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.

What is the area of the figure?<br><br> 40 ft2<br> 84 ft2<br> 96 ft2<br> can't be determined
mina [271]

Answer:

A=80\ ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the figure is equal to the area of an isosceles triangle (has two equal sides) plus the area of a rectangle

step 1

Find the area of the triangle

The area of the triangle is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}bh

we have

b=16\ ft

To find out the height of the triangle Apply the Pythagorean Theorem

10^2=(16/2)^2+h^2

solve for h

100=64+h^2

h^2=100-64

h^2=36

h=6\ ft

<em>Find the area of triangle</em>

A=\frac{1}{2}(16)(6)

A=48\ ft^2

step 2

Find the area of rectangle

The area of rectangle is equal to

A=LW

we have

L=16\ ft\\W=2\ ft

substitute

A=(16)(2)=32\ ft^2

step 3

Find the area of the figure

Adds the areas

A=48+32=80\ ft^2

A case of 24 tennis balls weighs 3 pounds. How much would a shipment of 2560 tennis balls weigh? Please write
kolbaska11 [484]

The weight of a shipment of 2560 balls weighs 320 pounds.

<h3>How much would a shipment of 2560 tennis balls weigh?</h3>

We know that 24 tennis balls weigh 3 pounds. Then the weight of a single tennis ball is:

W = (3 lb)/(24 balls) = (1/8) pounds per ball.

To get the weight of 2560 tennis balls, we just need to multiply the number of tennis balls by the weight of a single ball, then we get:

Total weight = 2560*(1/8) pounds per ball = 320 pounds.

The weight of a shipment of 2560 balls weighs 320 pounds.
