Answer:
-3, 1, 4 are the x-intercepts
Step-by-step explanation:
The remainder theorem tells you that dividing a polynomial f(x) by (x-a) will result in a remainder that is the value of f(a). That remainder will be zero when (x-a) is a factor of f(x).
In terms of finding x-intercepts, this means we can reduce the degree of the polynomial by factoring out the factor (x-a) we found when we find a value of "a" that makes f(a) = 0.

For the given polynomial, we notice that the sum of the coefficients is zero:
1 -2 -11 +12 = 0
This means that x=1 is a zero of the polynomial, and we have found the first x-intercept point we can plot on the given number line.
Using synthetic division to find the quotient (and remainder) from division by (x-1), we see that ...
f(x) = (x -1)(x² -x -12)
We know a couple of factors of 12 that differ by 1 are 3 and 4, so we suspect the quadratic factor above can be factored to give ...
f(x) = (x -1)(x -4)(x +3)
Synthetic division confirms that the remainder from division by (x -4) is zero, so x=4 is another x-intercept. The result of the synthetic division confirms that x=-3 is the remaining x-intercept.
The x-intercepts of f(x) are -3, 1, 4. These are the points you want to plot on your number line.
Answer:
I will attach the missing drawing with the answer.
9.b)
Plane JKM
Plane JLM
Plane KLM
Step-by-step explanation:
The drawing for this question is missing. I will attach it with the answer.
9.a) Plane JKL is not an appropriate name for the plane because all of three points lie in the same line.
Through a line pass infinite planes. The plane JKL doesn't define a unique plane. That's why plane JKL isn't an appropriate name for the plane.
9.b) We can name the plane using three points that don't lie in the same line.
Three possible names for the plane are :
Plane JKM
Plane JLM
Plane KLM
