Since it is x^3 cubed it has 3 maximum roots
by the zero multiplication property of function
if you plug find a root then you can deduce it is a factor in other words if f(x)=(x-a)(x-b)
then f(a)=0 and f(b)=0
so
f(2)=8+8-32-32= -48 therefore it is not a factor
f(-2)=-8+8+32-32=0 hence it is a factor
f(4)=64+32-64-32=0 it is a factor
f(-4)=-64+32+64-32=0 it is a factor
f(-6) it is not a factor via the fundmental therom of algebra
f(x)=(x+2)(x-4)(x+4)
=(x^2-16)(x+2)=x^3+2x^2-16x-32 which checks our work

Answer:  (A) No, (B) Yes, (C) Yes, (D) Yes, (E) No.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to whether each binomial is a factor of the following polynomial or not :

f(x)=x^3+2x^2-16x-32.

To select the correct factors, we need to factorize the given polynomial.

We will be using the following factorization formula :

a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b).

We have

f(x)\\\\=x^3+2x^2-16x-32\\\\=x^2(x+2)-16(x+2)\\\\=(x+2)(x^2-16)\\\\=(x+2)(x^2-4^2)\\\\=(x+2)(x+4)(x-4).

Therefore, the factors of the given polynomial are (x + 2), (x + 4) and (x - 4).

Thus,

<em><u>option (A) : (x - 2)</u></em>

No.

<em><u>option (B) : (x + 2)</u></em>

Yes.

<em><u>option (C) : (x - 4)</u></em>

Yes.

<em><u>option (D) : (x + 4)</u></em>

Yes.

<em><u>option (A) : (x + 6)</u></em>

No.

A line has a slope of -1/2 and a y-intercept of –2. What is the x-intercept of the line? –4, –1, 1 ,4
grin007 [14]
To get the x-intercept, we simply set y = 0 and solve for "x".

now, we have the slope and the y-intercept, well, let's plug those two in the slope-intercept form, reason why is called that anyway,

\bf y=\stackrel{slope}{-\cfrac{1}{2}}x\stackrel{y-intercept}{-2}\implies 0=-\cfrac{x}{2}-2\implies \cfrac{x}{2}=-2\implies x=-4

A cube has edges measuring 9 inches each find the volume
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
The formula for the volume of a cube is s^{3}, where s is the side length. Then, just do 9 to the third power, or 9*9*9, which equals 729.
