Question

X 3 + 14x 2 + 59x + 70 = (x + 2)(x + 5)(x + a0)

Answer 1

a0 = 7 because 2 * 5 * 7 = 70

Answer 2

7

Explanation:

`x^3 + 14x^2 + 59x + 70 = (x + 2)(x + 5)(x + a_0)`

Here a0 is a constant

To find the value of a0 we multiply all the constant terms and make it equal to constant 70

2 times 5 times a0 is 10a_0

`10a_0=70`

Divide both sides by 10

`a_0= 7`

So, the value of a_0 is 7
