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)

A sphere has diameter 28 cm. If the diameter is divided by 2, what is the effect on the surface area?
spayn [35]

Answer:

The surface area is divided by 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of a sphere is 4πr².

When the diameter is 28 the radius is 14. So: 4π(14)² = 784π

If you cut the diameter in half you get 14. The radius is now 7.

4π(7)² = 196π.

784/4 = 196 so divided by 4.

Which graph shows the solution to the system of linear inequalities?
V125BC [204]
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

Which ordered pairs are in the solution set of the system of linear inequalities?

y > Negative one-halfx

y < One-halfx + 1

On a coordinate plane, 2 straight lines are shown. The first solid line has a negative slope and goes through (0, 0) and (4, negative 2). Everything above the line is shaded. The second dashed line has a positive slope and goes through (negative 2, 0) and (2, 2). Everything below the line is shaded.

(5, –2), (3, 1), (–4, 2)

(5, –2), (3, –1), (4, –3)

<h2><u>(5, –2), (3, 1), (4, 2)</u></h2>

(5, –2), (–3, 1), (4, 2)

D: -12

Step-by-step explanation:

They are asking you to multiply the equations:

(3x^2 + 2x - 3)(2x + 4)

Distribute and you should get:

6x^3 + 16x^2 + 2x - 12

The Coefficients A,B,C, and D are 6, 16, 2, and -12.

Find the smallest positive integer solution to the following system of congruences: x = 0 (mod 5) x = 8 (mod 11) The solution is
igomit [66]

Answer:

The smallest positive integer solution to the given system of congruences is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of congruences is

x=0(mod5)

x=8(mod11)

where, m and n are positive integers.

It means, if the number divided by 5, then remainder is 0 and if the same number is divided by 11, then the remainder is 8. It can be defined as

x=5m

x=11n+8

5m\cong 11n+8

Now, we can say that m>n because m and n are positive integers.

For n=1,

5m=11(1)+8=19

5m=19

19 is not divisible by 5 so m is not an integer for n=1.

For n=2,

5m=11(2)+8

5m=30

m=6

The value of m is 6 and the value of n is 2. So the smallest positive integer solution to the given system of congruences is

x=5(6)=30

Therefore the smallest positive integer solution to the given system of congruences is 30.
