Answer:
x = -3 and x = -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
After writing down the polynomial, split it; put a line between 3x^2 and -18x. Look and 2x^3 + 3x^2 and -18x - 27 separately and factor them both:
p(x) = 2x^3 + 3x^2 <u>- 18x -27</u>
p(x) = x^2(2x+3) <u>-9(2x+3)</u>
Now notice how x^2 and -9 have the same factor (2x+3). That means x^2 and -9 can go together:
p(x) = (x^2 - 9)(2x+3)
Factor it once more because there's a difference of squares:
p(x) = (x+3)(x-3)(2x+3)
Now just plug in whatever makes the each bracket equal 0:
x = -3, x = 3, and x = -3/2
Those are your zeros.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to complete the square.
C(x) = 0.02(x^2 - 1000x ...) + 11000
C(x) = 0.02 (x^2 - 1000x + 500^2) + 11000 - 5000
C(x) = 0.02 (x^2 - 1000x + 500^2) + 6000
C(x) = 0.02(x - 500)^2 + 6000
Now if you look at the answer you will find that the square is completed. That means that number of tractors you could produce is 500 at a cost of 6000
There is a flow to this question that you may have trouble understanding.
First of all the 500^2. That comes from taking 1/2 of 1000 and squaring it. That's what you need to complete the square.
Bur that is not what you have adding into the equation. Remember that there is a 0.02 in front of the brackets.
500^2 = 250000
0.02 * 250000 = 5000
So that number must be subtracted to make the square = 0. When you remove the brackets, you should get 11000 all in all.
So what you have outside the brackets is 11000 - 5000 = 6000
The rest is just standard for completing the square.
Distance=speed times time
distance=30mi
speed=15mph
t=t
so
30=15 times t
divide both sides by 15
2=t
2 hours
