What is the factored form of the polynomial?x2 − 12x + 27?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Rom4ik [11]3 years ago

Answer:

(x-9)(x-3) which is the same as (x-3)(x-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of ways to factor the last number 27. One way is 1*27 = 27. Another way is 3*9 = 27 and so on. Now think to yourself "which factor of 27 add to -12?". You'll need to consider negative factors. It turns out that

-3 plus -9 = -12

-3 times -9 = 27

Therefore the two values we care about are -9 and -3. So x^2-12+27 factors to (x-3)(x-9). The order of the factors does not matter. So we can write the answer as (x-9)(x-3) just fine.

Three officers -- president, treasurer, and secretary -- are to be chosen from among four people: Ann, Bob, Cyd, and Dan.
Kitty [74]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

First choose the president. From the 4 people, everyone can be the president except Dan, so there are 3 choices.

Then, choose the treasurer. Neither Bob nor Dan can be the treasurer so there are only 2 choices.

Now choose the secretary. Cyd is the only person who can't take this position, so there are 3 choices.

We are asked by the number of ways of choosing the 3 officers. Using the product rule, this is equal to 3×2×3=18.

Answer:

Suppose we have a polynomial of degree N with a leading coefficient A and roots {x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ}

We can write this polynomial as:

P(x) = A*(x - x₁)*(x - x₂)*...*(x - xₙ)

such that the terms:

(x - x₁), (x - x₂), etc...

are called the factors.

In this case, we know that the roots OF THE FACTORS

are:

(x = - 2)

(x = - (1 + √5))

(x = + 3i)

If the root of the polynomial is  x = -2, then the factor should be:

(x + 2)

which is zero when we evaluate x in -2

Then the correct option is the first one.
