Determine if x + 3 is a factor of -3x^3+6x^2+6x+9 How do you know

Mathematics

Reika [66]2 years ago

Answer:

  x+3 is not a factor

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator shows the expression has a zero at x=3 and no other real zeros. If x+3 were a factor, there would be a zero at x = -3.

  x+3 is not a factor of the expression.

_____

You can check to see if x+3 is a factor by evaluating the expression for x=-3. If (x+3) is a factor, x=-3 will make the function be zero.

  3(-x³ +2x² +2x +3) = 3(((-x +2)x +2)x +3) = 3(((-(-3)+2)(-3) +2)(-3) +3)

  = 3((-15+2)(-3) +3) = 3(39 +3) = 126 ≠ 0

The expression evaluates to 126 at x=-3, so x+3 is NOT a factor.

Best estimate for 61/7
Ne4ueva [31]

I would say the best estimate would be 9 because the real answer is 8.71 and if you round that to the 1 place the answer would be 9.

Both the diameter and height of a cylinder vase are 2.5 times greater than a dimilar vase. The surface area of the smaller vase
faust18 [17]

Both diameter and height are scaled by 2.5.

Area is measured in squared units ( square centimetres).

Square the scale factor:

2.5^2 = 6.25

Multiply the area of the smaller vase by the scale:

2826 x 6.25 = 17,662.5 square cm.

Persons taking a​ 30-hour review course to prepare for a standardized exam average a score of 620 on that exam. Persons taking a
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

y = 4.125x + 496.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the data up as points. Then deal with the points.

Givens

(30,620)

(70,785)

y2 = 785

y1 = 620

x2 = 70

x1 = 30

Formula

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Solution

Slope = (785 - 620)/(70 - 30)

Slope = 165 / 40

Slope = 4.125

===================

Now you need the y intercept. Either one of the two given points will give you that.

y = 620

x = 30

m = 4.125

y = mx + b

620 = 4.125*30 + b

620 = 123.75 + b

620 - 123.75 + b

b = 496.25
