Answer: {(x + 2), (x - 1), (x - 3)}
Step-by-step explanation:
Presented symbolically, we have:
x^3 - 2x^2 - 5x + 6
Synthetic division is very useful for determining roots of polynomials. Once we have roots, we can easily write the corresponding factors.
Write out possible factors of 6: {±1, ±2, ±3, ±6}
Let's determine whether or not -2 is a root. Set up synthetic division as follows:
-2 / 1 -2 -5 6
-2 8 -6
-----------------------
1 -4 3 0
since the remainder is zero, we know for sure that -2 is a root and (x + 2) is a factor of the given polynomial. The coefficients of the product of the remaining two factors are {1, -4, 3}. This trinomial factors easily into {(x -1), (x - 3)}.
Thus, the three factors of the given polynomial are {(x + 2), (x - 1), (x - 3)}
B should be the correct answer
Every point on this line has the same y coordinate, which is -2. There is no "rise" at all so rise = 0 while the "run" is any nonzero value you want. If you made the run be say 2, then
slope = rise/run = 0/2 = 0
The slope is 0
Answer: D) 0
note: all horizontal lines like this have a slope of 0. It doesn't matter what the y intercept is
Answer:
(20 + 60) + (3 + 7) + (0.4 + 0.3) + (0.05 + 0.01)
Answer:
Remember the interior and exterior angle add up to 180°.
