Answer:
x = -3 and x = -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
After writing down the polynomial, split it; put a line between 3x^2 and -18x. Look and 2x^3 + 3x^2 and -18x - 27 separately and factor them both:
p(x) = 2x^3 + 3x^2 <u>- 18x -27</u>
p(x) = x^2(2x+3) <u>-9(2x+3)</u>
Now notice how x^2 and -9 have the same factor (2x+3). That means x^2 and -9 can go together:
p(x) = (x^2 - 9)(2x+3)
Factor it once more because there's a difference of squares:
p(x) = (x+3)(x-3)(2x+3)
Now just plug in whatever makes the each bracket equal 0:
x = -3, x = 3, and x = -3/2
Those are your zeros.
One is a linear and the other is a quadratic polynomial.
And (x+2) is indeed a factor.
You can rewrite it as (x+2)(3x-7)
Answer:
13_8
Step-by-step explanation:
if the first number in the decimal is 5 or up then you round up if its 4 or less you round down meaning it would be 13 and 8
There are 7 cards. The number of possible correct picks is 2 (if you pick an 'S') plus 1 (if you pick the 'U') = 3 ways to succeed. So the probability of success is 3/7 ... about 43% .
