Difference of a number and -3 is 6. what is the number

1 answer:

5 0

Let x = the number we are looking for:

Difference means that we subtract:

$x-(-3)=6$

Two negative signs turn it into one positive sign (a plus):

$x+3=6$

We need to get x by itself, so we subtract 3 from both sides:

$x=3$

So now we know that the number we were asked to find is 3.

Write a polynomial equation that is best represented by the graph.

Agata [3.3K]

So we gots apolynomial equation that is 3rd degree and crosses x axis at x=-1, x=0 and x=2

the factors of a poly equation that passes through r1,r2,r3 is
(x-r1)(x-r2)(x-r3)

so
r1=-1
r2=0
r3=2
f(x)=(x-(-1))(x-0)(x-2)
f(x)=(x+1)(x)(x-2)
f(x)=x³-x²-2x
leading coefient is posiitve because 3rd degree equations that are postive go bottom left to top right
yah
actually that looks like the exact graph

both
f(x)=(x+1)(x)(x-2)
and
f(x)=x³-x²-2x
are correct
