Ella has 3 apples. brad has 2 apples. sarah has 8 apples. how many apples do they have altogether?
Answer:
f(x) = x3 + 3x2 − 4x − 12
Step-by-step explanation:
A polynomial which falls tot he left and rises to the right is a function with a positive leading coefficient. Its formed by the x-intercepts or zeros x = -3, -2 and 2. The zeros form the factors (x+3)(x+2)(x-2). Multiply the factors using the distributive property to find the function in standard form.
(x+3)(x+2)(x-2)
(x^2 + 3x + 2x + 6)(x-2)
(x^2 + 5x + 6)(x-2)
x^3 + 5x^2 + 6x -2x^2 - 10x - 12
x^3 + 3x^2 - 4x - 12
Answer:
32x
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the debt has been represented by the function:
f(x)=-6x^2+8x+50
To get the number of years, x that it would take for the company to be debt free we proceed as follows:
we solve the equation for f(x)=0
hence:
0=-6x^2+8x+50
solving for x using the quadratic formula we get:
x=[-b+/-sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a
x=[-8+/-sqrt(8^2-4*(-6)*50)]/(-6*2)
x=[-8+/-√1264]/(-12)
x=27.552
x~28
