Answer:
<em>a = 1 ; b = - 8 </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 2x - 7 = (x² + 2x + 1) - 1 - 7 =<u><em> (x + 1)² - 8 </em></u>
<em>a = 1 </em>
<em>b = - 8</em>
Answer: a is in quadratic form
To solve this we just need a polynomial where the roots can be -10 so in (x -/+ N)
The Ns must equal -10
We also know there must be at least a degree of 2 or higher, so we want X^3 or 3 roots. Given this we can construct our function;
H(x) = (X-2)(X+5)(X+1)
1*5*-2 = -10
So multiplying that out to get the standard form
X^2-2X+5X-10(X+1)
Simplifying to X^2 +3X-10(X+1)
X^3+3X^2-10X + X^2 +3X -10
Which simplifies to:
X^3+4X^2-7X-10
And below the desmos shows the y-int at (0,-10)
<span>The correct answer for this item is letter A. The number line is a graph of the real numbers. The center part of the number line is zero. To the right of this digit are the positive integers and to its left are the negative integers. Both extend indefinitely or depending on the desires of the maker of the number line. </span>
