Answer:
x = -3 and x = -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
After writing down the polynomial, split it; put a line between 3x^2 and -18x. Look and 2x^3 + 3x^2 and -18x - 27 separately and factor them both:
p(x) = 2x^3 + 3x^2 <u>- 18x -27</u>
p(x) = x^2(2x+3) <u>-9(2x+3)</u>
Now notice how x^2 and -9 have the same factor (2x+3). That means x^2 and -9 can go together:
p(x) = (x^2 - 9)(2x+3)
Factor it once more because there's a difference of squares:
p(x) = (x+3)(x-3)(2x+3)
Now just plug in whatever makes the each bracket equal 0:
x = -3, x = 3, and x = -3/2
Those are your zeros.
Answer: Independent Variable
Step-by-step explanation:
The independent (or manipulated) variable is something that the experimenter purposely changes or varies over the course of the investigation. The dependent (or responding) variable is the one that is observed and likely changes in response to the independent variable.
Answer:
22.05 mi.²
Step-by-step explanation:
A = bh
A = (4.5 mi)(4.9 mi)
A = 22.05 mi.²
