Answer:
(x - 3)(x + 1)(x + 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
I'd use synthetic division instead. If we were to find the roots of the given polynomial, we could from them write the factors as well.
The divisor x + 5 corresponds to root x = -5. Setting up synthetic div.,
-5 ) 1 3 -13 -15
-5 10 +15
-----------------------------
1 -2 -3 0
Since the remainder is 0, we know that -5 is a root and (x + 5) is a factor. Moreover, we know that the coefficients of the quotient are 1, -2 and -3.
1x² - 2x - 3 can be factored: the factors are (x - 3) and (x + 1).
So the end result for this problem is (x - 3)(x + 1)(x + 5).
217x+99=25
217x=25-99
217x= -74
X=-74/217
16 people would be at the dinner because Jim and Sarah invited 7 friends and each friend brought 1 guest, so you do 7*2=14 and the 14 + Jim and Sarah=16 people.
Using the equations for tangent and secant lines:
Let the unknown length of the line inside the circle = y
6^2 = 3 x (y+3)
Simplify:
36 = 3y+9
Subtract 9 from both sides:
27 =3y
Divide both sides by 3:
Y = 9
Now add to get x:
X = 9 + 3 = 12
X = 12
2(20+60+48)=2(128)= 256 square inches
Hope it helps
