31/100 represents the yellow marbles because 3/10 = 30/100, 2/10 = 20/100, and 19/100.It all adds up to 69/100 marbles.
We can check to see if (x - 2)(x - 9)(x - 1) is the factored form of x^3 + 8x^2 - 11x - 18 by using foil.
(x - 2)(x - 9)(x - 1)
(x - 2)x^2 - x - 9x + 9
Combine like terms.
(x - 2)x^2 - 10x + 9
FOIL again.
x^3 - 10x^2 + 9x - 2x^2 + 20x - 18
Combine like terms.
x^3 - 12x^2 + 29x - 18
<h3><u>The listed factors are not true factors of the given polynomial.</u></h3>
2, –6 is the correct answer
