So you have your polynomial. To factor this out, you need to find the factors of -45 that will add up to 3. These two factors would be -5 and 8. So, you have factored your polynomial! (x-5)(x+8). If you are still unsure, simply use the FOIL method to check and see if you get the same polynomial back. Hope this helps!

What is the slope- intercept form equation of the line that passes through (5, 7) and (8, 22)

kap26 [50]

M = (22 - 7)/(8 - 5) = 15/3 = 5
using point (5, 7) 
y - 7 = 5(x - 5) in point-slope form 
y - 7 = 5x - 25 
y = 5x - 18 in slope-intercept form.

Can a cubic equation have 3 complex roots? 3 real roots? ...?

trasher [3.6K]

No, a cubic equation can not have three complex roots. This is because it turns twice and one end goes to positive infinity and one end goes to negative infinity. Thus, one of these MUST cross the x-axis at some point, meaning y = 0 and a real root exists.

Yes, a cubic equation can have three real roots if it cuts the x-axis three times.

Answer:

About $1,178,974

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, the sequence we have right now is:

500,000 550,000 605,000

We want to find the common ratio, so let's divide 550,000 by 500,000 and see if we get the same value as 605,000 divided by 550,000:

550,000/500,000 = 1.1

605,000/550,000 = 1.1
