The cubic function is $f(x)=x^3+3x^2-46x-168$

Option D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the cubic function with the given zeros -6,7,-4

If -6,7,-4 are zeros of the function then:

x=-6, x=7 and x=-4

=> x+6=0,x-7=0 and x+4=0

Multiplying these terms to find the cubic function:

(x+6)(x-7)(x+4)

Solving:

$(x+6)(x-7)(x+4)\\=(x+6)(x(x+4)-7(x+4))\\=(x+6)(x^2+4x-7x-28)\\=(x+6)(x^2-3x-28)\\=x(x^2-3x-28)+6(x^2-3x-28)\\=x^3-3x^2-28x+6x^2-18x-168\\Combining\,\,like\,\,terms:\\=x^3-3x^2+6x^2-28x-18x-168\\=x^3+3x^2-46x-168$

So, the cubic function is $f(x)=x^3+3x^2-46x-168$

Option D is correct

Would you rather have 1/3 of a cake or 0.3? Use mathematical reasoning to justify your choice?

Vinil7 [7]

1/3 because if you cut a cake into 3 parts you will have a lot more but 0.3 of a cake is not a lot.

How is a change in the circumference of a circle related to the diameter of a circle

zaharov [31]

Answer:

let's use c as circumference, d for diameter

lets say c increases, d is related to c, d will also increase

if c decreases, d will too.

Let's put in this way.

Pretend you're at a store,

The more you spend, the more points you get in their loyalty program

C is going to be the amount you spend

D will be how many points you get

Spend more, more points

spend less, less points

P.S

C is the independent variable, D is the dependent variable. (I think that's the right way, if not ignore the postscript aka P.S)

Help i don't understand please lolololol

agasfer [191]

Set the equations equal to each other and solve for the variable x. then use the answer from x and plug it in to the equations and you should get an answer

3x=63

63÷3=x

21=x

x=21

that is the value of x

73 is the answer to the top equation and the bottom equation in the triangle. Meaning the equations are equal to each other when you have 21 plugged in for the variable x.
make sure to put your label if it asks for it. it means the book or the teacher. go by what the teacher says if it is different from what the book says
