The x-axis intercepts are the roots of the polynomial. So, the roots are x = - 2, x = - 1 and x = 3.
Therefore, the polynomial can be factored as:
(x - (-2)) * ( x - (-1) ) * (x - 3) = (x + 2)(x + 1)(x - 3).
Answer: (x + 2) (x + 1) (x - 3)
Answer:

length remaining= 100m- 99m= 1m
Answer:
(4,11/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
5x-2y=9
12x-8y=4
A quick look will tell us that neither the x- nor the y- coefficient is the same in both equations, so combining the two by addition or subtraction. We can see that 2 is a multiple of 8, since 2 x 4 = 8. We should multiply the first equation by 4.
4(5x-2y=9)
Now we need to decide if we should add or subtract the equations.
20x-8y=36
12x-8y=4
Since we need to have a -8 and a +8 to eliminate the variables, we should subtract them. Change all the signs of the second equation and combine.
20x-8y=36
-12x-8y=4
----------------
8x=32
Divide both sides by 8 to get the x-value:

x=4
Now that we have our x-value, we need to plug in the y-value.
5x-2y=9
5(4)-2y=9
20-2y=9
-2y=-11
y=11/2
So our solution is (4,11/2)
Let's check our work.
5x-2y=9
5(4)-2(11/2)=9
20-22/2=9
20-11=9
9=9
12x-8y=4
12(4)-8(11/2)=4
48-88/2=4
48-44=4
4=4
Our solution is correct.
