Answer:the binomial that is not a factor is x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The given polynomial is expressed as
P(x) = 3x^3 + 5x^2 - 4x - 4
The first step is to equate the polynomial to zero. It becomes
P(x) = 3x^3 + 5x^2 - 4x - 4 = 0
We would substitute each value of x into the polynomial. If the result is zero, then it is a factor.
1) x - 4 = 0, x = 4
Therefore,
3×4^3 + 5 × 4^2 - 4 × 4 - 4 = 0
384 + 80 - 16 - 4 = 444
2) x + 2 = 0, x = - 2
Therefore,
3 × -2^3 + 5 × -2^2 - 4 × -2 - 4 = 0
- 24 + 20 + 8 - 4 = 0
3) x = 1
Therefore,
3 × 1^3 + 5 × 1^2 - 4 × 1 - 4 = 0
4) 3x + 2 = 0
3x = - 2
x = - 2/3
Therefore
3 × (-2/3)^3 + 5 × (-2/3)^2 - 4 × (-2/3) - 4 = 0
Answer:
x=4 or x=-5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
3/5*2/3=6/15=2/5
The solution is where the two lines meet. From the the graph, it looks like
(1, -1)
