What is the value of k such that x-5 is a factor of x3 – x2 + kx - 30?

Mathematics

Answer:

k = - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

given that (x - 5) is a factor of the polynomial then x = 5 is a root and

x³ - x² + kx - 30 = 0 for x = 5, that is

5³ - 5² + 5k - 30 = 0

125 - 25 + 5k - 30 = 0

70 + 5k = 0 ( subtract 70 from both sides )

5k = - 70 ( divide both sides by 5 )

k = - 14

Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total 'halwa' made = 1

Divided into four equal portion = 1/4

Arrival of an unexpected guest = 1/5

By what percentage has each family member's share been reduced:

Change in the sharing proportion:

Previous share ratio - new sharing ratio

(1/4 - 1/5) = (5 - 4) / 20 = 1/20

That means total reduction in the sharing = 1/ 20

Since each member comes contributed equally:

Reduction in each family member's share ;

(1 / 20) ÷ 4

(1 / 20) * 1/4 = 1/ 80

Percentage reduction:

(Reduction / original share) * 100%

[(1/80) ÷ (1/4)] * 100

(1/80 * 4/1) * 100%

(1/20) * 100%

= 5%

Reduction in each family members share = 5%

Suppose a research paper states that the distribution of the daily sea-ice advance/retreat from each sensor is similar and is ap
Luda [366]

Answer:

The value of the parameter is λ is 0.03553357

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

f(x) = 0.5\lambda e^{-\lambda |x|} for −∞ < x < ∞.

It is given that standard deviation is given as 39.8 km.

Now we need to calculate the value of parameter λ.

The general formula for the probability density function of the double exponential distribution is: f(x)=\frac{e^{-|\frac{x-\mu}{\beta}|}}{2\beta}

Where μ is the location parameter and β is the scale parameter.

Compare the provided equation with the above formula we get.

\lambda=\frac{1}{\beta} and μ = 0.

Standard deviation = √2β

S.D=\sqrt{2} \beta\\\beta=\frac{39.8}{\sqrt{2}}\\\beta=28.1424

Now substitute the value of β in \lambda=\frac{1}{\beta}.

\lambda=\frac{1}{28.1424}=0.03553357

Hence, the value of the parameter is λ is 0.03553357

The correlation coefficient for the ages of drivers in a driver safety class and the number of traffic violations they have rece
Doss [256]
A correlation coefficient is always a value in between -1 and 1
The closest a coefficient to -1, the correlation is a strong negative correlation
The closest a coefficient to 1, the correlation is a strong positive correlation
The closest a coefficient to 0, there is no correlation at all

The coefficient -0.61 shows a strong negative correlation
This means that the relationship between the age and the violation is an inverse relationship; as age increases, violation decreases

A. Find x. The figure is not drawn to scale.
blondinia [14]
Based on the given figure above, we can conclude that the triangle is an isosceles triangle. By definition, an isosceles triangle is a triangle that has at least two equal sides. Since this is an isosceles triangle, 8x-10 =6x. Now we can solve for x. So,
8x-10 =6x
8x-6x = 10
2x =10
x= 5.
Therefore, the value of x in the figure is 5. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.
