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)

If it took 8 hours to clean 12 houses how many houses could be cleaned in 12 hours
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
It takes 8 hours to clean 12 houses so that’s 8/12 to find how many hours it take to clean one house, 8/12 is equal 2/3 . So it takes 2/3 of an hour to clean one house. 2/3 times 12 equals 8. So you want to find how many houses you can clean in 12 hours. The equation is 12= 2/3x , x=18. The answer is 18 houses. Check the work cus I sure didn’t lol, hope this helps
