Answer:

f(x)=x^3+x^2-4x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph, the x-intercepts are;

x=-2

x=-1

x=2

These are root of the polynomial function represented by the given graph.

By the remainder theorem;

f(-2)=0,f(-1)=0,f(2)=0

According to the factor theorem, if (x-a) is a factor of f(x), then f(a)=0

This implies that;

(x+2),(x+1),(x-2) are factors of the required function.

Hence; f(x)=(x+1)(x-2)(x+2)

We expand using difference of two squares to obtain;

f(x)=(x+1)(x^2-4)

We expand using the distributive property to get;

f(x)=x^3-4x+x^2-4

Rewrite in standard form to obtain;

f(x)=x^3+x^2-4x-4

Answer:

Choice A: f(x) = x^3 + x^2 − 4x − 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's a great and simple answer.

Ok first we need to take the x intercepts to solve.

If we look at the graph we see the x ints are -2,+1 and +2.

To solve we need to put them into factor form

= (x-2) (x+2) and (x+1)

Simplify: (x-2) (x+2) = (x^2-4) and (x+1)

Now we take (x^2-4) and (x+1) and multiply them to find our answer

(x^2-4) (x+1)

= x^2(x) and x^2(1) = x^3 and x^2.

now the other: -4(x) and -4(+1) = -4x and -4

We have nothing common here so we just join them

= x^3 + x^2 - 4x - 4, and that is the same as choice A.

3yd 4yd what is the length of the hypotenuse
hjlf

Answer:

5 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem,

Hypotenuse² = base² + altitude²

                      = 3² + 4²

                       = 9 + 16

                       = 25

Hypotenuse = √25 = √5*5 = 5 yd

Square root of 4×-1=5
borishaifa [10]

Answer:3/2

how i did this

​ Add 11 to both sides.

4x=5+1

Simplify 5+15+1 to 66.

4x=6

Divide both sides by 4

       x=   6/4

Simplify 6/4 to 3/2

       Awnser

x=3/2

Sorry if not helpful just trying my best :)

which pair of these points defines a line with a slope 2/3? A. (2, 6) and (3, 0) B. (6, 2) and 3, 0) C. (6, 2) and (0, 0) D. (2,
ipn [44]

Answer:

B. (6,2) and (3,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope the equation is \frac{y_{2-y_{1} } }{x_{2} -x_{1} } so for (6,2) and (3,0) the equation would look like this \frac{0-2}{3-6} which simplies down to \frac{-2}{-3} and a negative divided by a negative is a positive so you're slope is \frac{2}{3} and it matches the question.
