If you know that -2 is a zero of f(x) = x^3 + 7x^2 + 4x - 12, explain how to solve the equation.
First you have to figure out what could make f(x) = 0 to get rid of the cube. I'm going to test the array of data, x = -2, x = -3, and x = -4 because this type of equation probably has more negative values given that if you plug in some values the cubed-values and squared-values will surpass the "-12". Plug this into a calculator.
x^3 + 7x^2 + 4x - 12
f(-2) = -8 + 28 - 8 - 12 = 0
So you know that when x = -2, f(x) = 0. Divide "(x + 2)" from the equation and you will get... x^2 + 5x - 6. Now this is a simple polynomial one that you can figure to be (x + 6) (x - 1) just by looking at it because -6 multiplied by 1 is negative 6 and you see 5 and know that 6 - 1 = 5.
The solution is (x + 6) (x - 1) (x + 2) meaning that when x = -6, 1, or -2, f(x) is 0.
Answer:
C and B
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel is when two lines are exactly parallel from eachother which means they both have to go in the same direction. It has to be two lines that dont meet up with eachother when you continue the lines.
