The factors of this polynomial would be (x + 4)(x + 2)(x - 1).
To find these, you first have to start with long division to find the first factor. If you use x + 4 it would look like this.
=
Now we are left with only . We can factor this by looking for numbers that multiply to the last number and add to the middle number. 2 and -2 multiply to -2 and add to 1. Therefore, we'll use those in parenthesis in their place.
(x + 4)(x + 2)(x - 1)
Answer:
13
1.57
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have two equations regarding the number of quarters <em>q</em> and the number of pennies <em>p:</em>
<em /><em />
Which represents the total amount of coins and
Which represents the total amount of money in dollars.
So we are asked to evaluation each expression for the situation in which we have 6 quarters and 7 pennies. Thus, plug 6 in for <em>q</em> and 7 in for <em>p:</em>
<em /><em />
This tells us that we have 16 coins in total.
This tells us that we have a total amount of $1.57.
