Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]x^3 + 14x^2 + 59x + 70 = (x + 2)(x + 5)(x + a_0)[/tex]
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
[tex]10a_0=70[/tex]
Divide both sides by 10
[tex]a_0= 7[/tex]
So, the value of a_0 is 7
