Part A. We are given the following polynomial:

This is a polynomial of the form:

The x-intercepts are the numbers that make the polynomial zero, that is:

The values of x are then found by setting each factor to zero:

Therefore, this values are:

In this case, the x-intercepts are:

The multiplicity are the exponents of the factor where we got the x-intercept, therefore, the multiplicities are:
Part B. The degree of a polynomial is the sum of its multiplicities, therefore, the degree in this case is:

To determine the end behavior of the polynomial we need to know the sign of the leading coefficient that is, the sign of the coefficient of the term with the highest power. In this case, the leading coefficient is -2, since the degree of the polynomial is an even number this means that both ends are down. If the leading coefficient were a positive number then both ends would go up. In the case that the leading coefficient was positive and the degree and odd number then the left end would be down and the right end would be up, and if the leading coefficient were a negative number and the degree an odd number then the left end would be up and the right end would be down.
Part C. A sketch of the graph is the following:
If the multiplicity is an odd number the graph will cross the x-axis at that x-intercept and if the multiplicity is an even number it will tangent to the x-axis at that x-intercept.

========================================================
Explanation:
The old dimensions of the rectangle were 30 by 15.
The new dimensions are 30+x by 15+x, where x is some positive number.
The new rectangle dimensions multiply to 1000
(30+x)(15+x) = 1000
Use the FOIL rule to expand out the left side like so
(30+x)(15+x) = 1000
450+30x+15x+x^2 = 1000
450+45x+x^2 = 1000
x^2+45x+450
Then lets get everything to one side
x^2+45x+450 = 1000
x^2+45x+450-1000 = 0
x^2+45x-550 = 0
---------------------
From here we use the quadratic formula
Plug in a = 1, b = 45, and c = -550.


Earlier we defined x to be a positive number. This means we ignore x = -55. It makes no sense to add on a negative amount to each dimension.
The only practical answer is x = 10.
So each dimension is increased by 10 feet.
--------------------------
If x = 10, then the old dimensions of 30 by 15 bump up to 30+10 = 40 by 15+10 = 25
Then note how 40*25 = 1000, which helps confirm we have the correct dimensions.
--------------------------
Now go back to the question at hand: we want to find the new width. The old width was 30 feet. The new width is 30+x = 30+10 = 40 feet
The correct answer is 17 what i did was plug in 17 where ever you see x so x2 would be 17x2 an then plus the 5 gives u 39 3x 17x3=51 51+10=61 now add the totals 61 plus 39 gives u 100
