Distributive Property
The distributive property states that when a factor is multiplied by the sum of two numbers, you can multiply each of the two numbers by that factor and then add them.
<h2>Example</h2><h3>Equation </h3>
10(x + 2) = 45
Apply the distributive property to the left side of the equation by multiplying
two numbers inside the parentheses by 10
10(x) + 10(2) = 45
Now add them
10x + 20 = 45
Rearrange the like terms
10x = 45 -20
10x = 25
x = 25/10
x = 2.5

Answer:
<h2>P(x) = (x+3)(x-2)^2</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the brackets you can see where the curve will intersect the x-axis.
The graph shows the curve intersecting at (0,-3) and (0,2).
This means:
x = -3
AND
x = 2
Rearrange the equations, equating them to 0.
x + 3 = 0
x - 2 = 0
This will be the values in the brackets.
Because the curve only touches 0,2 and DOES NOT cross it, we know that x - 2 is a repeated root, hence (x-2) is squared.
Therefore your brackets are: (x+3)(x-2)(x-2)
Which can be simplified:
(x+3)(x-2)^2
Where ^2 means squared.
