A = 16/3, b = 28/3
This is only a substitution

Answer:

a = 5 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b+b = 24

a + 2b = 24

b-a =4

a = b - 4

b - 4 + 2b = 24

3b = 24 + 4

b =28/3

substitute this in a = b - 4

a = 28/3 - 4

a = 28/3 - 12/3

a = 16/3

a = 5 1/3

You were given the polynomial f(x)=3x^3+13x^2+19x+k and you know that f(-2)=0find k

Answer:

k = 10

Explanation:

The initial polynomial is:

$f(x)=3x^3+13x^2+19x+k$

If f(-2) = 0, then when we replace x by -2, the result will be 0. It means that we can write the following equation:

$\begin{gathered} f(-2)=3(-2)^3+13(-2)^2+19(-2)+k=0 \\ 3(-2)^3+13(-2)^2+19(-2)+k=0 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, we can solve for k as follows:

$\begin{gathered} 3(-8)+13(4)+19(-2)+k=0 \\ -24+52-38+k=0 \\ -10+k=0 \\ -10+k+10=0+10 \\ k=10 \end{gathered}$

So, the value of k is 10
