The trial and error method is used to find an initial factor:
If we let f(x) = x³ - x² - 24x - 36 and all we have to do is sub' in values of x until
f(x) = 0, we can use this to find an initial factor by the factor theorem:
f(1) = (1)³ - (1)² - 24(1) - 36 = -60
f(2) = (2)³ - (2)² - 24(2) - 36 = -80
f(5) = (5)³ - (5)² - 24(5) - 36 = -56
*** f(6) = (6)³ - (6)² - 24(6) - 36 = 0 ***
f(6) = 0 so (x - 6) is a factor of f(x).
This means that: f(x) = x³ - x² - 24x - 36 = (x - 6)(ax² + bx + c).
To find a,b and c, use long division (or inspection) to divide x³ - x² - 24x - 36 by x - 6.
The other 2 factors of f(x) can then be found by factorizing the
ax² + bx + c quadratic the way you would with any other quadratic (i.e. by quadratic formula, CTS or inspection).
Is 172 the area or perimeter.
Answer:

f(x) = 4 when x is 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Domain is the set of x values that make the function defined. Allowed x values for the function (mapping).
The Range is the set of y values that make the function defined. Allowed y values for the function (mapping).
- Whenever we need to find f(a), suppose, then we look for "a" in the domain and see its corresponding value mapping in the range.
- Whenever we will be given a value for f(x) = a, suppose, and we have to find "x", we look at the value a in the range and find corresponding x value in the domain.
Firstly, we need f(4), so we look for "4" in domain and see which number it corresponds to in range.
That is 
Thus,

Next,
We want "x" value that gives us a "y" value of 4. We look for "4" in the range and see which value it corresponds to. That is "8". So,
f(8) = 4
