Answer:
x = 4 or x = -4 is your answer
I think the answer to this is: 25q + 10d + 5n + 60 = 87
The story says that you have 1 dollar and 87 cents; 60 cents of which is pennies. So, if you’re using an equation involving quarters, dimes and nickels, the total equation should equal to 87 cents (since that dollar bill could not be broken down to cents).
Answer:
x = - 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: -2, 0, 4
Set the equation equal to zero.
x³ - 2x² - 8x = 0
Factor out x in the equation, since all the terms (x³, -2x², and -8x) are divisible by x. You can check your accuracy using the Distributive Property.
x(x² - 2x - 8) = 0
Factor out the polynomial. To do this, find two numbers that multiply to get the last term, -8, and add together to get the middle term, -2. In this case, those two numbers are -4 and 2 (-4 × 2 = -8 and -4 + 2 = -2). Don't forget about the x that was factored out before!
x(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0
Set each factor equal to zero and solve for x. The factors in the equation are x, (x - 4), and (x + 2).
x = 4
x = -2
The zeros of the polynomial function are -2, 0, and 4.
