we are given with

The polynomial x squared plus 2x minus 24

$\\\x^2+2x-24\\\\\=x^2+6x-4x-24\\\\\=x(x+6)-4(x+6)\\\\\=(x-4)(x+6)\\$

Hence the required combination is 6x and -4x

Which of the following is not an equation of a simple, even polynomial function? y = | x | y = x2 y = x3 y = -x2

den301095 [7]

Answer:

y = | x |
y = x^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value function prevents the expression from being a polynomial. The degree of 3 in y^3 is an odd number so that polynomial function will not be even.
