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)

p(x) is negative in the interval x = (3, 4).
Answer
The time interval is Jan. 1, 2014 to Jan. 1, 2015.
Answer:
The inequality is 9 less than and equal to 5
The marked area on the line is numbers all below 5 which covers the less than and since it stop directly at 5 it's going to be equal to that as well
S1=$70/20gal=$3.50 per gallon
s2=$33.50/(50/4)gal=$2.68 per gallon
s3=$48.75/(15+8)gal=$2.12 per gallon
So supplier #3 has the best deal.
There are many...since 1 yard is 3 feet, then 12 yards, which is 12 times as much , is 12 x 3 or 36 feet.....
This question is based on least common multiple method.
As given in the question,
Aunts are taking pictures in group of = 5
Uncles are taking pictures in group of = 10
So we have been asked what is the minimum number of aunts Sana have.
As we have been given that the number of aunts and uncles is equal so to find the minimum number of aunts we will apply the least common multiple method.
So we get LCM of 5,10 as 10
Hence there are minimum 10 aunts.
