First you graph it using a graphing calculator, you look at the table of values to find out one point in which y= 0. The first one that comes up is when x=1.
If you don't have a graphing calculator you can use trial and error by inputing some numbers into x until you get y= 0. 

Once you have an x value which makes y=0, you can start factorizing it. 
you divide 6x3 +4x2 -6x - 4 into (x-1) which is when y =0 
to get 6x2+10x+4 

This can be used to write the polynomial as (x-1)(6x2 +10x+4) 
you then factorize the second bracket, 6x2 +10x+4.
you can take the 2 outside to give you 2(3x2 +5x+2) 
you can factorize this to become 2(3x+2)(x+1) 

Now you just substitute your factorized second bracket into your unfactorized second bracket to give you 2(3x+2)(x+1)(x-1).

From this you can deduce that k= 1

I need to help my child do division but I don't know how to do it myself
Sedaia [141]
Well this is a hard question to answer, but this is how i would put it.

 You would take a number (lets use 15) and the second number (lets use 5) would determine how many times it would go into 15. In other words, 5 time x would equal 15 (5x=15). 5, being a factor of 15, would evenly fit into 15 three times.

66 athletes are running a race. A gold medal is to be given to the winner, a silver medal is to be
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

274560

Step-by-step explanation:

We can "choose" one of the 66 athletes for the gold medal. That athlete can't win any other medals, so there are 65 athletes left.

We can then "choose" one of the 65 athletes left for the silver medal. That athlete can't win any other medals, so there are 64 athletes left.

We can then "choose" one of the 64 athletes left for the bronze medal.

That leaves us with 66 possible choices * 65 possible choices * 64 possible choices=274560 possible choices
