given a polynomial with factor (x - a)
Then x = a is a root of the polynomial and f(a) = 0
(1)
(x+ 2) is a factor , hence x = - 2 is a root
Evaluate the polynomial for x = - 2
f(- 2) = 5(- 2)³ + 8(- 2)² - 7(- 2) - 6 = - 40 + 32 + 14 - 6 = 0
Hence (x + 2 ) is a factor
(2)
If (x + 1) is a factor then x = - 1 is a root
5(- 1)³ + 8(-1)² - 7(- 1) - 6 = -5 + 8 + 7 - 6 = 4
Since f( - 1) ≠ 0
Then (x + 1) is not a factor

Taking the square root of both sides gives two possible cases,

or

Recall that

If
and
, we have

so in the equations above, we can write

Then in the first case,


(where
is any integer)


and in the second,




Then the solutions that fall in the interval
are

F(x) = a(x - h)³ + k
The parent graph is F(x) = x³
k - shifts the parent graph up k-units (or down if it is negative). This is also called a vertical shift.
h - shifts the parent graph to the right h-units (or left if it is negative). This is also called a horizontal shift.
a - stretches the parent graph vertically by a factor of "a"
Additonally, the coordinate (h, k) is the center/vertex of the graph.
Answer:
6.64 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Distance between roof of the terminal and ground = 709 feet
A bucket was dropped from the roof.
To find:
The time taken by the bucket to hit the ground?
Solution:
Distance traveled,
= 709 feet
Initial velocity of the bucket,
= 0 feet/sec (because initially it was at rest)
Acceleration of the bucket will be equal to acceleration due to gravity i.e.
or 32.1741 
Let the time taken is
seconds.
Formula for distance is given as:

Putting all the values:
