We are given Polynomial p(x) = x^4 + 22x^2 – 16x – 12.

We need to find the potential roots of the function.

We know, potential roots are all the rational numbers in terms of p/q.

Where p are the factors of constant term and q are the factors of leading coefficient.

For the given polynomial x^4 + 22x^2 – 16x – 12, we have constant term -12 and leading coefficent is the coefficent of x^4, that is 1.

So, the factors of -12 would be ±1,±2,±3,±4,±6 and ±12.

And factors of 1 is just ±1.

Therefore, ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±6, ±12 would be it's potential roots.

<u>In the given options, we can see ±6 ±1 ±3 are potential roots of the function.</u>

Answer:

The potential roots of the function are ±6, ±1, ±3. The options 1, 2 and 3 are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

p(x)=x^2+22x^2-16x-12

According to the rational root theorem, all the possible roots of the function are in the form of

x=\pm \frac{\text{Factors of constant term}}{\text{Factors of leading coefficient}}

In the given function constant term is -12 and the leading coefficient is 1.

Factors of -12 are ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±6, ±12.

The factors of 1 are ±1.

By using rational root theorem, the potential roots of the function are ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±6, ±12.

Therefore the options 1, 2 and 3 are correct.

(-3,0),(5,-2) find the slope
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form: y - y = m (x - x)

5 - (-3) = m (-2 - 0)

5 + 3 = m (-2)

8 = m (-2)

m = 8/(-2)

m=4
