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:

There are two possible solutions for the other two vertices of the rectangle:

(i) (4, 1), (-1, 1), (ii) (4, -7), (-1, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometrically speaking, the perimeter of a rectangle ( $p$ ) is:

$p = 2\cdot b + 2\cdot h$ (1)

Where:

$b$ - Base of the rectangle.

$h$ - Height of the rectangle.

Let suppose that the base of the rectangle is the line segment between (4, -3) and (-1, -3). The length of the base is calculated by Pythagorean Theorem:

$b = \sqrt{[(-1)-4]^{2}+[(-3)-(-3)]^{2}}$

$b = 5$

If we know that $p = 18$ and $b = 5$ , then the height of the rectangle is:

$2\cdot h = p-2\cdot b$

$h = \frac{p-2\cdot b}{2}$

$h = \frac{p}{2}-b$

$h = 4$

There are two possible solutions for the other two vertices of the rectangle:

(i) (4, 1), (-1, 1), (ii) (4, -7), (-1, -7)
