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:
300%
Step-by-step explanation:
3 difference increase
Remark
Supplementary angles add up to 180o.
Givens
<1 = 124
<2 = 2x + 4
I imagine you are looking for either x or <2.
Equation
<1 + <2 = 180 Substitute the givens
124 + 2x + 4 = 180 Collect like terms on the left.
128 + 2x = 180 Subtract 128 from both sides
2x = 180 - 128 Collect like terms on the right
2x = 52 divide by 2
x = 52/2
x = 26 <<<<<<<<< answer
<1 = 124
<2 = 2x + 4 = 2*26 + 4
<2 = 52 + 4
<2 = 56 <<<<<<<< answer
We need choices if you want an exact answer.
