Answer:
81/16 = 5 1/16
Step-by-step explanation:
-4(square root of x) -3 = -12
Add 3 to both sides
-4(square root of x) = -12 +3 = -9
Divide both sides by -4
(square root of x) = -9/-4
-/- equals +
(square root of x) = 9/4
Square both sides to cancel the square root
x = (9/4)^2 = 81/16 = 5 1/16
Answer:
(x+1)(x-14)(x+3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step in factorising polynomials is to find the smallest factor first. The way to do this is with trial and error. Lets see if x+1 is a factor.
According to the factor theorem, (x-a) is a factor of P(x) if and only when P(a) = 0
In this case we will use f(x) = ((x)^3)-((10x)^2)-53x-42
f(-1) = 0
Therefore (x+1) is a factor of the polynomial.
Now we divide the polynomial with (x+1) via long division to get (x^2)-11x-42.
We now factorise (x^2)-11x-42 using whatever method you would like. I'm going to use the AC method, where we find a number that multiplies to AC and adds to B, In this case AC = -42, and B = -11.
Therefore (x^2)-11x-42 factosied is (x-14)(x+3)
Now merge (x+1) with (x-14)(x+3)
The final answer is (x+1)(x-14)(x+3)

The answer would have to be 3+2x
It pretty sure it would be X=25
