The factors of this polynomial would be (x + 4)(x + 2)(x - 1).
To find these, you first have to start with long division to find the first factor. If you use x + 4 it would look like this.
= 
Now we are left with only . We can factor this by looking for numbers that multiply to the last number and add to the middle number. 2 and -2 multiply to -2 and add to 1. Therefore, we'll use those in parenthesis in their place.
(x + 4)(x + 2)(x - 1)
Answer:
C = (2,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
B = (10 ; 2)
M = (6 ; 2)
C = (x ; y )
|___________|___________|
B (10;2) M (6;2) C ( x; y)
So:
dBM = dMC
√[(2-2)^2 + (6-10)^2] = √[(y-2)^2 + (x - 6)^2]
(2-2)^2 - (6-10)^2 = (y-2)^2 + (x - 6)^2
0 + (-4)^2 = (y-2)^2 + (x - 6)^2
16 = (y-2)^2 + (x - 6)^2
16 - (x - 6)^2 = (y-2)^2
Also:
2*dBM = dBC
2*√[(2-2)^2 + (6-10)^2] = √[(y-2)^2 + (x - 10)^2]
4*[(0)^2 + (-4)^2] = (y-2)^2 + (x - 10)^2
4*(16) = (y-2)^2 + (x - 10)^2
64 = (y-2)^2 + (x - 10)^2
64 = 16 - (x - 6)^2 + (x - 10)^2
48 = (x - 10)^2 - (x - 6)^2
48 = x^2 - 20*x + 100 - x^2 + 12*x - 36
48 = - 20*x + 100 + 12*x - 36
8*x = 16
x = 2
Thus:
16 - (x - 6)^2 = (y-2)^2
16 - (2 - 6)^2 = (y-2)^2
16 - (-4)^2 = (y-2)^2
16 - 16 = (y-2)^2
0 = (y-2)^2
0 = y - 2
2 = y
⇒ C = (2,2)
X= 2 and x= -8/6 if you make it = 0
(10x-20)(6x+8)=0
10x-20=0
10x=20
x=2
6x+8=0
6x=-8
x=-8/6
To find the slope, we must use the formula stated below.
Slope = Change in Y / Change in X = (Y1 - Y2) / (X1 - X2)
Since our coordinates are given as (X, Y), we must pick a coordinate to be #1, and the other coordinate will be #2.
I'll use the first coordinate as our #1.
(3 - 6) / (2 - 7) = (-3) / (-5) = 3/5 which is our answer
