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)

p(x) is negative in the interval x = (3, 4).
Answer
The time interval is Jan. 1, 2014 to Jan. 1, 2015.
Answer:
175 minutes or 2 hours 55 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
do 25 times 7
The answer to that one is C
The exact number is 8,784 toffees but if you want me to estimate to the nearest tens then it would be 8,780
Yes
8+3= 11
You regroup the one
4+2=6+1=7
Hope this helps!
