Answer: {(x + 2), (x - 1), (x - 3)}
Step-by-step explanation:
Presented symbolically, we have:
x^3 - 2x^2 - 5x + 6
Synthetic division is very useful for determining roots of polynomials. Once we have roots, we can easily write the corresponding factors.
Write out possible factors of 6: {±1, ±2, ±3, ±6}
Let's determine whether or not -2 is a root. Set up synthetic division as follows:
-2 / 1 -2 -5 6
-2 8 -6
-----------------------
1 -4 3 0
since the remainder is zero, we know for sure that -2 is a root and (x + 2) is a factor of the given polynomial. The coefficients of the product of the remaining two factors are {1, -4, 3}. This trinomial factors easily into {(x -1), (x - 3)}.
Thus, the three factors of the given polynomial are {(x + 2), (x - 1), (x - 3)}
The given expression is:
So, there are two terms in the expression
1)
2) -5
The constant term is -5.
The co-efficient of
is 4.
First we need to isolate the variable so we add 15 to both sides which is
w/4=43 then we need to multiply by 4 to both sides so its 4w=172
then divide by 4 which is 43 so the answer is w=43
Linear because x moves up by 3 and y moves up by 7
