Answer: (x-2)(x-1)(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation: Roots are where the graph hits the x-axis. So just like if you had the equation (example) x^2 + 4x + 4 and you were to factor it out to get (x+2)(x+2) you could then set x+2=0 to get the root x=-2. Think of your problem like as if someone has already done the factoring for you. Now all you have to remember is that the answer will have the opposite sign with in the parentheses because its like you’re adding or subtracting it to the x to get zero on other side of the equal sign... x=3 ——> x-3 = 0

Find an equation of the line described (3,7) (0,0)

Colt1911 [192]

The formula of the line is
y=mx + b
The likes goes through the point (0,0)
that means that y-int = 0, b=0
y=mx
So we need to find only slope.

$m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} = \frac{7-0}{3-0} = \frac{7}{3} 

$

$So, y= \frac{7}{3} x$

Hello,

Dividing by 0 is not defined so let s take x different from 4 and -4 and then we can write:

$f(x)=x^2-7x+12=x^2-4x-3x+12=x(x-4)-3(x-4)=(x-4)(x-3)\\ \\(f\times g)(x)=\dfrac{3(x-4)(x-3)}{(x-4)(x+4)}=\dfrac{3x-9}{x+4}$

Thanks

What is the length of each side of the triangle given a perimeter of 45 cm?

gladu [14]

TO find perimeter you add all sides. But to find the totaly of each side, you will divide. So a triangle has 3 sides, so you divide 45 by 3 to get the sides length of:
15 cm each
