2^3 is equivalent because if you count the number of twos there are in the parentheses its 3.
Answer:
5. A.
6. F
Step-by-step explanation:
5. Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another, so slope is 3
y = 3x + b
using coordinates (-6,3)
3 = 3(-6) + b
b = 21
y = 3x + 21
6. I think F is the right answer
Answer:
x=-3 x=-1 x=2 x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
p(x) = (x^2 + 4x + 3)(x^2 – 4)
Set this equal to zero to find the x intercepts
0 = (x^2 + 4x + 3)(x^2 – 4)
Using the zero product property
(x^2 + 4x + 3) =0 (x^2 – 4) =0
Factor
(x+3)(x+1) =0 (x-2) (x+2)=0
Using the zero product property
x+3 =0 x+1 =0 x-2 =0 x+2 =0
x=-3 x=-1 x=2 x=-2
