The first step is to determine the zeros of p(x).
From the Remainder Theorem,
p(a) = 0 => (x-a) is a factor of p(x), and x=a is a zero of p(x).
Try x=3:
p(3) = 3^3 - 3*3^2 - 16*3 + 48 = 27 - 27 - 48 + 48 = 0
Therefore x=3 is a zero, and (x-3) is a factor of p(x).
Perform long division.
x² - 16
-------------------------------------
x-3 | x³ - 3x² - 16x + 48
x³ - 3x²
-----------------------------------
- 16x + 48
- 16x + 48
Note that x² - 6 = (x+4)(x-4).
Therefore the complete factorization of p(x) is
p(x) = (x-3)(x+4)(x-4)
To determine when p(x) is negative, we shall test between the zeros of p(x)

Answer:
100 red bricks
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say red bricks is equal to 5x
Gray bricks is equal to 2x
We have an equation
2x + 5x = 140
= 7x = 140
Divide through by 7 to get the value of x
X = 140/7
X = 20
Red bricks = 5(x)
= 5(20)
= 100
Gray bricks = 2(x)
= 2(20)
= 40
Therefore in conclusion the number of red bricks is 100.
