Answer:

x=4+2\sqrt{3}

x=4-2\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Completing the square</u>

when  ax^2+bx+c=0

Given equation:

3x^2-24x+40=28

Subtract 40 from both sides:

\implies 3x^2-24x=-12

Divide both sides by 3:

\implies x^2-8x=-4

Add the square of half the coefficient of x to both sides:

(\frac{b}{2})^2=(\frac{-8}{2})^2=16

\implies x^2-8x+16=-4+16

Factor the left side and simplify the right side:

\implies (x-4)^2=12

Square root both sides:

\implies x-4=\pm\sqrt{12}

Add 4 to both sides and simplify the radical:

\implies x=4\pm\sqrt{4 \cdot 3}

\implies x=4\pm\sqrt{4}\sqrt{3}

\implies x=4\pm2\sqrt{3}

What is the degree of the polynomial and what the y-intercept
Arada [10]

Answer:

Polynom degree: 5

Y intercept point: (0, 80)

Step-by-step explanation:

P(x)=(x+5)(x+4)²(x+1)²

When you expand, the highest power of x is 1 for first term (x+5), 2 for second term (x+4)² and again 2 for (x+1)². Overall, x⁵ will be the x term with highest power. So the degree of the polynom is 5.

The y intercept, i.e. intersection with OY axis, happens for x=0. Thus, P(0)=5×4²×1²=5×16=80. The y intercept point is (0, 80)
