Which of the following is not a factor of x^3 – 3x^2 – 4x + 12?

Mathematics

Slav-nsk [51]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

c. (x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

using factor theorem

if x - 3 is a factor then p(a) = 0

p(a)= x^3 - 3x^2 - 4x + 12

a.(x-3)

p(3) = (3)^3 - 3(3)^2 - 4(3) + 12

= 27 - 27 - 12 + 12

= 0

therefore x-3 is a factor

b.(x + 2)

p(-2) = (-2)^3 - 3(-2)^2 - 4(-2) + 12

= -8 -12 + 8 + 12

,= 0

therefore x + 2 is a factor

c.(x + 3)

p(-3) = (-3)^3 - 3(-3)^2 - 4(-3) + 12

= -27 -27 + 12 + 12

= -30

therefore x + 3 is not a factor

d.(x-2)

p(2) = (2)^3 - 3(2)^2 - 4(2) + 12

= 8 -12 - 8 + 12

= 0

therefore x - 2 is a factor

I need some help... HOW DO I DO THISSSS. NOT ASKING YOU TO DO IT JUST HELP ME
torisob [31]

so obviously first of all find three sherical objects or balls of varioius sizes to make it easier get a large medium and small sized.

then on scratch paper sketch those objects (im assuming by the looks of it you would trace them if not just draw them then take measuring tape or a ruler across to measure said object) now you arent told what units to measure in but id assume to stick with one unit either inches or cm

mesure the length across which is the circumference

now you would just have to do your calculations by finding the radius and volume and surface area

remember volume is (*units) cubed and suface area is (*units) sqared

Read the following description of a
Annette [7]

Answer:

\sf a = \boxed{\bf 1}  \ n+ \boxed{\bf 3}

Explanation:

\sf \underline{rate} \ = \ \sf \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \   = \  \dfrac{rise}{run}  \ = \  \dfrac{11-10}{8-7}   \ = \  \underline{1}

<u>Equation</u>:

\Rightarrow \sf a - a1 = m(n - n1)

\Rightarrow \sf a - 10 = 1(n -7)

\Rightarrow  \sf a = n - 7 + 10

\Rightarrow \sf a = n + 3
