Your problem statement makes no reference to p or q, so we can only guess that "p/q" refers to the ratio of the lowest- and highest-degree coefficients:

... -6/1

Then the factors of p/q are the factors of 6, with either sign.

Factors of p/q: ±1, ±2, ±3.

There are a number of ways the factors can be tested. To test 1, simply add the coefficients. (The sum is -8.) To test -1, subtract the sum of odd-degree coefficients from the sum of even-degree coefficients. (The difference is 0.)

Knowing that -1 is a root of the function, you can use synthetic division to find the quadratic factor. (See the first attachment for the work.) Then you have ...

... f(x) = (x +1)(x² +x -6)

You can continue to test the factors of p/q, or you can factor the quadratic to get ...

... f(x) = (x +1)(x -2)(x +3)

Another way to test the factors is to program your graphing calculator to evaluate the function f(x) for those factors. The result from my TI-84 is shown in the second attachment. That shows f(x) = 0 for x = -3, -1, and +2.

Test the factors: f({-3, -2, -1, 1, 2, 3}) = {0, 4, 0, -8, 0, 24}

This tells you the x-intercepts.

X-intercepts: -3, -1, 2

Of course, the y-intercept is just the constant in the function—the value of the function when x=0.

Y-intercept: -6

As with any odd-degree polynomial with a positive leading coefficient, the overall behavior looks like "/". That is ...

End behaviors: f(x) goes to -∞ as x goes to -∞; f(x) goes to +∞ as x goes to +∞.

_____

A graph of f(x) is shown in the third attachment. (Graphing calculators make it easy to use graphing to find x-intercepts.)

Marcus wants to buy a PS5 and some digital games. The console cost $725 and he plans to buy games that cost $45. He only has $98
wariber [46]
I don’t know your question sooo I’m just going to go based on what I know.

980 - 725 = 225
$225 is how much you have left to buy games

In the end you can only buy about 3 games with $40 left

Find the area of a circle with radius, r = 60cm. Give your answer rounded to 3 SF.
katrin [286]

The area of the circle will be equal to 11309.733 square centimetres.

<h3>What is an area?</h3>

The space occupied by any two-dimensional figure in a plane is called the area. The space occupied by the circle in a two-dimensional plane is called the area of the circle.

The area of the circle will be calculated by the following formula:-

Area = πr²

Area = π x ( 60 x 60 )

Area = 3.14 x 60 x 60

Area = 11309.733 square centimeters.

Therefore the area of the circle will be equal to 11309.733 square centimetres.
