Using the rational root theorem, it is found that your friend is correct.
<h3>What is the rational root theorem?</h3>
- It is a theorem that states that for a polynomial with integer coefficients, with q being the factors of the leading coefficient and p being the factors of the constant, every <u>possible rational root</u> is the format
.
In this problem:
- The leading coefficient is 1, hence it's only factor is
, thus guaranteeing that every possible rational zero is an integer, which means that your friend is correct.

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:
W = -L + V
Step-by-step explanation:
V = L + W
~Subtract L to both sides
V - L = W
Best of Luck!
Average of 2 numbers is 40
so total = 2 x 40 = 80
300 - 80 = 220
average of remaining 10 numbers = 220/10 = 22
answer
B) 22
First, we can see that there are four sides, and none of these equation contradict each other, so it is safe to say that <em>this is a quadrilateral</em>.
Second, all of the equations have the slope of <em>0 or undefined</em>, so it is a rectangle.
Lastly, the four points of intersection shows us that the side lengths are <em>3 and 5</em> units, so the area of it is 15 units².
