7) If x-2 is a factor of P(x)= x^2-5x+a then find the value of a 2
3
4
6
please answer

a = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that (x - 2) is a factor of P(x) , then P(2) = 0 , that is

P(2) = 2² - 5(2) + a = 0 , so

4 - 10 + a = 0

- 6 + a = 0 ( add 6 to both sides )

a = 6

b. 1.25 hr

step-by-step explanation:

if you have a constant speed of 60 mph, then you have a ratio between 60 mi. to 1 hr. dividing both sides by 60 we get the ratio

1 mi. to

then mult. both sides by 75 we get the ratio

75 mi. to

simplifying we get

75 mi. to

or 1.25 hr.
