2x² + 5x -6x - 15 = 0
2x² - x - 15 = 0
2x² -x = 15
x = 3
3 x 3 = 9 x 2 = 18 - 3 = 15
i really don't know how i got 3 in the first place but that is your answer
hope this helps
Answer:
The polynomial will be P(x) = - 5 (x + 2)²(x - 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The degree of the polynomial P(x) is 3 and it has zeros at x = - 2 with multiplicity 2 and at x = 3 with multiplicity 1.
Therefore, (x + 2)² and (x - 3) are the factors of the equation.
Let the polynomial is
P(x) = a(x + 2)²(x - 3) ........... (1)
Now, the polynomial passes through the point (2,80).
So, from equation (1) we gat,
80 = a(4)²(-1)
⇒ a = - 5
Therefore, the polynomial will be P(x) = - 5 (x + 2)²(x - 3) (Answer)
The arc length will be given by:
C=Θ/360πd
where:
Θ=45
d=8*2=16 in
hence;
C=45/360*π*16
=6.3 inches
First calculate the total
8 bags x 3.5 cups=28 cups total
28 cups/ 12 hikers = 2.33
Each hiker will receive 2 and 1/3 cups of trail mix
