Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a third degree polynomial since we have 3 zeros. We find these zeros by factoring the given polynomial. The zeros of a polynomial are where the graph of the function goes through the x-axis (where y = 0). If x = -4, the factor that gives us this value is (x + 4) = 0 and solving that for x, we get x = -4. If x = -2, the factor that gives us that value is (x + 2) = 0 and solving that for x, we get x = -2. Same for the 5. The way we find the polynomial that gave us these zeros is to go backwards from the factors and FOIL them out. That means that we need to find the product of
(x + 4)(x + 2)(x - 5). Do the first 2 terms, then multiply in the third.
, which simplifies to

No we multiply in the final factor of (x - 5):
which simplifies to

If you are aware of the method for factoring higher degree polymomials, which is to use the Rational Root Theorem and synthetic division, you will see that this factors to x = -4, -2, 5. If you know how to use your calculator, you will find the same zeros in your solving polynomials function in your apps.
Answer:
Joel earns $35.00 commission and the store keeps $715.
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to figure 5% of what he sold - or 5% of $750.
Of course, you can use a calculator, or multiply $750 by .05. I prefer to think of 10 percent ($75.00) and half that to get 5%. $35.00.
Joel earns $35.00 on the sale. Not bad!
If he gets to keep $35, deduct this from the price to find out how much the store will keep.
$750 - $35 - $715.
All of them specifically?
Answer:
x>4
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving an inequality is very similar to solving an equation:
Given: 7x-6>22
Add 6 to both sides: 7x>28
Divide both side by 7: x>4
x>4 means that all x-values that are greater than 4 will work. Therefore you would write an open dot at x=4 on the number line to show that 4 isn't included, and draw an arrow going right to show all possible solutions greater than 4.
