I think it would be the second graph
<span>I note that this problem starts out with "Which is a factor of ... " This implies that you were given several answer choices. If that's the case, it's unfortunate that you haven't shared them.
I thought I'd try finding roots of this function using synthetic division. See below:
f(x) = 6x^4 – 21x^3 – 4x^2 + 24x – 35
Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation. Thanks.
Possible zeros of this poly are factors of 35: plus or minus 1, plus or minus 5, plus or minus 7. Use synthetic division; determine whether or not there is a non-zero remainder in each case. If none of these work, form rational divisors from 35 and 6 and try them: 5/6, 7/6, 1/6, etc.
Provided that you have copied down the function
</span>f(x) = 6x^4 – 21x^3 – 4x^2 + 24x – 35 properly, this approach will eventually turn up 1 or 2 zeros of this poly. Obviously it'd be much easier if you'd check out the possible answers given you with this problem.
By graphing this function, I found that the graph crosses the x-axis at 7/2. There is another root.
Using synth. div. to check whether or not 7/2 is a root:
___________________________
7/2 / 6 -21 -4 24 -35
21 0 -14 35
----------- ------------------------------
6 0 -4 10 0
Because the remainder is zero, 7/2 (or 3.5) is a root of the polynomial. Thus, (x-3.5), or (x-7/2), is a factor.
Answer: Pink choice: y= -6x -2
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to be parallel, the slope must be the same. You find the slope as the number or fraction connected to x. <em>("co-efficient" of x in math talk)</em>
In the given equation, that is -6. (So that knocks out the first two choices)
The other thing to look at is the y-value of the given coordinate,(-1,4)
<em>(The y-value is the second number in the coordinate (x.y) is the pattern)</em>
and compare it to the the last number in the equations in the choices and Here the Yellow choice has y= -6x + 4 so this line can't pass through the coordinate given, because +4 in this equation is where the line crosses the y-axis. ("y-intercept" in math talk) So yellow choice is out!
The attachment shows what the graphs of the choices look like.
The black line is the correct answer. The given coordinate (-1,4) is the labeled red spot. The blue line is the given equation. (You can see where it "intercepts the y-axis on the +3) And the green line also has the -6 slope, but misses the point and intercepts the y-axis at 4.)
I hope the diagram and explanation helps you understand better. It can be confusing.
Answer:
A) y = (x + 3)² + 4
B) y = (x - 3)² + 2
C) y = (x - 1)² - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
2 units UP means that the vertex will be shifted from (-3 , 2) to (-3, (2 + 2) or (-3, 4)
As the y = (x + 3)² will still be zero at x = -3, we just need to change the "+ 2" to
"+ 4" to shift the curve upward by 2
y = (x + 3)² + 4
When we want to shift the curve to the right, we want the vertex to move from (-3, 2) to (3, 2)
This means that the term in parenthesis must be zero with our desired x value
(3 + C)² = 0
3 + C = 0
C = -3
y = (x - 3)² + 2
4 units right and 7 units down mean that the vertex is desired at (1, -5)
(1 + C)² = 0
C = -1
y = (x - 1)² - 5
