Answer:

P(x)=-5x^3-40x^2-45x+90

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of a Polynomial</u>

Given the roots x1, x2, and x3 of a cubic polynomial, the equation can be written as:

P(x)=a(x-x1)(x-x2)(x-x3)

Where a is the leading coefficient.

We know the three roots of the polynomial -6, -3, and 1, thus:

P(x)=a(x+6)(x+3)(x-1)

Since the y-intercept of the polynomial is y=90 when x=0:

90=a(0+6)(0+3)(0-1)

90=a(6)(3)(-1)=-18a

Thus

a = 90/(-18) = -5

The polynomial is:

P(x)=-5(x+6)(x+3)(x-1)

We must write it in standard form, so we have to multiply all of the factors as follows:

P(x)=-5(x^2+6x+3x+18)(x-1)

P(x)=-5(x^2+9x+18)(x-1)

P(x)=-5(x^3-x^2+9x^2-9x+18x-18)

P(x)=-5(x^3+8x^2+9x-18)

\boxed{P(x)=-5x^3-40x^2-45x+90}

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

For 4 times the original recipe  Lebron needs 12 cups of cranberry juice with  8 cups of apple juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

For 5 cups of punch Lebron needs 3 cups of cranberry juice with 2 cups of apple juice.

For 4 times the original recipe  Lebron needs 3*4= 12 cups of cranberry juice with 2*4= 8 cups of apple juice.

He will get 20 cups of punch.

We multiply each ingredient of the original recipe by the factor 4 to get the required ingredients of the 4 times product as the original product.
