<span>A polynomial with the given zeros can be represented as
f(x) = (x-1)(x-2)(x+2)(x+3).
Note that if you set f(x) = 0, then 1,2,-2, and -3 certainly are the solutions. From here, we simply multiply/expand out the polynomial. We can do this in a variety of ways, one of which is taking the left two and right two products separately. We have
(x-1)(x-2) = x^2 - 3x + 2
and
(x+2)(x+3) = x^2 + 5x + 6.
This gives that
f(x) = (x^2 - 3x + 2) (x^2 + 5x + 6).
Expanding this expression out then gives us our answer as
f(x) = x^4 + 2x^3 - 7x^2 - 8x + 12

Answer:
3.2 km * 1 / 1.609 mi / km * 5280 ft / mi = 10,501 ft
Check: 3280.84 ft / km * 3.2 km = 10,499 ft
You have a 4.9 percent chance of testing positive. Hope this helped!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
"When 200 gallons of oil were removed from a tank" algebraically looks like this:
V - 200.
"...the volume of oil left in the tank was 3/7 of the tank's capacity" algebraically looks like this:
3/7(V)
Therefore, the equation is
V - 200 = 3/7(V)
Begin by multiplying both sides by 7:
7(V - 200) = 3V and
7V - 1400 = 3V so
-1400 = -4V so
V = 350 gallons
That's if the volume of the oil in the tank was 3/7 of the tank's capacity.
For the other part of the problem, we set up the equation almost the same, except the 3/7 is a 1/2:
V - 200 = 1/2(V)
Multiplying both sides by 2 gives you
2(V - 200) = V and
2V - 400 = V so
-400 = -V so
V = 400
Plug them in... -4=x -5=y
-3x-4+-6=6 (check)
-3x-4=12-6=6 (ordered pair works with this equation)
-2x-4+-6=-8 (check)
-2x-4=8-6=2 (ordered pair does not work with this equation)
Therefore the ordered pair IS NOT the solution.
Hope this helps :)
