Answer:

f(x) =  3(x + 2)(x - 1)(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

A logical first step would be to factor 3 out of all four terms:

f(x) = 3x^3+12x^2+3x-18 = 3(x^3 + 4x^2 + x - 6)

Roots of this x^3 + 4x^2 + x - 6 could be factors of 6:  {±1, ±2, ±3, ±6}.

I would use synthetic division here to determine which, if any, of these possibilities are actually roots of x^3 + 4x^2 + x - 6.  Let's try x = 1 and see whether the remainder of this synth. div. is 0, which would indicate that 1 is indeed a root of x^3 + 4x^2 + x - 6:

1    /    1    4    1    -6

                1    5    6

    ------------------------

          1     5    6    0

Yes, 1 is a root of x^3 + 4x^2 + x - 6, and so (x - 1) is a factor of x^3 + 4x^2 + x - 6.

Look at the coefficients of the quotient, which are   1, 5 and 6.

This represents the quadratic 1x² + 5x + 6, whose factors are (x + 2) and

(x + 3).

Thus, the given polynomial in factored form is:

f(x) = 3x^3+12x^2+3x-18 = 3(x + 2)(x - 1)(x + 3)

Estimate the value of √2
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

B. 0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

It claims to estimate. Square root of 2 would be somewhere around 1. Square root of 5 would be somewhere around 2. Then you divide, 1/2, and that should equal 0.50.

I hope this is correct!

5x-9y=17 solve for y
Tresset [83]

Answer: y=17-5x/-9

Step-by-step explanation: 5x-9y=17

-9y=17-5x

Y=17-5x/-9

You can’t go any further than that because you can’t combine unlike Terms on the right side of the equation.

Please help. I don't understand how to do this. I need this asap. please

Answer:

  r = 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, solve the equation for r:

  y = rx

  y/x = r . . . . . . . divide by x

__

Since r is a constant, it will be the same for any corresponding pairs of x and y. It is convenient to choose both x and y as integers, as in the third table entry.

  r = y/x = 5/45

  r = 1/9 . . . . . . . . . reduced fraction

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

It is not a bad idea to check to see that this works with other values of x and y. For the first line of the table, we have x = 11:

  y = rx = (1/9)(11) = 11/9 = 1 2/9 . . . . matches the table value
