Answer:
Error of Andrew: Made incorrect factors from the roots
Step-by-step explanation:
Roots of the polynomial are: 3, 2 + 2i, 2 - 2i. According to the factor theorem, if a is a root of the polynomial P(x), then (x - a) is a factor of P(x). According to this definition:
(x - 3) , (x - (2 + 2i)) , (x - (2 - 2i)) are factors of the required polynomial.
Simplifying the brackets, we get:
(x - 3), (x - 2 - 2i), (x - 2 + 2i) are factors of the required polynomial.
This is the step where Andrew made the error. The factors will always be of the form (x - a) , not (x + a). Andrew wrote the complex factors in form of (x + a) which resulted in the wrong answer.
So, the polynomial would be:

The answer is b. 11.
You can find this by multiplying the two parenthesis together. In order to do this, you can use a multiplying process known as FOIL (First, Outer, Inner, Last), where you multiply parts of the parenthesis in this order to make sure you do so properly.
First Numbers:
2x * x = 2x^2
Outer Numbers:
2x * 6 = 12x
Inner Numbers:
-1 * x = -1x
Last Numbers:
-1*6 = -6
Now place them all in that order and simplify.
2x^2 + 12x - x - 6 ---> simplify x terms
2x^2 + 11x - 6
Since the middle term (the one with the x value) has a coefficient of 11, that gives us a b value of 11.
If Mallory makes $42.50 per hour and she works 20 hours a week, we multiple those two and we get:
42.5 * 20 = 850
So she earns $850 per week.
Mallory saves half of that amount she would have $425 per week.
In 4 weeks she would have:
425 * 4 = 1700
Mallory will save $1,700 in four weeks.
