Answer:
• zero: -4, -4/3, 7
• positive: -4 < x < -4/3 . . . or 7 < x
• negative: x < -4 . . . or -4/3 < x < 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Zeros of the function are at x=-4, -4/3, +7. These are the values that make each of the individual factors be zero. For example, x-7=0 when x=7.
The function will be negative for x-values left of an odd number of zeros. It will be positive for x-values left of an even number of zeros (including left of no zeros, which is to say right of all zeros). This is because the sign of the factor giving rise to the zero changes for x-values on either side of that zero. (This is not true for zeros with even multiplicity, as the sign does not change at those.)
Answer:
c. (x + 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
using factor theorem
if x - 3 is a factor then p(a) = 0
p(a)= x^3 - 3x^2 - 4x + 12
a.(x-3)
p(3) = (3)^3 - 3(3)^2 - 4(3) + 12
= 27 - 27 - 12 + 12
= 0
therefore x-3 is a factor
b.(x + 2)
p(-2) = (-2)^3 - 3(-2)^2 - 4(-2) + 12
= -8 -12 + 8 + 12
,= 0
therefore x + 2 is a factor
c.(x + 3)
p(-3) = (-3)^3 - 3(-3)^2 - 4(-3) + 12
= -27 -27 + 12 + 12
= -30
therefore x + 3 is not a factor
d.(x-2)
p(2) = (2)^3 - 3(2)^2 - 4(2) + 12
= 8 -12 - 8 + 12
= 0
therefore x - 2 is a factor
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of the difference of x and 5 and the sum of x and 3
Assuming you don't know the exact numbers, we can sequentially figure out the number of inches in a mile and seconds in a day
Inches in a mile:
There are 5280 feet in a mile.
5280*12 = 63360 inches in a mile
Seconds in a day:
There are 24 hours in a day
There are 24*60 = 1440 minutes in a day
There are 1440*60 = 86400 seconds in a day
There are more seconds in a day than inches in a mile.
