Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) = 2x³ + 9x² + 7x – 6

Also given that -3 is a root, which means (x+3) is a factor of f(x).

In order to find the other factors, we need to divide f(x) by (x-3)

or  (2x³ + 9x² + 7x – 6) /  (x-3)

you can either use long division or synthetic division to perform this division, either way, you will end up with :

(2x³ + 9x² + 7x – 6) /  (x-3) = (2x² + 3x -2) which is also a factor of f(x)

Hence f(x) can be expressed

f(x) = 2x³ + 9x² + 7x – 6 = (x-3)(2x² + 3x -2)

We notice that for (2x² + 3x -2) you can further factor this using quadratic factoring (or your choice of method to solve quadratic equations).

By factoring, (2x² + 3x -2) = (2x-1) (x+2)

hence f(x) = (x-3)(2x² + 3x -2) = (x-3)(2x-1)(x+2)

Answer:

Identify the factor x+3 from the given root -3.

Use synthetic division to divide the polynomial by x+3.

Uses the bottom row of the synthetic division as coefficients in the quadratic 2x^2+3x-2.

Factor the quotient to find the two other factors: x+2 and 2x-1.

I really need help <br> Dz,2 of X is<br> (0-4)<br> (2,-2)<br> (6,2)

Answer:

  (6,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

As is often the case with multiple-choice problems, you don't actually need to know the detailed working. You just need to know what the answer looks like.

When point X is dilated by a factor of 2 with point Z as the center of dilation, it will move to a location twice as far from Z. You can tell by looking at the graph that X' will be in the first quadrant, above and to the right of the location of X. The only sensible answer choice is ...

  X' = (6, 2)

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

X is a distance of X-Z = (4, 0) -(2, -2) = (2, 2) from Z Doubling that will put the image point a distance of 2(2, 2) = (4, 4) from Z. When this is added to Z, we find ...

  X' = Z + (4, 4) = (2+4, -2+4) = (6, 2)

In the U.S thirteen of twenty cans are recycled. What % of cans are recycled?
madam [21]

A percent is how many out of 100.

13/20 is how many out of 100?

You multiply the top and bottom by 5, as 5x20 is 100

13x5 is 65

Therefore, 65 out of every hundred cans, or 65%, are recycled

Why using the order of operations is important.
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Simply: It makes sure you get the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Using order of operations (pemdas) ensures you do the correct operations in the correct order. If not, then everyone could get loads of different answers for the same question. It provides order in the math world.

Hope this helps!
