The idea is to use the zero product property in reverse to go from the roots to the factorization. Then you expand out the polynomial using the distributive property.

x = 5 or x = 7 or x = -8

x-5 = 0 or x-7 = 0 or x+8 = 0

(x-5)(x-7)(x+8) = 0

(x-5)(x^2+x-56) = 0

x(x^2+x-56) - 5(x^2+x-56) = 0

x^3+x^2-56x  -5x^2-5x+280 = 0

x^3-4x^2-61x+280 = 0

f(x) = x^3 - 4x^2 - 61x + 280

Answer:

The correct answer is option 4). x³- 4x² -61x + 280

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, a polynomial with roots 5,7 and -8

<u>To find the polynomial</u>

The roots are 5,7 and -8

Then the factors are, (x-5), (x-7) and (x+8)

p(x) = (x-5)(x-7)(x+8) = (x-5)(x² + 8x -7x + 56)

= (x-5)(x² + x - 56)

= x³ + x² - 56x -5x² - 5x + 280

= x³- 4x² -61x + 280

Therefore the polynomial is p(x) = x³- 4x² -61x + 280

The correct answer is option 4). x³- 4x² -61x + 280

What will be the new position of the given point after rotating 180 about the origin
leva [86]

Answer: a) First quadrant


Step-by-step explanation:

From the given picture, the position of the given point is in third quadrant.

Every point in third quadrant are in the form of (-a,-b), where a and b are any positive numbers [both x and y axis are negative there]

Also after rotation of 180° the point (x,y) will map to (-x,-y)

therefore, after rotation of 180° the point (-a,-b) will map to

(-(-a),-(-b))=(a,b), where a and b are any positive numbers

Thus, the coordinate of image point =(a,b)

Since both x and y coordinate of the image are positive therefore it must lie in the first quadrant.

Find the greatest common factor of 210, 84, and 56
mr Goodwill [35]
To get the Greates Common Factor (GCF) of 84 and 210 we need to factor each value first and then we choose all the copies of factors and multiply them: 

<span><span>84:   223 7</span><span>210:   2 357</span><span>GCF:   2 3 7</span></span>

<span>The Greates Common Factor (GCF) is:   2 x 3 x 7 = 42</span>

A 40 inch board is to be cut into three pieces so that the second price is 4times as long as the first piece and the third piece
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Let the first piece be x

Let the second piece 4x

Let the third piece = 5x

Total length = 40 inches.

Equation

x + 4x + 5x = 40                Combine

Solution

10x = 40                             Divide by 10

10x/10 = 40/10        

x = 4

Answer

The smallest piece (x) = 4

The middle piece 4x  = 4*4 = 16

The largest piece 5x= 5 * 4 = 20
