(x+4)((x^2) - kx - 5) is expanded and simplified. The coefficient of the x^2 term twice the coefficient of the x term. Work out the value of k.

(x + 4) (x 2 - kx - 5) = x 3 - kx 2 - 5x + 4x 2 - 4kx - 20 = x 3 + (4-k)x 2 + (-5-4k)x - 20.The coefficients are: (4-k) of x 2 and (-5-4k) of x. Now we can write the equation:(4-k) = 2(-5 - 4k) /expand4 - k ...

A straight line passes trough the points A(-4;7); B(6;-5); C(8;t). Use an algebraic method to work out the value of t.

We can write the equation of a straight line like y=ax+b, where a and b are constants. If a point is on the line, the equation will be true for the x,y of the point.Now start with point A: 7 = (-4)a + b. Res...
