Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
20x^3+8x^2-30x-12
Factor out the greatest common factor 2
2 (10x^3+4x^2-15x-6)
Then factor by grouping
2 ( 10x^3+4x^2 -15x-6)
Factor out 2 x^2 from the first group and -3 from the second group
2 ( 2x^2( 5x+2) -3( 5x+2))
Factor out ( 5x+2)
2 ( 5x+2) (2x^2-3)
The 2 can go in either term to get binomials
( 10x +4) (2x^2-3)
or ( 5x+2) ( 4x^2 -6)
So let's start by guesstimating the slopes:
the green line has a slope close to -x, but more negative than that, possibly -2; the pink line has a slope close to +x, but higher towards +2.
Next let's look at the solution: the two lines intersect at the point (1, -1).
**you could just simple plug that x (1) into all the equations, but let's rule out answers anyway. ;)
A) is incorrect because the slopes of -1 and +1 are off from out predicted -2 and +2
B) is incorrect because of a similar reason, the slopes of +3 and +1 don't make any sense
C) Ooh, we do have a +2 and -2 for the slopes, and... violà! plug in 1 for the x's and we get -1 for the y in both equations
D) slopes are closer than in A and B, but plugging in 1 doesn't get us -1
So the correct answer is:
C) y = 2x - 3 and y = −2x + 1
