Answer:

x^3+2x^2-x-2=(x+2)(x-1)(x+1)

The other two factors are x-1 and x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Use synthetic division:

x^3+2x^2-x-2 / x+2

-2 | 1 2 -1 -2

       -2 0 2

_________

     1 0 -1 0

This means x^2-1 with no remainder, but we can still break it down. The factors of -1 are 1 and -1, so we must find the factors:

1 | 1 0 -1

      1  1

______

   1  1 0

This means x+1 so that's one factor

-1 | 1 0 -1

      -1  1

_______

    1 -1 0

This means x-1 so that's the other factor

Thus, the factors of x^3+2x^2-x-2 are (x+2)(x+1)(x-1)

A landscaping company has been commissioned to design a triangular flower bed for a mall
Deffense [45]

Answer:

A=b(1/2b-1)

112ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

-Write the equation in factored form: A= b (1/2 b -1 )

-Supposed the base of the flower bed is 16 feet. What will the area be:

b=16 feet

Formula is A=1/2(1/2b-1)

Replace the b with 16

A=1/2 (16)^2 - 16

A=1/2 (256)-16

A=256/2 - 16

A=128-16

A=112 ft^2

The area will be 112 ft^2
