Factor f(x) = x^4 + x^3 - 8x^2 + 6x +36 completely. Show your work. Then describe what a graph of this function might look like.

Include where the graph would cross the x-axis and the y-axis. How many roots are real numbers and how many roots are imaginary numbers?

             <span> Use the rational root theorem to find the possible rational roots. The rational roots theorem says that possible rational roots are +/- factors the constant term (36 here) divided by factors of the leading coefficient (1 here). Possible rational roots are

+/- 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 12, 18, 36

Test each zero using the rational root test. To do this, use synthetic division to test the roots. I won't show the work here, but the roots that work are -2 and -3. As factors, this is x+2 and x+3.

From the synthetic division, we have x^2-4x+6 left over, which is irreducible.

In factored form:
f(x) = (x+2)(x+3)(x^-4x+6)

You could also use a graphing calculator to find the roots and work backwards to get the factored form too. A TI-89 Titanium would factor the polynomial and give you the above answer.</span>

What is the correct answer?​
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

D) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

You multiply 10 by 12 to get 120 so you multiply x by 12 to get 96.

96 = 12x

/12     /12

8   =   x

Given: sin(18m-12)=cos(7m+2), find the value of m.
V125BC [204]

Answer:

m = -2/7 + π/14 + (π n_1)/7 for n_1 element Z

or m = 2/3 - (π n_2)/18 for n_2 element Z

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for m:

-cos(7 m + 2) sin(12 - 18 m) = 0

Multiply both sides by -1:

cos(7 m + 2) sin(12 - 18 m) = 0

Split into two equations:

cos(7 m + 2) = 0 or sin(12 - 18 m) = 0

Take the inverse cosine of both sides:

7 m + 2 = π n_1 + π/2 for n_1 element Z

or sin(12 - 18 m) = 0

Subtract 2 from both sides:

7 m = -2 + π/2 + π n_1 for n_1 element Z

or sin(12 - 18 m) = 0

Divide both sides by 7:

m = -2/7 + π/14 + (π n_1)/7 for n_1 element Z

or sin(12 - 18 m) = 0

Take the inverse sine of both sides:

m = -2/7 + π/14 + (π n_1)/7 for n_1 element Z

or 12 - 18 m = π n_2 for n_2 element Z

Subtract 12 from both sides:

m = -2/7 + π/14 + (π n_1)/7 for n_1 element Z

or -18 m = π n_2 - 12 for n_2 element Z

Divide both sides by -18:

Answer: m = -2/7 + π/14 + (π n_1)/7 for n_1 element Z

or m = 2/3 - (π n_2)/18 for n_2 element Z

Slope 1/3 passing through the points (-3,-4)
saw5 [17]

Answer:

y=1/3x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

use the eqation y-y1 = m(x-x1)

plug in slop as m and points as x and y

so now you have --> y-(-4)=1/3(x-(-3))

two negatives = a positive --> y+4=1/3(x+3)

distribute the 1/3 --> y+4= 1/3x + 1

subtract 4 from both sides --> y= 1/3x - 3
