False beacause 2/3 is bigger than 11/12. Think about it like pizza 2/3 pieces is better cuz there bigger & 11/12 are smaller pieces.
Answer:
The factors of given polynomial x =-1 , -2 and x =3
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Step(i):</em></u>-
Given the polynomial
f(x) = x³ - 7x -6
put x =-1
f(-1) = (-1 )³- 7(-1) - 6 = -1+7-6=0
(x+1) is a one factor
By using synthetic division
x³ x² x constant
x=-1 ↓ 1 0 -7 -6
<u>↓ 0 -1 1 6</u>
<u> 1 -1 -6 0 </u>
<u />
<em>The polynomial x² - x - 6 </em>
<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>
The factors ( x+1)(x² - x - 6 ) = 0
x = -1 and x² - x - 6 =0
x =-1 and x² - 3x + 2 x - 6 =0
x =-1 and x (x -3) + 2( x-3) =0
x =-1 and (x+2)(x-3) =0
<u><em>Final answer:-</em></u>
The factors of given polynomial x =-1 , -2 and x =3
-3(6x+5)-2(1-17x)=3(5+5x)
Mutiply the first bracket by -3
(-3)(6x)= -18x
(-3)(5)= -15
Mutiply the second bracket by -2
(-2)(1)= -2
(-2)(-17x)= 34x
Mutiply the third bracket by 3
(3)(5)= 15
(3)(5x)= 15x
-18x-15-2+34x= 15+15x
-18x+34x-15-2= 15+15x
16x-17= 15+15x
move 15 to the other side
sign changes from +15 to -15
16x-17-15= 15-15+15x
16x-32= 15x
move -32 to the other side
sign changes from -32 to +32
16x-32+32=15x+32
16x= 15x+32
move 15x to the other side
sign changes from +15x to -15x
16x-15x=15x-15x+32
x= 32
Answer: x= 32
