Sekkrit help If (x+1) is the factor of polynomial p(x) = ax²+x+1, then find a.

The value of a is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that (x+1) is a factor to a function, it means that when x = -1 is substitute into the function, you will get a 0 value. So you have to substitute the value of x into the function and make it 0, to find a :

Solution,

To find a,

We should know that,

Factor of polynomial gives root of polynomial like:x-a if a factor of p(X) then p(a)=0 at X=a

So,

X+1=0

X=0-1

X=-1

put x=-1 into p(X) it gives zero.

hope this helps....

Good luck on your assignment....

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.

d. bc = 12 and ef = 16

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that δabc : δdef such that .

also, it is given that

so, from the options, we need that .

a.

b.

c.  

d.

as, we can see that only option d gives the same ratio as i.e. .

hence, the possible lengths are bc = 12 and ef = 16.
