We are given polynomial: 
.
We need to explain why the binomial (x + 2) IS a factor of this polynomial expression and why the binomial (x + 1) IS NOT a factor of this polynomial expression.
Let us set first factor equal to 0 and solve for x.
x+2=0
x=-2.
Plugging x=-2 in given polynomial, we get
<em>Because x=-2 gives 0 on plugging in given polynomial, so it's factor of given polynomial expression.</em>
Now, let us check second factor x+1=0
x=-1.
Plugging x=-1 in given polynomial, we get
=-5+8+7-6.
= -4.
<em>Because x=-1 doesn't gives 0 on plugging in given polynomial, so it's not a factor of given polynomial expression.</em>
Answer:
- no question content
- (x, y) = (1/2, 4)
- (x, y) = (2, 10)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. No link, no question

2. Divide the first equation by 2 and substitute for y using the expression in the second equation.
2x +(4x+2) = 5
6x = 3 . . . . . . . . . subtract 2
x = 3/6 = 1/2 . . . . divide by2
y = 4(1/2) +2 = 4 . . . . substitute into the equation for y
The solution is (x, y) = (1/2, 4).

3. The solution using a graphing calculator is (x, y) = (2, 10). (see attached)
To have roots as described, that means we have the following factors: From multiplicity 2 at x=1 has (x-1)^2 as its factor From multiplicity 1 at x=0 has x as a factor From multiplicity 1 at x = -4 has a factor of x+4 Putting these together we get that P(x) = A (x) (x+4) (x-1)^2 Multiply these out and find P(x) = A (x^2 + 4x) (x^2 - 2x + 1) A ( x^4 - 2x^3 + x^2 + 4x^3 - 8x^2 + 4x ) Combine like terms and find P(x) = A (x^4 + 2x^3 - 7x^2 + 4x) To find A, we use the point they gave us (5, 72) P(5) = A [ (5)^4 + 2(5)^3 - 7(5)^2 + 4(5) ] = 72 A [ 625 + 250 - 175 + 20 ] = 72 A [ 720 ] = 72 Divide both sides by 720 and find that A = 0.1 Final answer: P(x) = 0.1 ( x^4 + 2x^3 - 7x^2 + 4x) or P(x) = 0.1 x^4 + 0.2 x^3 - 0.7x^2 + 0.4x
Answer:
negative
Step-by-step explanation:
because a positive multiplied by a negative number equals a negative number.
