Answer:

y intercept = -2

x intercepts = -2,-1,1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 -x-2

Set this equation equal to zero to find the x intercepts.

Factoring by grouping

0 =x^3 -x   +2x^2 -2

   = x( x^2-1) +2(x^2-1)

Factoring out the (x^2-1)

0= (x^2-1) (x+2)

Factoring the first term using the difference of squares (a^2-b^2) = (a-b)(a+b)

0 = (x-1) (x+1) (x+2)

Using the zero product property

x-1 = 0  x+1  = 0  x+2 =0

x=1,  x=-1   x=-2

The x intercepts are -2, -1, 1


To find the y intercepts, set x=0

y = x^3 + 2x^2 -x-2

y = 0 -2

y = -2

(PaperTowels)
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

<u>23 consumer.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number Of Responses for Thirsty = 49

Number Of Responses for Clean = 24

Number Of Responses for Strong Ones = 15

Number Of Responses for PowerWash = 12

So,

The total number of Responses  = 49 + 24 + 15 + 12 = 100

So, the probability to prefer PowerWash = 12/100 = 0.12

For a group of 195 consumers:

prediction to prefer PowerWash paper towels = 0.12 * 195 = 23.4

So,

The number of consumers prefer PowerWash paper towels = <u>23 consumer</u>

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

y = 27/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Perform the indicated multiplication:

3(4y-7)=15y+6 becomes:

12y - 21 = 5y + 6

Combining like terms, we get:

7y = 27, so that y = 27/7
