Answer:

  -3, 1, 4 are the x-intercepts

Step-by-step explanation:

The remainder theorem tells you that dividing a polynomial f(x) by (x-a) will result in a remainder that is the value of f(a). That remainder will be zero when (x-a) is a factor of f(x).

In terms of finding x-intercepts, this means we can reduce the degree of the polynomial by factoring out the factor (x-a) we found when we find a value of "a" that makes f(a) = 0.

__

For the given polynomial, we notice that the sum of the coefficients is zero:

  1 -2 -11 +12 = 0

This means that x=1 is a zero of the polynomial, and we have found the first x-intercept point we can plot on the given number line.

Using synthetic division to find the quotient (and remainder) from division by (x-1), we see that ...

  f(x) = (x -1)(x² -x -12)

We know a couple of factors of 12 that differ by 1 are 3 and 4, so we suspect the quadratic factor above can be factored to give ...

  f(x) = (x -1)(x -4)(x +3)

Synthetic division confirms that the remainder from division by (x -4) is zero, so x=4 is another x-intercept. The result of the synthetic division confirms that x=-3 is the remaining x-intercept.

The x-intercepts of f(x) are -3, 1, 4. These are the points you want to plot on your number line.

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

x + 14 \leq 20, x = 6 ton

Step-by-step explanation:

The truck can be filled with a total of 20 ton.

There are already 14 ton inside the truck, so if we call x the weight of goods that we can still add into the truck, we know that (x+14) must be equal at most at 20. Therefore, the inequality becomes:

x+14\leq 20

Solving it, we find

x\leq 6

which means that the most amount of goods that could be added to the truck is 6 tons.
