Answer:

Slope = -3/4

y-intercept = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x+4y = 8\\\therefore 4y = -3x +8\\\therefore y = \frac{-3}{4}x+ \frac{8}{4}\\\therefore y = \frac{-3}{4}x+2\\Equating \: it \: with\: \\y=mx+b\\Slope\:(m) = \frac{-3}{4}\\y-intercept\:(b) = 2$

What is the completely factored form of f(x)=x^3-7x^2+2x+4

xxMikexx [17]

$Solution, \mathrm{Factor}\:x^3-7x^2+2x+4:\quad \left(x-1\right)\left(x^2-6x-4\right)$

$Steps:$

$x^3-7x^2+2x+4$

$Use\:the\:rational\:root\:theorem,\\a_0=4,\:\quad a_n=1,\\\mathrm{The\:dividers\:of\:}a_0:\quad 1,\:2,\:4,\:\quad \mathrm{The\:dividers\:of\:}a_n:\quad 1,\\\mathrm{Therefore,\:check\:the\:following\:rational\:numbers:\quad }\pm \frac{1,\:2,\:4}{1},\\\frac{1}{1}\mathrm{\:is\:a\:root\:of\:the\:expression,\:so\:factor\:out\:}x-1,\\\left(x-1\right)\frac{x^3-7x^2+2x+4}{x-1}$

$\frac{x^3-7x^2+2x+4}{x-1}$

$\mathrm{Divide}\:\frac{x^3-7x^2+2x+4}{x-1},\\\mathrm{Divide\:the\:leading\:coefficients\:of\:the\:numerator\:}x^3-7x^2+2x+4\mathrm{\:and\:the\:divisor\:}x-1\mathrm{\::\:}\frac{x^3}{x},\\\mathrm{Quotient}=x^2,\\\mathrm{Multiply\:}x-1\mathrm{\:by\:}x^2:\:x^3-x^2,\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}x^3-x^2\mathrm{\:from\:}x^3-7x^2+2x+4\mathrm{\:to\:get\:new\:remainder},\\\mathrm{Remainder}=-6x^2+2x+4,\\Therefore,\\\frac{x^3-7x^2+2x+4}{x-1}=x^2+\frac{-6x^2+2x+4}{x-1}$

$\mathrm{Divide}\:\frac{-6x^2+2x+4}{x-1},\\\mathrm{Divide\:the\:leading\:coefficients\:of\:the\:numerator\:}-6x^2+2x+4\mathrm{\:and\:the\:divisor\:}x-1\mathrm{\::\:}\frac{-6x^2}{x}=-6x,\\\mathrm{Quotient}=-6x,\\\mathrm{Multiply\:}x-1\mathrm{\:by\:}-6x:\:-6x^2+6x,\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}-6x^2+6x\mathrm{\:from\:}-6x^2+2x+4\mathrm{\:to\:get\:new\:remainder},\\\mathrm{Remainder}=-4x+4,\\\mathrm{Therefore},\\\frac{-6x^2+2x+4}{x-1}=-6x+\frac{-4x+4}{x-1}$

$\mathrm{Divide}\:\frac{-4x+4}{x-1},\\\mathrm{Divide\:the\:leading\:coefficients\:of\:the\:numerator\:}-4x+4\mathrm{\:and\:the\:divisor\:}x-1\mathrm{\::\:}\frac{-4x}{x}=-4,\\\mathrm{Quotient}=-4,\\\mathrm{Multiply\:}x-1\mathrm{\:by\:}-4:\:-4x+4,\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}-4x+4\mathrm{\:from\:}-4x+4\mathrm{\:to\:get\:new\:remainder},\\\mathrm{Remainder}=0,\\\mathrm{Therefore},\\\frac{-4x+4}{x-1}=-4$

$\mathrm{The\:Correct\:Answer\:is\:\left(x-1\right)\left(x^2-6x-4\right)}$

$\mathrm{Hope\:This\:Helps!!!}$
