numerator.

The denominator doesn't factor however.

So we have [tex]\frac{(d - 8)(d - 2)}{(d - 8)}[/tex] and the d - 8's cancel leaving us with d - 2.

The values d cannot be happen when the denominator is set equal to 0.

So we have d - 8 = 0 which means d = 8.

This means d = 8 wouldn't work!

find the third term of the geometric sequence when a1 = 1/4 and r=-2

Answers

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

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

(-2)(-1/2)

=1

the third term of the geometric sequence with first term = 1/4 and common ratio r = -2 is 1

We have a geometric sequence in which the first term is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] and the common ratio is -2.

We have to find the third term of this geometric sequence.

What is the formula to find the [tex]n^{th}[/tex] term of a geometric sequence?

The formula to find the [tex]n^{th}[/tex] term of a geometric sequence with first term [tex]a_{1}[/tex] and common ratio r is -

[tex]a_{n} =a_{1} r^{n-1}[/tex]

In our question, [tex]a_{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]  and r = -2 and n =3.

Substituting the values, we get -

[tex]a_{3} =\frac{1}{4}(-2)^{3-1} = \frac{1}{4} (-2)^{2} =\frac{1}{4}\times4=1[/tex]

Hence, the third term of the geometric sequence with first term = 1/4 and common ratio r = -2 is 1.

The distribution is biased. A I and II B I only C II and III D I, III, and IV E II only

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

B. I only

Step-by-step explanation:

The central limit theorem states that when adequately large random samples are taken from a population that has a mean, μ, and standard deviation, σ, the distributions of the sample means of individual samples taken will be more or less (approximately) normally distributed

The central limit theorem is correct for both normal and skewed populations such that estimates can be made about the population mean based on available sample mean information.

52 divided by 5424


198 div by 8549 but need to see how to get the correct answer . Don’t want to use a calculator

Answers

Answer:

52 / 5424 = 0.00958..

198 / 8549 = 0.0231 ..

Step-by-step explanation:

52 / 5424

First of all, you need to add 0 plus a coma → 0.

52 becomes 520, but this value is smaller than 5424, so we need to add another 0

5200 → another 0 → 52000

So now, we have 52000 / 5424.

We start,  5424 . 10 = 54240, we are higher than 52000, so let's try 9

5424 . 9 = 48816, great!

52000 - 48816 = 3184

This is smaller than 5424, so we need a zero, again. But we do not add 0 to the result, because we are in the decimal side

31840 → 31840 / 5424. We would try 6,

5424 . 6 = 32544. It's bigger!, We use 5

5424 . 5 = 27120!

31840 - 27120 = 4720. We get another 0

47200, and we try 8.

5424 . 8 = 43392

47200 - 43392 = 3808.

So we are going to add 0, until we have four digits that can be divided by 5424 and decimals are infinte.

52 / 5424 = 0.00958..

198 / 8549 → Need to add, the first 0 to convert 198 to 1980

1980 = 0. → Another zero

19800 = 0.0 → 19800 / 8549

We try 2 → 8549 . 2 = 17098

19800 - 17098 = 2702 → we add 0

27020 / 8549 → We try 3

8549 . 3 = 25647 → 27020 - 25647 = 1373 → we add 0

13730 / 8549 → We use 1 → 13730 - 8549 = 5181

As decimal are infinite, we can express the result as:

198 / 8549 = 0.0231 ..

A triangular tent has a perimeter of 29 meters. Side a is 3 meters shorter than twice side b and side c is 4 meters longer than side b, Find the length of side b.


A) 11 meters
B) 14 meters
C) 9 meters
D) 7 meters

Answers

Answer:

D) 7 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

So I would start this off by plugging in the variables into side B. So if we were to plug 7 into B there would be 22 meters left of the perimeter. Therefore meaning 22 between A and C. Now A is 3 meters shorter than TWICE of B. So 7 times 2 is 14 and 14 minus 3 is 11. now we have 11 and 7 which equals 18. 29 minus 18 giving us 11 left. 11 is C. Now it says c is 4 meters longer than B so it 7 plus 4 is 11. And everything adds up. HOPE THIS HELPS.

Answer:

Side b=7 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Perimeter of triangle=29m

Side a=2b-3

Side b=b

Side c=4+b

To find:

Side b

Solution:

P of triangle=a+b+c

29=2b-3+b+4+b

29=2b+b+b+4-3

29=4b+1

29-1=4b

b=28/4

b=7m
