The answer is letter c. x2-8x+24-[72/(x+3)]. If you do not know how to solve this using the long division method, you can always evaluate the options through the process of elimination first. Since the degree of the other factor is already 1 (x to the power of 1), you know that option d. is not the correct answer because you know that the other factor must be raised to the power of 2. That leaves us with a, b and c. Working backwards and multiplying the given factor (x+3) with the factor in b, gives us x3-5x2+72. So from there, you know that you have to eliminate 72, which can be removed when it is subtracted by itself. Letter c does just that. Try multiplying (x+3) and option c for yourself :).

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial : x³ - 5x²

Factors of given polynomial = x + 3

Let, p(x) = x³ - 5x²

To get other factor of p(x), we divide p(x) by given factor.

On division we get,

Quotient = x² - 8x + 24

Remainder = -72

So another factor is $x^2-8x+24-\frac{72}{x+3}$

Therefore, Option C is correct.

How do you write (243)^ 3/5 in radical form? THEN simplified?! *PLEASE HELP

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have an exponent that is a fraction, you need to make a radical with the index from the denominator and an exponent of the radicand from the numerator.

(243)^3/5=( $\sqrt[5]{243}^3$ )

This would come out as $\sqrt[5]{14348907^}$ . this further simplifies down to the final answer of 27

the graph of h is the graph of f(x)=x^2 translated 4 units left and 7 units down. Write the function H in vertex form.

adoni [48]

Answer:

f(x)=a(x - h)2 + k

Much like a linear function, k works like b in the slope-intercept formula. Like where add or subtract b would determine where the line crosses, in the linear, k determines the vertex of the parabola. If you're going to go up 2, then you need to add 2.

The h determines the movement horizontally. what you put in h determines if it moves left or right. To adjust this, you need to find the number to make the parentheses equal 0 when x equals -2 (because moving the vertex point to the left means subtraction/negatives):

x - h = 0

-2 - h = 0

-h = 2

h = -2

So the function ends up looking like:

f(x)=a(x - (-2))2 + 2

Subtracting a negative cancels the signs out to make a positive:

f(x)=a(x + 2)2 + 2
