ANSWER FOR BRAINLIEST!!!

If you know that -2 is a zero of f(x) = x^3 + 7x^2 + 4x - 12, explain how to solve the equation.

First you have to figure out what could make f(x) = 0 to get rid of the cube. I'm going to test the array of data, x = -2, x = -3, and x = -4 because this type of equation probably has more negative values given that if you plug in some values the cubed-values and squared-values will surpass the "-12". Plug this into a calculator.
x^3 + 7x^2 + 4x - 12
f(-2) = -8 + 28 - 8 - 12 = 0

So you know that when x = -2, f(x) = 0. Divide "(x + 2)" from the equation and you will get... x^2 + 5x - 6. Now this is a simple polynomial one that you can figure to be (x + 6) (x - 1) just by looking at it because -6 multiplied by 1 is negative 6 and you see 5 and know that 6 - 1 = 5.

The solution is (x + 6) (x - 1) (x + 2) meaning that when x = -6, 1, or -2, f(x) is 0.

What is the x-intercept of the equation -7x+3y=21
mezya [45]
Hello!!

Well, the x-intercept is found when y = 0, so plug in y = 0:

-7x + 3(0) = 21
-7x = 21
x = -3

Therefore, the x-intercept of -7x + 3y = 21 is -3.

Hope this helps!! Let me know if you have ANY questions.
