The discriminant is b^2 -4ac
a = 1
b = -2
c = 4
discriminant = 4 -4 * 1 * 4 =
4 -16 =
-12
I get MINUS 12 as the answer but that isn't one of the choices.
I think it’s 22 or 23...I’m so sorry if it’s wrong :/
Add 13 to both sides
13 = 2x + 15x
Simplify right side
13 = 17x
Divide through by 17
13/17 = x
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
