What applies here is one of the laws of the factorization of polynomials, called the factor theorem and it states that:

For a polynomial f(x) , if for any value a,  f(a) =0  then (x-a) is factor of f(x)

Example:

Consider the polynomial

f(x) = x^{3} - 3x^{2} - 8x+4

For  a =3,

f(a) = (3)^{3} - 3(3)^{2} - 8(3)+24

= 27-27-24+24 = 0

f (3)= 0

which means (x-3) is a factor of f(x)

Applying the above rule to the question:

if (x + 3) is a factor of a polynomial f(x), then f(-3) = 0

note that (x+3) can also be written  as (x- (-3)).

Answer:

  • c = 100
  • (x +10)²

Step-by-step explanation:

The square of a binomial is ...

  (x +a)² = x² +2ax + a²

Comparing this to your expression, we have ...

  2a = 20 . . . . x-coefficient

  a² = c . . . . . . constant term

Then ...

  a = 20/2 = 10

  a² = 10² = 100 = c

The square is then ...

  (x +10)²

The line through (6,-6) with slope 1/2 in point-slope form ?
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer: y + 6 = \frac{1}{2}(x - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope formula:  y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Plug in the numbers: y - -6 = \frac{1}{2}(x-6)

Clear the double negatives: y + 6 = \frac{1}{2}(x - 6)

What is the function graphed below?<br> O y= x + 0.5<br> O y= 2 x + 0.5<br> O y=x<br> O y=(0.5)
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

  • A.  y= x + 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>We see that:</u>

  • y- intercept is b = 0.5, point (0, 0.5)
  • Rate of change is m = 1 as each next value of y is greater by 1.

<u>The function is:</u>

  • y = mx + b
  • y = x + 0.5

Correct choice is A
