If
then g(x) gives the signed area under f(x) over a given interval starting at 0.
In particular,
since the integral of any function over a single point is zero;
since the area under f(x) over the interval [0, 4] is a right triangle with length and height 4, hence area 1/2 • 4 • 4 = 8;
since the area over [4, 8] is the same as the area over [0, 4], but on the opposite side of the t-axis;
since the area over [8, 12] is the same as over [4, 8], but doesn't get canceled;
since the area over [12, 16] is the same as over [0, 4], and all together these four triangle areas cancel to zero;
since the area over [16, 20] is a trapezoid with "bases" 4 and 8, and "height" 4, hence area (4 + 8)/2 • 4 = 24;
since the area over [20, 24] is yet another trapezoid, but with bases 8 and 12, and height 4, hence area (8 + 12)/2 • 4 = 40, which we add to the previous area.
Answer:
3 x 34 = 102 + 2 = 104 is your answer just do the equation
Explanation:
Factoring to linear factors generally involves finding the roots of the polynomial.
The two rules that are taught in Algebra courses for finding real roots of polynomials are ...
- Descartes' rule of signs: the number of positive real roots is equal to the number of coefficient sign changes when the polynomial is written in standard form.
- Rational root theorem: possible rational roots will have a numerator magnitude that is a divisor of the constant, and a denominator magnitude that is a divisor of the leading coefficient when the coefficients of the polynomial are rational. (Trial and error will narrow the selection.)
In general, it is a difficult problem to find irrational real factors, and even more difficult to find complex factors. The methods for finding complex factors are not generally taught in beginning Algebra courses, but may be taught in some numerical analysis courses.
Formulas exist for finding the roots of quadratic, cubic, and quartic polynomials. Above 2nd degree, they tend to be difficult to use, and may produce results that are less than easy to use. (The real roots of a cubic may be expressed in terms of cube roots of a complex number, for example.)

Personally, I find a graphing calculator to be exceptionally useful for finding real roots. A suitable calculator can find irrational roots to calculator precision, and can use that capability to find a pair of complex roots if there is only one such pair.
There are web apps that will find all roots of virtually any polynomial of interest.

<em>Additional comment</em>
Some algebra courses teach iterative methods for finding real zeros. These can include secant methods, bisection, and Newton's method iteration. There are anomalous cases that make use of these methods somewhat difficult, but they generally can work well if an approximate root value can be found.
They are both the second choices 1.)Transitive Property
2.)Reflective Property
