Ok here are the steps and the answer
Answer:
how to reduce (simplify) fraction 272/3 to lowest terms? Write it as an improper fraction, a mixed number, a decimal number, a percentage
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Answer: m = 2
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
f(x) = x² - 4x + 1
f(m) = m² - 4m + 1 = -3
m² - 4m + 4 = 0
(m - 2)(m - 2) = 0
m = 2
***************************************************
b. Answer: k = 2 and k = 5
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
f(x) = x² - 7x + 14
f(k) = k² - 7k + 14 = 4
k² - 7k + 10 = 0
(k - 2)(k - 5) = 0
k = 2 k = 5
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: See below
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>To find the factor,</u>
f(x) = 0

<u>So,</u>
x = 0 multiplicity 2
x = -6 multiplicity 1
x = 6 multiplicity 1
For an even multiplicty, the graph touches the x-axis, and for an odd multiplicty, the graph crosses the x-axis
<u>Therefore,</u>
x = 0 multiplicty 2, Touch
x = -6 multiplicty 1, Cross
x = 6 multiplicty 1, Cross
