You have to searh the x values that make f(x) = 0
Factoring this equation is very difficult.
You can divide by x+3 and you will find that the equation can be factored as
(x+3)(x-4)^2
That means that x = -3 and x = 4 make f(x) = 0
Then the points are (-3,0) and (4,0).
Answer:
Andre has the correct answer. When simplified his answer is equivalent to the original equation.
Answer:
42 square centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
The total of sides FA and AB will be half the perimeter of the rectangle, or 14 cm. Since AB is 9 cm, that means FA is 5 cm.
EF is the difference between EF and FA, so is 11 cm -5 cm = 6 cm.
FC is the same 9 cm length as AB, so we have enough information about the trapezoid to use the area formula:
A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h
A = (1/2)(9 cm +5 cm)(6 cm) = 42 cm^2
The area of the trapezium is 42 cm^2.
Make it a trinomial by using the FOIL method.
