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.

Circle assignment! THANKS so much its worth so much of my grade

kogti [31]

Answer:

1. B) Figure B.

2. C) Figure C.

3. D) Figure D.

4. C) Figure C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Radius of Circle A= 4

Radius of Circle B= 5

Radius of circle C= 6

Radius of circle D= 7

Now, finding circumference and area of all the circle.

We know, circumference of circle= $2\pi r$

Area of circle= $\pi r^{2}$

Where, r= radius of circle and π = 3.14

First, solving for figure A

Circumference= $2\times 3.14\times 4= 25.12\ cm$

Area= $3.14\times 4^{2} = 50.24\ cm^{2}$

Solving for Figure B

Circumference= $2\times 3.14\times 6= 31.4\ cm$

Area= $3.14\times 5^{2} = 78.5\ cm^{2}$

Solving for Figure C

Circumference= $2\times 3.14\times 6= 37.68\ cm$

Area= $3.14\times 6^{2} = 113.04\ cm^{2}$

Solving for Figure D

Circumference= $2\times 3.14\times 7= 43.96\ cm$

Area= $3.14\times 7^{2} = 153.86\ cm^{2}$

∴ 1. Answer is Figure B.

2. Answer is figure C.

3. Answer is Figure D

4. Answer is Figure C.

How much p² – q² + 2pq is less than -2p² -2q² + 7pq +10 ?

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: 3p² + q² - 5pq - 10 < 0

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

p² - q² + 2pq < -2p² - 2q² + 7pq + 10

since you didn't specify what to solve for, move everything from the right side to the left side of the inequality symbol using inverse operations.

(p² + 2p²) + (- q² + 2q²) + (2pq - 7pq) + (- 10) < 0

3p² + q² + -5pq + -10 < 0

3p² + q² - 5pq - 10 < 0
