You would use syntheitc division to find this out. If, after we do the division, we have a remainder of 0, then the binomial is a factor. If there is a remainder that is a real number (any number that's not a 0), then the binomial is not a factor. It's that simple. We will start at the top. Our first binomial is x - 7 = 0. That means that x = 7. We will put 7 outside the "box" and the coefficients of the terms inside the box, like this: 7 (1 19 84). Bring down the 1. Multiply that 1 by the 7 to get 7. Put that 7 up under the 19 and add to get 26. Multiply that 26 by the 7 to get 182. Put that 182 up under the 84 and add to get 266. Definitely NOT a 0, so x - is not a factor. Let's move to the next one. x + 84 = 0, so x = -84. Put -84 outside the box and the coefficients of the terms inside like this: -84 (1 19 84). Bring down the 1 and multiply it by -84 to get -84. Put that -84 up under the 19 and add to get -65. Multiply that -65 by the -84 to get 5460. Again, not a 0. Moving on...x + 7 = 0 so x = -7. Set up the same way. Bring down the 1 and multiply by the -7 to get -7. Put that -7 up under the 19 and add to get 12. Multiply 12 by the -7 to get -84. Put the -84 up under the 84 and add to get 0. That means that x + 7 is a factor of the polynomial. Just so you know, one of the rules of synthetic division is that you are only allowed to use binomials as your possible roots. x^2+12 is itself a polynomial so we can't use sythetic division to do this. Also, because both the polynomials are second degree polynomials, they won't divide evenly anyway. So your only factor is x + 7. There you go!

Factored form:
(x+12)(x+7)
Proof:
12+7=19
12*7=84

The y -intercept of the line whose equation is x - y = -1 is<br><br> 0<br> 1<br> -1
Feliz [49]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

y- intercept occurs at x= 0. Thus, the y-intercept of a line can be found by substituting x= 0 into it's equation.

x -y= -1

When x= 0,

0 -y= -1

-y= -1

Divide both sides by -1:

y= -1 ÷(-1)

y= 1

Thus, the y-intercept is 1.

Ugo [173]
Here you'll want to add 5/8 with 5/8.  Since they have the same denominator already then 5/8+5/8 = 10/8.  Simplifying that down to 5/4 then changing to a mixed number is 1 1/4 inches.

Solve for x: 4 over 5 x + 4 over 3 = 2x x = __________________ Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form. Use the "/" sym
Vesna [10]
4/5x + 4/3 = 2x....there are 2 ways to do this...one with fractions, one without.

with :
4/5x + 4/3 = 2x
4/3 = 2x - 4/5x
4/3 = 10/5x - 4/5x
4/3 = 6/5x
4/3 * 5/6 = x
20/18 = x
10/9 = x

without :
4/5x + 4/3 = 2x....multiply by common denominator of 15
12x + 20 = 30x
20 = 30x - 12x
20 = 18x
20/18 = x
10/9 = x
