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.

Mr. Khans is buying staplers for his office. Each stapler costs $16.99. Write A Function to Represent this situation.
Ksenya-84 [330]
Since each stapler costs 16.99, the total cost is 16.99*x, with x representing the number of staplers bought. This works due to that he adds 16.99 for every stapler, and multiplying it adds 16.99 each time he buys a new stapler

Kim drives 156 miles from rotherham to London.She has an average speed of 60 miles per hour.
kicyunya [14]
Currently, you would ask "How long does it take to get from Rotherham to London?" You would do 156/60, which would be 2.6 hours. 2.6 hours is 156 minutes (2 hours, 36 minutes).
9:36 is when Kim would reach London, so yes.

What is the domain of g(x) = sqrt x +1
Shkiper50 [21]
There can be no negative in a sqrt 
so x+1 must be equal or greater then 0
x+1\geq 0
x \geq -1
so all answers must be greater then  or equal to -1
-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
(-1,infinity) is the domain
