See in the explanation

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Hello! Recall that you need to write complete questions in order to get good and precise answers. However, I'll try to explain this problem in a general way. The definition of polynomial functions states:

A \ \mathbf{polynomial \ function} \ of \ x \ with \ degree \ n \ is \ given \ by:\\ \\ f(x)=a_{n}x^{n}+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\ldots +a_{2}x^{2}+a_{1}x+a_{0} \\ \\ where \ n \ is \ a \ nonnegative \ integer \ and \ a_{n}, a_{n-1}, \ldots a_{2}, a_{1}, a_{0} \\ with \ a_{n}\neq 0

Suppose we have the following polynomial function:

f(x)=x^3+x^2-8x-12

If (x-3) is a factor of this polynomial function, we can write f(x) as:

f(x)=\left(ax^2+bx+c\right)\left(x-3\right)

In whose case:

f(3)=0

Evaluating x=3

f(x)=x^3+x^2-8x-12 \\ \\ f(3)=3^3+3^2-8(3)-12 \\ \\ f(3)=27+9-24-12 \\ \\ f(3)=32-32 \\ \\ f(3)=0

So in conclusion:

(x-3) \ is \ a \ factor \ of \ f(x)=x^3+x^2-8x-12

The graph is shown below and is consistent with our conclusion.

Lowest common multiple of 12,18,56
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

12 = 2 × 2 × 3

18 = 2 × 3 × 3

56 = 2 ×2 × 2 × 7

Now

Common factor = 2

Remaining factor = 2 × 3 × 2 × 3 × 7

LCM = RF × CF

= 504

hence the lCM of 12 , 18 and 56 is 504...
