Answer:

c. x - 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is f(x) = 3x^4 - 5x^3 - 71 x^2 + 157x + 60

To test if the given equations are factors of the polynomial, check if the remainder is equal to zero if substituted into the equation.

For x - 3, x = 3

Substituting x = 3 into the given polynomial:

f(3) = 3(3)^4 - 5(3)^3 - 71 (3)^2 + 157(3) + 60\\f(3) = 0

x - 3 is a factor

For x - 4, x = 4

Substituting x = 4 into the given polynomial:

f(4) = 3(4)^4 - 5(4)^3 - 71 (4)^2 + 157(4) + 60\\f(4) = 0

x - 4 is a factor

For x - 2/3, x = 2/3

Substituting x = 2/3 into the given polynomial:

f(2/3) = 3(2/3)^4 - 5(2/3)^3 - 71 (2/3)^2 + 157(2/3) + 60\\f(2/3) = 132.22

x - 2/3 is  not a factor

For x + 1/3, x = -1/3

Substituting x = -1/3 into the given polynomial:

f(-1/3) = 3(-1/3)^4 - 5(-1/3)^3 - 71 (-1/3)^2 + 157(-1/3) + 60\\f(-1/3) = 0

x + 1/3 is  a factor

If 2p + p = 20 then what is 2p - 5 =
Wewaii [24]
Ok first we have to find out whats 2p+p=20 combine like terms to get 3p=20 the divide 3 on each side to get p=6 2/3 then we plug in 6 2/3 to 2p-5 so 2(6 2/3) -5 so its 12.666-5 to get 7.666 so that's the answer.
