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.

5) Your stock investments went from $450 in 2013 to $350 ir
Hatshy [7]

The most appropriate choice for percentage will be given by Percentage decrease in the investment is 22.22%

<h3>What Does Percent Mean?</h3>

Using a percentage of 100, we may express a ratio as a %.

Stock investments in this case decreased from $450 in 2013 to $350 in 2014.

Decrease in stock equals $100 ($450 - $355)

Decrease in percentage: 100/450 100 = 22.22%

<h3>What format does a percentage use?</h3>

The definition of percentage is "out of 100." In mathematics, percentages are used to represent parts of a whole, much as fractions and decimals. A total is considered to be made up of 100 equal parts when expressed as a percentage. The symbol % or, less commonly, the abbreviation 'pct' can be used to represent a percentage.
