Answer:
(x + 4) and (x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 5x + 4
Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 4) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 5)
The factors are 4 and 1 , since
4 × 1 = 4 and 4 + 1 = 5 , then
x² + 5x + 4 = (x + 4)(x + 1) ← in factored form
Answers:
f(-3) = -1
f(-1) = 2
f(3) = 5
======================================
Explanations:
Draw a vertical line through -3 on the x axis. Make sure this vertical line crosses the orange graph. Mark this point of intersection and then draw a horizontal line from this point to the y axis. You should find that it touches -1 on the y axis. Check out the attached image to see this process in action.
Those steps basically say that x = -3 leads to y = -1. Since y = f(x), this means f(-3) = -1
Through similar steps, you should find that f(-1) = 2 and f(3) = 5
Note that the open hole/circle does not count. So if you land on an open hole, just keep going until you hit a closed circle on the other piece of the graph.
it cannot be simplified, only rounded. THis rounded as a fraction is "7 7/10"
