Answer:

(x-3)({x}^{2}+1)(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Factor x^4 - x^3 - 5x^2 - x - 6 using Polynomial Division.

1 - Factor the following.

x^4 - x^3 - 5x^2 - x - 6

2 - First, find all factors of the constant term 6.

1, 2, 3, 6

3 - Try each factor above using the Remainder Theorem.

Substitute 1 into x. Since the result is not 0, x-1 is not a factor..

1^4 - 1^3 - 5 * 1^2 - 1 - 6 = - 12

Substitute -1 into x. Since the result is not 0, x+1 is not a factor..

( - 1 ) ^ 4 - ( - 1 ) ^ 3 - 5 ( - 1 ) ^ 2 + 1 - 6 = - 8

Substitute 2 into x. Since the result is not 0, x-2 is not a factor..

{2}^{4}-{2}^{3}-5\times {2}^{2}-2-6 = -20

Substitute -2 into x. Since the result is 0, x+2 is a factor..

{(-2)}^{4}-{(-2)}^{3}-5{(-2)}^{2}+2-6 = 0

⇒ x+2

4 - Polynomial Division: Divide {x}^{4}-{x}^{3}-5{x}^{2}-x-6 by x+2

                                        x^3                -3x^2              x           -3

                                            --------------------------------------------------------------

x+2                                    |   x^4        -x^3               -5x^2     -x           -6

                                                  x^4         2x^3

                                                 ------------------------------------------------------------

                                               -3x^3         -5x^2          -x              -6

                                                 -3x^3       -6x^2

                                                   ---------------------------------------

                                                    -3x         -6

                                                       -3x      -6

                                                       ---------------

5 - Rewrite the expression using the above.

{x}^{3}-3{x}^{2}+x-3

2) Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.

({x}^{2}(x-3)+(x-3))(x+2)

3) Factor out the common term x-3.

(x-3)({x}^{2}+1)(x+2)

Solve this using square roots and show your work please<br> 4x^2-256=0
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

x = ± 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x² - 256 = 0 ( add 256 to both sides )

4x² = 256 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x² = 64 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{64} = ± 8

Solutions are x = - 8, x = 8

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through <br> (7, 2) and (2, 12).
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(12 - 2)/(2 - 7) = 10/-5 = -2

y - 12 = -2(x - 2)

y - 12 = -2x + 2

y = -2x + 14
