Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph that represents the function
f(x) = (x + 4)(x + 1)(x - 3)
crosses the x-axis three times: at x = -4, x = -1, and x = 3
because we apply the zero product rule and found the roots -4, -1, and 3
x+ 4= 0 → x = -4
x+1 = 0 → x = -1
x-3 = 0 → x = 3
Given:
A driver is below the surface of the water at - 15m. he dives down by 6m, then rises 4m.
To find:
The current location of the driver.
Solution:
In this problem, negative sign is used for downward direction or the distance below the surface of the water.
Initial location = -15 m
Dives down by 6m, it means - 6m, then rises 4m, it means 4 m.
Now, the current location is
Therefore, the correct location of the driver is at -17 m it means her is 17 m below the surface of the water.
