Answer:

2(x + 3)(x + 1)(x - 4)

or 2x^3 - 26x - 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the polynomial if factor form:

P(x) = a(x + 3)(x + 1)(x - 4)  where a is some constant.

Now, since f(-2) = 12  we can write :

12 = a(-2 + 3)(-2 + 1)(-2-4)

12 = 6a

a = 2.

So the polynomial is

2(x + 3)(x + 1)(x - 4).

Expanded that is

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

= 2(x^3 - 3x^2 - 4x + 3x^2 - 9x - 12)

= 2x^3 - 26x - 24.

Jack wants to fill a rectangular box with sand. The length of the sand box is 3 feet, width is 6 inches, and height is 2.4 inche
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
Jack would need to buy 2 bags of sand.
To find the answer you first have to find the volume of the rectangular box which can be found using the formula length times width times height (remember that the numbers have to have the same unit so it would look like 3 times .5 times .2 if you convert them all the feet). the volume of the box is equal to .3
Then you could set the volume of the box equal to .15x to find how many boxes he would need. The formula would be .15x=.3
Divide by .15 to get x alone and you get 2 for the answer.
