Answer:
(x - 3) is a factor of P(x)
Step-by-step explanation:
if (x - 3) is a factor of P(x) then P(3) = 0
P(3) = 2(3)³ + 5(3)² - 28(3) - 15
= 2(27) + 5(9) - 84 - 15
= 54 + 45 - 99
= 99 - 99
= 0
since P(3) = 0 then (x - 3) is a factor of P(x)
The value of 9 is 90 because it is in the tens place.
Answer:
4n+1
Step-by-step explanation:
Term 1: 4(1)+1 = 5
Term 2: 4(2)+1 = 9
Term 3: 4(3)+1 = 13
Term 4: 4(4)+1 = 17
<u>X - Intercept</u>
f(x) = -x² + 4x - 4
0 = -x² + 4x - 4
x = <u>-(4) +/- √((4)² - 4(-1)(-4))</u>
2(-1)
x = <u>-4 +/- √(16 - 16)</u>
-2
x = <u>-4 +/- √(0)
</u> -2<u>
</u> x = <u>-4 +/- 0
</u> -2<u>
</u> x = <u>-4 + 0</u> x = <u>-4 - 0</u>
-2 -2
x = <u>-4</u> x = <u>-4</u>
-2 -2
x = 2 x = 2
The solution to the problem is {2, 2}, or {2}. The x - intercept of the problem is (2, 0).
<u>Y - Intercept</u>
f(x) = -x² + 4x - 4
f(x) = -(0)² + 4(0) - 4
f(x) = -(0) + 0 - 4
f(x) = -0 + 0 - 4
f(x) = 0 - 4
f(x) = -4
The y - intercept of the problem is (0, -4).
