Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find it out by factoring but ill do it easier way.

(x + 1 ) = 0 put the first and second equation to 0

x = -1

x³ + 2x² - 5x - 6 = 0  Now plug in the x in the equation

(-1)³ + 2(-1)² - 5(-1) - 6 = 0

0 = 0

so (x + 1) is a factor.

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

If x + 1 is a factor

x = -1 should be a root

Check for the remainder:

(-1)³ + 2(-1)² −5(-1) − 6

0

Therefore it's a root, hence x+1 is a factor

to get to a dog show, mr luna first drives 7 miles west from his home and then 3 miles north. next he turns east and drives 11 m
Doss [256]

Answer:

7 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Luna's travels east and west are irrelevant to the question. He drives 3 miles north, then he drives 4 more miles north. 3 + 4 = 7, so Mr. Luna ends up 7 miles north of his home.

Use the work shown to find the solutions of the quadratic equation. x2 – x –3/4=0 x2 – x = 3/4
bija089 [108]

Answer:

x = - \frac{1}{2}, x = \frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - x - \frac{3}{4} = 0

Multiply through by 4 to clear the fraction

4x² - 4x - 3 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 4 × - 3 = - 12 and sum = - 4

The factors are + 2 and - 6

Use these factors to split the x- term

4x² + 2x - 6x - 3 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(2x + 1) - 3(2x + 1) = 0 ← factor out (2x + 1) from each term

(2x + 1)(2x - 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x + 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 1 ⇒ x = - \frac{1}{2}

2x - 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 3 ⇒ x = \frac{3}{2}
