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.
Answer:
Try your best! I know you can do it!
5/6
The greatest common denominator of 45 and 54 is 9.
45/(divided) 9 = 5
54/(divided) 9 = 6
Answer:
4k(2k² - 5k - 4) + 5(2k² - 5k - 4)
8k³ - 20k² - 16k + 10k² -25k - 20
8k³ - 10k² - 41k - 20
Thus its G
