Answer:
I used the picture to answer the question and the answer was -4
X=1, and 3/8 it is a mixed number.
Answer:
The midpoint is (2.5,-6) or written as a fraction (
, -6)
Step-by-step explanation:

Since its telling you that x is the number of years and the question is "How much does the cost of milk increase EVERY YEAR" then you can conclude that the cost is increasing by 0.25 each year
Answer: x = {-4, -1, 2}
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
q p
F(x) = x³ + 3x² - 6x - 8

Possible rational roots are: +/- {1, 2, 4, 8}
F(1) = (1)³ + 3(1)² - 6(1) - 8
= 1 + 3 - 6 - 8
= -10 <em>Since the remainder is not 0, then x = 1 is not a root</em>
F(-1) = (-1)³ + 3(-1)² - 6(-1) - 8
= -1 + 3 + 6 - 8
= 0 <em>Since the remainder is 0, x = -1 is a root.</em>
Use synthetic division to find the remaining factor:
x = -1 → x + 1 = 0
-1 | 1 3 -6 -8
<u>| ↓ -1 -2 8 </u>
1 2 -8 0
(x + 1)(x² + 2x - 8) = 0
Next, factor the polynomial:
(x + 1)(x + 4)(x - 2) = 0
x + 1 = 0 x + 4 = 0 x - 2 = 0
x = -1 x = -4 x = 2
