Answer:
x = -3 and x = -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
After writing down the polynomial, split it; put a line between 3x^2 and -18x. Look and 2x^3 + 3x^2 and -18x - 27 separately and factor them both:
p(x) = 2x^3 + 3x^2 <u>- 18x -27</u>
p(x) = x^2(2x+3) <u>-9(2x+3)</u>
Now notice how x^2 and -9 have the same factor (2x+3). That means x^2 and -9 can go together:
p(x) = (x^2 - 9)(2x+3)
Factor it once more because there's a difference of squares:
p(x) = (x+3)(x-3)(2x+3)
Now just plug in whatever makes the each bracket equal 0:
x = -3, x = 3, and x = -3/2
Those are your zeros.
Answer: c divided by 3=15.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
b^2-c^2-10b+10c
Step-by-step explanation:
b^2-c^2-10(b-c)
b^2-c^2-10b+10c
Our data looks like:
3,3,4,4,5,5,5,6,7,8
The median, true to its name is the middle number of the set of data.
The median in this case in in between 5 and 5. Average it out (5+5)/2 = 5.
Your answer should be 5. Hope this helps!
