Answer:

(x - 3), (x + 2), (x + 1) and (x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using synthetic division, I'd begin by testing various factors of -18 to determine whether any of them will divide into f(x)=x^4+3x^3-7x^2-27x-18 with no remainder.  Note that possible factors of -18 are ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6, ±18.

Let's arbitrarily start with -3.  In synthetic division, will the divisor yield a zero remainder ( which would tell us that -3 is a root of f(x)=x^4+3x^3-7x^2-27x-18 and that (x + 3) is a factor)?

-3   )   1    3    -7    -27    -18

              -3    0      21    +18

     ------------------------------------

         1      0    -7     -6      0  

Since the remainder is zero, -3 is a root and (x + 3) is a factor.  The coefficients of the quotient are shown above:  1  0  -7  -6.  Possible factors of 6 include ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6.  Arbitrarily choose 2.  Is this a root or not?

2    )    1     0     -7    -6

                 2     4     -6

      --------------------------

          1       2     -3    -12    

Here the remainder is not zero, so +2 is not a root and (x - 2) is not a factor.

Continuing to use synthetic division, I find that -1 is a root and (x + 1) is a factor, because the remainder of synth. div. is zero.  The coefficients of the quotient are 1, -1 and -6, which represents the quadratic y = x^2 - x - 6, whose factors are (x - 3)(x + 2).

Thus, the four factors of the original polynomial are (x - 3), (x + 2), (x + 1) and (x + 3).

Find the slope of the line.<br> 9x+y=9
Serggg [28]

Answer: -9/1

Step-by-step explanation: you want to get x and y on opposite sides so you subtract 9x and that gives you y=-9x+9 because the nine on the right side doesn’t have a negative in front of it so you know it’s positive. Your slope is whatever comes before the x so since it’s -9 that means it’s -9/1

What is the value if x ?
dexar [7]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to use the fact that all angles of a triangle add up to 180 and two supplementary angles add up to 180.

First,QRS forms a line, so angle QRT and angle TRS add up to 180 or, if we call angle TRS y for the sake of having it as a variable, 45x+y=180 or y=180-45x

Now we have all three angles of the triangle, and we know all three add up to 180, so startign with our newly found angle, (180-45x)+(25x)+(57+x)=180

180-45x+25x+57+x=180

237 - 19x = 180

57 = 19x

x=3

Let me know if you need any further explanation.
