The trial and error method is used to find an initial factor:
If we let f(x) = x³ - x² - 24x - 36 and all we have to do is sub' in values of x until
f(x) = 0, we can use this to find an initial factor by the factor theorem:
f(1) = (1)³ - (1)² - 24(1) - 36 = -60
f(2) = (2)³ - (2)² - 24(2) - 36 = -80
f(5) = (5)³ - (5)² - 24(5) - 36 = -56
*** f(6) = (6)³ - (6)² - 24(6) - 36 = 0 ***
f(6) = 0 so (x - 6) is a factor of f(x).
This means that: f(x) = x³ - x² - 24x - 36 = (x - 6)(ax² + bx + c).
To find a,b and c, use long division (or inspection) to divide x³ - x² - 24x - 36 by x - 6.
The other 2 factors of f(x) can then be found by factorizing the
ax² + bx + c quadratic the way you would with any other quadratic (i.e. by quadratic formula, CTS or inspection).
Answer:
the answer is d!! I hope it helped please lmk if not
To solve for the homeowner's insurance payment for house built in Area B, we simply multiply the cost of the house with the insurance coverage rate in its decimal equivalent. From the given problem,
annual insurance payment = ($65,900)(0.0054)
= $355.86
Thus, the answer is letter A.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Freda's sum = x
Donnie has 3/4 x
He spends 63 dollars. His sum is now
3/4x - 63
Now the equation looks like this
6(3/4x - 63) = x Remove the brackets
6*3/4 x - 378 =x
6 * 3/4 = 4 1/2
4 1/2 x - 378 = x Add 378 to both sides
4 1/2 x = x + 378 Subtract x from both sides
3.5 x = 378 Divide by 3.5
x = 378 /3.5
x = 108
Since x = 108, that's how much Freda had. (She spent nothing).
