Answer:

Factor this polynomial:

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

Try to find the rational roots. If p/q is a root (p and q having no factors in common), then p must divide 4 and q must divide 1 (the coefficient of x^3).

The rational roots can thuis be +/1, +/2 and +/4. If you insert these values you find that the roots are at

x = 1, x = 2 and x = -2. This means that

x^3-x^2-4x+4 = A(x - 1)(x - 2)(x + 2)

A = 1, as you can see from equation the coefficient of x^3 on both sides.

Typo:

The rational roots can be

+/-1, +/-2 and +/-4

zalisa [80]

(7w^2-7w-8)-(5w^2+2w-3)= 7w^2-7w-8-5w^2-2w+3=7w^2-5w^2-7w-2w-8+3=2w^2-9w-5

At a party there are 4 large sandwiches all the same size 2/3 of the chicken sandwich were eaten 3/4 of the Turkey was eaten 7/1

IgorLugansk [536]

The roast beef because you find a common denominator of twelve so the chicken sandwich had 8/12 the turkey had 9/12 the roast beef had 7/12 and the tuna had 10/12
