Answer:

f(x) = x^4 - x^3 - 7x^2 + x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Please, always share the instructions with every question you post.  I am assuming that you are to write out the factors corresponding to the given roots, thus constructing a 4th degree polynomial, and then performng the multiplication necesssary to produce that polynomial with terms in descending order by power of x.  Note that there must be 5 such terms.

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

Multiplying this out, we get:  

f(x) = (x + 2)(x^2 - 1)(x - 3), or

f(x) =      (x^3 - x + 2x^2 - 2)(x - 3), or:

f(x) = (x^3 + 2x^2 - x - 2)(x - 3), or:

f(x) = x^4 + 2x^3 - x^2 - 2x - 3x^3 - 6x^2 + 3x + 6

Combining like terms, we get:

f(x) = x^4 - x^3 - 7x^2 + x + 6

Note that because this is a 4th degree polynomial, the end behavior resembles that of the graph of y = x^4.  As x increases, y initially decreases in Quadrant II, passes through the y-intercept (0, 6), and then increases without bound in Quadrant I.

William has 24 cans of fruit and 60 cans of vegetables that he will be putting into bags for a food drive. He wants each bag to
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

William has 24 cans of fruit and 60 cans of vegetables that he will be putting into bags for a food drive.

Factor number 24 and 60:

24=2\cdot 12=2\cdot 2\cdot 6=2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 3=2^3\cdot 3\\ \\60=2\cdot 30=2\cdot 2\cdot 15=2\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 5=2^2\cdot 3\cdot 5

Find the greatest common factor

GCF(24,60)=2^2\cdot 3=12

Hence, the greatest number of bags William can make is 12.

Each of these bags will have 24\div 12=2 cans of fruit and 60\div 12=5 cans of vegetables.

If he made fewer bags, 6 bags, each of these bags will have 24\div 6=4 cans of fruit and 60\div 6=10 cans of vegetables.

If he made fewer bags, 4 bags, each of these bags will have 24\div 4=6 cans of fruit and 60\div 4=15 cans of vegetables.

If he made fewer bags, 3 bags, each of these bags will have 24\div 3=8 cans of fruit and 60\div 3=20 cans of vegetables.

If he made fewer bags, 2 bags, each of these bags will have 24\div 2=12 cans of fruit and 60\div 2=30 cans of vegetables.
