Answer:

(x - 3) is a factor of P(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

if (x - 3) is a factor of P(x) then P(3) = 0

P(3) = 2(3)³ + 5(3)² - 28(3) - 15

= 2(27) + 5(9) - 84 - 15

= 54 + 45 - 99

= 99 - 99

= 0

since P(3) = 0 then (x - 3) is a factor of P(x)

How do u turn y-4=5/3(x+3) into standard form

BARSIC [14]

well, bearing in mind that standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

so hmmm we have a fraction.... so let's multiply both sides by the LCD of all fractions to do away with denominators, hmmm say the LCD will just be 3, so we'll multiply both sides by that

$\bf y-4=\cfrac{5}{3}(x+3)\implies y-4=\cfrac{5(x+3)}{3}\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{3}}{3(y-4)=3\left( \cfrac{5(x+3)}{3} \right)} \\\\\\ 3y-12=5(x+3)\implies 3y-12=5x+15\implies 3y=5x+27 \\\\\\ -5x+3y=27\implies 5x-3y=-27$

6) Find the surface area of the rectangular prism.

ANEK [815]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area of a rectangular prism, measure the length, width, and height of the prism. Find the area of the top and bottom faces by multiplying the length and width of the prism. Then, calculate the area of the left and right faces by multiplying the width and height.

When multiplying a decimal do you move it forward or backward

egoroff_w [7]

You move it backward like 0.054 times 100 is 5.4
