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.

Mkey [24]

Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given function:</u>

  • p(t)=3.1(1.016)^t

<u>The base of the growth rate is:</u>

  • 1.016 = 1 + 0.016

It represent a 1.6% of growth per year.

A.

  • Increasing

B.

<u>p(55) = 7.42 means:</u>

  • 55 years after 1963, in the year 2018, the population of Earth is 7.42 billions

Ann, Chang, and Kareem sent a total of
Gnoma [55]

It is given in the question that

Ann, Chang, and Kareem sent a total of 89 text messages over their cell phones during the weekend. Ann sent 9 fewer messages than Chang. Kareem sent 3 times as many messages as Ann.

Let number of messages Chang sent be x. And Ann sent 9 fewer than Chang, so Ann sent (x-9) messages. And Kareem sent 3 times as many messages as Ann, so Kareem sent 3(x-9) messages.

And the total messages are 89. That is

x+x-9+3(x-9)=89

Combining like terms

x + x - 9 + 3x-27 =89&#10;\\&#10;5x -36=89&#10;\\&#10;5x = 125&#10;\\&#10;x =25

So Chang sent 25 messages, Ann sent

25-9=16 messages

And Kareem sent

3*16 = 48 messages

What is 4 2/7 as an improper fraction?<br> HURRYYYYYYY
Alika [10]

Answer: C. 30/7

Step-by-step explanation: To make an improper fraction out of a mixed one we have to multiply the denominator by the whole number (in this case is 4) and then add the numerator. So 7 x 4 = 28 + 2 = 30, so 30/7 would be the correct answer choice.

Hope this helps!
