The <u>integer roots</u> of the <u>polynomial function</u> f(x)=x^3-5x^2-2x+24 can be only among the<u> divisors</u> of <u>free term</u>.

The divisors of free term are:

\pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 3,  \pm 4, \pm 6, \pm 8, \pm 12, \pm 24.

Check them:

1. f(1)=1^3-5\cdot 1^2-2\cdot 1+24=18\neq 0, 1 is not a root.

2. f(-1)=(-1)^3-5\cdot (-1)^2-2\cdot (-1)+24=20\neq 0, -1 is not a root.

3. f(2)=2^3-5\cdot 2^2-2\cdot 2+24=8\neq 0, 2 is not a root.

4. f(-2)=(-2)^3-5\cdot (-2)^2-2\cdot (-2)+24=0, -2 is a root.

5. f(3)=3^3-5\cdot 3^2-2\cdot 3+24=0, 3 is  a root.

6.  f(-3)=(-3)^3-5\cdot (-3)^2-2\cdot (-3)+24=-42\neq 0, -3 is not a root.

7. f(4)=4^3-5\cdot 4^2-2\cdot 4+24=0, 4 is  a root.

The cubic function has at most 3 roots, then

Answer: roots of the function are -2, 3 and 4.

Answer:

It would be the last choice. Base= 8 in; height= 3 in

Step-by-step explanation:

It gives you the measurement for the height you just have to read what the ruler says at the bottom. When does the shape stop on the ruler? That number would be the answer in this case it would be the last choice.
