Answer:
(x-5) (x+1)
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - 4x - 5
Factor
What 2 numbers multiply to -5 and add to -4
-5*1 = -5
-5+1 = -4
(x-5) (x+1)
2 - 0.5n= 3n+16
----------------------- subtract 2 from both sides
-2 -2
-0.5n = 3n+14
----------------------- then subtract -3n from both sides as well
-3n -3n
-3.5n = 14
--------------- divide -3.5 on each side
-3.5 -3.5
simplify
Answer: n= -4
Answer:
f(x) = x^3 - x^2 -2x
Step-by-step explanation:
If x = a is a zero of a polynomial, then x-a is a factor of the polynomial. Given the factors of a polynomial, the polynomial can be obtained by multiplying the factors.
The factors of the given polynomial are;
x - 2
x + 1
x
Multiplying the first two factors;
(x-2)(x+1) = x^2 + x -2x -2
= x^2 -x -2
We finally multiply this result by x to obtain our polynomial;
f(x) = x ( x^2 -x -2)
= x^3 - x^2 -2x
which is a cubic polynomial since it has 3 roots.
