The zeros of the polynomial are -3, -2, 4 and 6 and the graph of the polynomial is graph (a)

<h3>How to factor the polynomial?</h3>

The polynomial is given as:

P(x) = x^4 - 5x^3 - 20x^2 + 60x + 144

Expand the polynomial function

P(x) = x^4 - 10x^3 + 5x^3 + 24x^2 - 50x^2 + 6x^2 + 120x - 60x + 144

Rewrite the function as:

P(x) = x^4 - 10x^3 + 24x^2 + 5x^3 - 50x^2 + 120x + 6x^2 - 60x + 144

Factorize the function

P(x) = x^2(x^2 - 10x + 24) + 5x(x^2 - 10x + 24) + 6(x^2 - 10x + 24)

Factor out x^2 - 10x + 24

P(x) = (x^2 + 5x + 6)(x^2 - 10x + 24)

Expand each bracket

P(x) = (x^2 + 3x + 2x + 6)(x^2 - 4x - 6x + 24)

Factorize each bracket

P(x) = [x(x + 3) + 2(x + 3)][x(x - 6) - 4(x - 6)]

Factor out x + 3 and x - 6

P(x) = (x + 3)(x + 2)(x - 4)(x - 6)

Set to 0

(x + 3)(x + 2)(x - 4)(x - 6) = 0

Solve for x

x =-3, -2, 4 and 6

Hence, the zeros of the polynomial are -3, -2, 4 and 6 and the graph of the polynomial is graph (a)

2(n+5)=-2 <br><br> I need the steps
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

n = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

2 ( n + 5 ) = -2

First, solve the brackets.

2n + 10 = -2

Now take 10 to the right side.

2n + 10 -10 = -2 - 10

2n = -12

Then divide both sides by 2.

\frac{2n}{2} =\frac{-12}{2}

And now you'll the value of n.

n = ( -6 )
