The factors of a polynomial function are the zeros of the function
It is true that x - 3 is a factor of m(x) = x^3 - x^2 - 5x - 3
<h3>How to show why the x - 3 is a factor</h3>
The function is given as:
m(x) = x^3 - x^2 - 5x - 3
The factor is given as:
x - 3
Set the factor to 0
x - 3 = 0
Solve for x
x = 3
Substitute 3 for x in the function
m(3) = 3^3 - 3^2 - 5(3) - 3
Evaluate
m(3) =0
Since the value of m(3) is 0, then x - 3 is a factor of m(x) = x^3 - x^2 - 5x - 3

<span>Equation:
silver + silver = silver
0.45x + 0.60(40-x) = 0.48*40
----------------
45x + 60*40 - 60x = 48*40
--------
-15x = -12*40
x = (4/5)40
x = 32 lbs (amt of 45% slloy needed)
40-x = 8 lbs (amt of 60% alloy needed)</span>
