Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (x + 3)(x + 2)(x - 3)

The three roots are going to give - 18 so only A and D can be correct. Why minus? because at some point 3 and 2 and - 3 will all be multiplied together. When they are, the result is - 18

So why did I write x + 2 rather than x - 2? Because the roots turn an equation into 0. You are looking for a way to make x + 2 = 0. It will do that when x = - 2

which is what you were given.

Now to get the answer

(x - 3)(x + 3) = x^2 - 9

(x^2 - 9)(x + 2) = x^3 + 2x^2 - 9x - 18 = f(x)

Consider firing a pumpkin from a canon at a target that is 17 meters away. The pumpkin follows a quadratic path as displayed to

A.
(0,00
(2.6,7.9)
(4.8,12.4)
(9.7,15.1)

b.
well, the points don't look like they are on the line but they actually are (plot twist)

so
since (0,0) is on th egarph

0=a(0)²+b(0)+c
0=c
so
f(x)=ax²+bx+0 or
f(x)=ax²+bx

find a and b
sub points

(2.6,7.9)
7.9=a(2.6)²+b(2.6)
7.9=6.76a+2.6b

(4.8,12.4)
12.4=a(4.8)²+b(4.8)
12.4=23.04a+4.8b

use those 2 equations
7.9=6.76a+2.6b
12.4=23.04a+4.8b

eliminate b
multiply first equation by -4.8 and 2nd by 2.6 and add them
-37.92=-32.448a-12.48b
32.24=59.904a-12.48b +
-5.68=27.456a+0b

-5.68=27.456a
divide both sides by 27.456
(-5.68/27.456)=a
find b

12.4=23.04a+4.8b
12.4=(-130.8672/27.456)+4.8b
12.4+(130.8672/27.456)=4.8b
(12.4+(130.8672/27.456))/4.8=b

da equation is
$y= \frac{-5.68}{27.456} x^2+ \frac{12.4+\frac{130.8672}{27.456}}{4.8}x$

c. the roots are found with your calculator
the roots are at x=0 and x=17.287323943662
so very close to the target but not exactly on it
if the target has a radius of 0.287323943662 or more then it will hit the target
