Answer:
(x-7) (x^2-5)
Step-by-step explanation:
x^3 -7x^2 -5x+35
Make 2 groups
x^3 -7x^2 -5x+35
Factor x^2 from the first group and -5 from the second group
x^2 (x-7) -5(x-7)
Now factor (x-7) out
(x-7) (x^2-5)
F(x) = (x² - 3x - 10)(x + 4) becomes (x - 5)(x + 2)(x + 4) when completely factored. Now set each binomial equal to zero.
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
x + 2 = 0
x = - 2
x + 4 = 0
x = - 4
Your zeros are at x = - 4, - 2, and 5. Or at (- 4, 0), (- 2, 0), and (5, 0).
The answer is 2 pounds because 60 times 20 1200 and 1200 divided by 300 is 4 and 1/2 times 4 is 2
