Find the zeros of the polynomial function: f(x) = 9x^3 - 27x^2 - 4x + 12.

Answer:

  {-2/3, 2/3, 3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation can be factored by grouping.

  f(x) = (9x^3 -27x^2) +(-4x +12)

  f(x) = 9x^2(x -3) -4(x -3)

  f(x) = (9x^2 -4)(x -3)

We recognize the first factor as the difference of squares, so know it can be further factored to give ...

  f(x) = (3x -2)(3x +2)(x -3)

The zeros are the values of x that make these factors be zero:

  3x -2 = 0   ⇒   x = 2/3

  3x +2 = 0   ⇒   x = -2/3

  x -3 = 0   ⇒   x = 3

The zeros of the polynomial are x = -2/3, 2/3, 3.

Is there any tricks to memorize the special right triangle's sides?
noname [10]
Sohcahtoa
My algebra teacher got us all to remember that word because...
Soh - Sin = Opposite / Hypotenus
Cah - Cos = Adjacent / Hypotenus
Toa - Tan = Opposite / Adjacent
Sin, Cos, and Tan are what you can use to find missing triangle sides if you know at least one other angle besides the 90 degree angle.

Rewriting standard form to slope intercept
algol [13]

If you're asking how, here's an example

A standard form equation is when it is set up.

Ax + By = C.

6x + 2y = 4.

A slope-intercept form equation is when it is set up y=mx+b.

Y = - 3x + 2.

4y = -8x + 16 then divide all by 4.

y = -2x + 4 slope form.
