Answer:

  p(x) = (2x -3)(x+3)(x +1)

Step-by-step explanation:

p(-3) = 0 tells you that (x+3) is a factor.

p(-1) = 0 tells you that (x+1) is a factor.

The remaining factor can be (ax +b), so the function is ...

  p(x) = (ax +b)(x +3)(x +1)

Matching leading coefficients, we have ...

  ax³ = 2x³   ⇒   a = 2

Matching constant terms, we have ...

  b(3)(1) = -9    ⇒   b = -3

So, our factorization is ...

  p(x) = (2x -3)(x +3)(x +1)

_____

<em>Check</em>

We can see if our factored form matches the other two data points given.

  p(-4) = (-11)(-1)(-3) = -33 . . . . tells us the vertical scaling is correct

  p(-2) = (-7)(1)(-1) = 7 . . . . . . . additional check passes

__

The graph shows the original function (red) and the factored function (blue dots). They are identical.

Tristán wants to build a square garden in his backyard if the garden is going to be 64 ft2 how many feet of material will he nee
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Tristan will need 32 feet of material for the perimeter of the garden.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Area of square garden = A = 64 square feet

Perimeter = P = ?

We know that for calculation of perimeter, length of side of square is required which is not directly given in the question. The area will be used to calculate length of side and then length will be used to calculate the perimeter.

So,

Area = A = s^2

s is for side

Putting the value of area

64 = a^2

Taking square root on both sides

\sqrt{s^2} = \sqrt{64}\\s = 8\ feet

The length of side is 8 feet.

Perimeter will be:

P = 4*s\\P = 4*8\\P = 32\ feet

Hence,

Tristan will need 32 feet of material for the perimeter of the garden.

Place the correct coefficients<br> x²y³ +<br> in the difference.<br> xy² +<br> y
antiseptic1488 [7]

The difference between the two polynomials is 11x²3y³ - 4xy².

<h3>What is the Difference between the Polynomials?</h3>

The difference between two polynomials is the result you get by subtracting one from the other.

Thus:

= (4x²2y³ + 2xy² – 2y) – (–7x²y³ + 6xy² – 2y)

= 4x²2y³ + 2xy² – 2y + 7x²y³ - 6xy² + 2y

= 11x²3y³ - 4xy²

Chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies are randomly chosen from a cookie jar and placed onto a plate. The first plate had four
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

3 peanut cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Plate 1:

Number of chocolate chip = 4

Number of peanut butter cookies = 1

Probability of drawing chocolate chip cookies from plate 1 :

Probability =( number of required outcome / Total possible outcomes)

P(chocolate chip) = 4 / 5

Plate 2:

Number of chocolate chip = 2

Number of peanut butter cookies = p

P(chocolate chip) = 2 / (2 + p)

Probability of drawing chocolate chip from plate 1 and then plate 2 = 8/ 25

(4/5) * 2/(2+p) = 8/ 25

8 / (10 + 5p) = 8/ 25

8(10 + 5p) = 8 * 25

80 + 40p = 200

40p = 200 - 80

40p = 120

p = 3

52 &lt; x + 24? how do i work this?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer: 28

Step-by-step explanation:

52

Begin by isolating x. To do this, you can substract 24 on both sides.

-24+52

28

That's your answer. Any value of ''x'' must be greater than 28 for this inequality to be true.
