Answer:
P(x) = x³ - 3x² - 5x + 15
Step-by-step explanation:
∵ The roots of the polynomial are -√5 , √5 , 3
∴ The polynomial has 3 factors:
(x - √5) , (x + √5) , (x - 3)
∴ P(x) = (x - √5)(x + √5)(x - 3)
= (x² + √5x - √5x - 5)(x - 3)
= (x² - 5)(x - 3) = x³ - 3x² - 5x + 15
∴ P(x) = x³ - 3x² - 5x + 15
There are 6 (five sixteenths) in 1 and (seven eighths)
Answer:
x = -7 or x = 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming you meant solve for x when f(x) = 0.
f(x) = 3x(x + 7) - 2(x + 7)
0 = (x + 7)(3x - 2) -- Both terms have a common factor of (x + 7) so we can group them
x + 7 = 0 or 3x - 2 = 0 -- Use ZPP
x = -7 or x = 2/3 -- Solve
Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
Answer: Choice B) The expression (10-2x)(30-2x)x represents the volume of the box
----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------
The original width is 10 inches. The width reduces to 10-2x inches after we cut off the top two corners of the rectangle. We can think of it as taking 10 and subtracting off two copies of x like so: 10-x-x = 10-2x
Similarly, the length goes from 30 inches to 30-2x inches. This time we're taking off the top and bottom corners (focus on either side it doesn't matter).
The height of the box is x inches due to this portion being folded up.
Volume of box = (width)*(length)*(height)
Volume of box = (10-2x)(30-2x)x
Note: the units for the answer are in cubic inches which can be written as "in^3" (inches cubed).
