Triangle ABC has side lengths 8 inches, 17 inches, and 15 inches. Sofia uses the following steps to conclude that triangle ABC i
s not a right triangle.
What mistake did Sofia make?
A Sofia made a calculation error.
B Sofia used the length of one of the legs as c when she should have used the length of the longest side as c.
C Sofia does not know if triangle ABC is a right triangle, so she cannot use the Pythagorean Theorem or its converse.
D Sofia’s conclusion is incorrect. When the sides of a triangle do not satisfy a2+b2=c2, you cannot conclude that the triangle is a right triangle.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The roots of the polynomial are the values of x when the value of the polynomial f(x) is equal to zero
The roots of the polynomial function are
x=-6 -----> (x+6)=0
x=-5 -----> (x+5)=0
x=-1 -----> (x+1)=0
The equation of the cubic polynomial is
where
a is the leading coefficient
Remember that
f(0)=60
That means ------> For x=0 the value of f(x) is equal to 60
substitute the value of x and the value of y in the function and solve for a
so
Applying the distributive property
