Binomial (x - 6) and trinomial (-2x2 + x + 9) are the factors of which of the
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Option (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

If binomial (x - 6) and trinomial (-2x² + x + 9) are the factors of a polynomial then their multiplication will be equal to the polynomial.

(x - 6)(-2x² + x + 9) = x(-2x² + x + 9) - 6(-2x² + x + 9)

                              = -2x³ + x² + 9x + 12x² - 6x - 54

                              = -2x³ + 13x² + 3x - 54

Therefore, Option (3) will be the correct option.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

(-2 , 5)

(-1 , 0)

(1 , -4)

(3 , 0)

(4 , -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>First solve the equation:</u>

x² - 2x - 3

<em><u>Find two numbers with have a sum of -2 and a product of -3.</u></em>

-3 and 1

(x - 3)(x + 1)

Solve for x:

x - 3 = 0

x = 3

x + 1 = 0

x = -1

You know that the graph will cross the x-axis at -1 and 3.

(-1 , 0)

(3 , 0)

You know that the graph is positive.

<u>Complete the square to find the vertex</u>

x² - 2x - 3

(x - 1)² = x² - 2 + 1

x² - 2x - 3 = x² - 2 + 1 - 2 = (x - 1)² - 2

1 = 0

x = 1

Substitute into the original equation:

x² - 2x - 3 =

1² - (2 * 1) - 3 =

1 - 2 - 3 =

-4

(1 , -4)

<em><u>You can input any two numbers within -10 and 10. Such as -2 and 4.</u></em>

x² - 2x - 3 =

-2² - (2 * -2) - 3 =

4- -4- 3 =

5

(-2 , 5)

x² - 2x - 3 =

4² - (2 * 4) - 3 =

16 - 8 - 3 =

-5

(4 , -5)
