The first step is to determine the zeros of p(x).
From the Remainder Theorem,
p(a) = 0 => (x-a) is a factor of p(x), and x=a is a zero of p(x).
Try x=3:
p(3) = 3^3 - 3*3^2 - 16*3 + 48 = 27 - 27 - 48 + 48 = 0
Therefore x=3 is a zero, and (x-3) is a factor of p(x).
Perform long division.
x² - 16
-------------------------------------
x-3 | x³ - 3x² - 16x + 48
x³ - 3x²
-----------------------------------
- 16x + 48
- 16x + 48
Note that x² - 6 = (x+4)(x-4).
Therefore the complete factorization of p(x) is
p(x) = (x-3)(x+4)(x-4)
To determine when p(x) is negative, we shall test between the zeros of p(x)

Answer:
m = 0.667
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate and show the solution for the x-intercept and y-intercept of 4x - 6y = 14.
Calculate the graph plot coordinates for 4x - 6y = 14
Solve 4x - 6y = 14 for x and also for y.
Calculate and show the solution for the slope of 4x - 6y = 14
Find x-intercept
The x-intercept is where the graph crosses the x-axis. To find the x-intercept, we set y1=0 and then solve for x.
4x - 6y = 14
4x - 6(0) = 14
x1 = 3.5 y1 = 0
Find y-intercept
The y-intercept is where the graph crosses the y-axis. To find the y-intercept, we set x2=0 and then solve for y.
4x - 6y = 14
4(0) - 6y = 14
y2 = -2.333 x2 = 0
Get Graph Plot Coordinates
Getting two graph points will allow you to make a straight line on a graph. The plot coordinate format is (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).
Thus, we use the x-intercept and y-intercept results above to get the graph plots for 4x - 6y = 14 as follows:
(x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
(3.5,0) and (0,-2.333)
Find slope
The slope of the line (m) is the steepness of the line. It is the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate. Simply plug in the coordinates from above and solve for m to get the slope for 4x - 6y = 14
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-2.333 - 0)/(0 - 3.5)
m = 0.667

Answer: (x+1)(x+3)</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
Let's assume it factors into (x+a)(x+b)
The goal is to find the two numbers a and b.
FOIL out (x+a)(x+b) to get x^2+(a+b)x+ab
Note how a+b is the middle term and ab is the last term.
In the original expression, 4 is the middle term and 3 is the last term.
So we need to find two numbers that
There are two ways to multiply to 3 and they are
- 1 times 3 = 3
- -1 times -3 = -3
But only the first way has the factors add to 4. So that means a = 1 and b = 3.
Therefore (x+a)(x+b) = (x+1)(x+3)
And x^2+4x+3 = (x+1)(x+3)
Hi there! :)
Answer:
Use the formula V = 1/3(bh) to solve for the volume of the cone where b = πr² where π ≈ 3.14:
Find the area of the base:
b = π(7)²
b = 49π
b = 153.86 mm²
Find the volume:
V = 1/3(153.86 · 7)
V = 1/3(1077.02)
V = 359.006 ≈ 359.01 mm³.
