Answer: -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The most simple is

P(x)=x³+3x²+ax-12

P(-3)=0=(-3)³+3*(-3)²+a*(-3)-12=-3a-12

-3a-12=0

3a=-12

a=-4

Answer:   -4

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x)=x^3+3x^2+ax-12

x+3 is factors means it divide completely so x=-3

p(-3)=(-3)^3+3(-3)^2+a(-3)-12

  -27+27-3a-12=0

 -3a-12=0

3a=-12

a=-12/3

a=-4

Which expression is equivalent to 3m+1-m?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

option  (a) is correct.

2 + m - 1 + m is an equivalent expression  to the given expression  3m+1-m

Step-by-step explanation:

 Given expression  3m+1-m

We have to choose an equivalent expression from given options.

Equivalent expression are those expression that looks different but are same.

Like 4+2 = 6  and 3+ 3 = 6

Both have same value but looks differently.

Like terms are term having same variable with same degree.

Consider the given expression  3m+1-m

Simplify by adding like terms,

3m + 1 - m = (3-1) m + 1

Thus, (3-1) m + 1  = 2m + 1

Also 2m + 1 can be written as m + m + 2 - 1

Thus, option  (a) is correct.

How many negative roots will this function have? f(x) = x^7 – 2x^4 + 7x^2 + 2x – 2<br> help plsss
Vikentia [17]

There are two negative roots to the provided polynomial function

f(x) = x⁷ – 2x⁴ + 7x² + 2x – 2

<h3>What is polynomial?</h3>

Polynomial is the combination of variables and constants systematically with "n" number of power in ascending or descending order.

\rm a_1x+a_2x^2+a_3x^3+a_4x^4..........a_nx^n

We have a polynomial function:

f(x) = x⁷ – 2x⁴ + 7x² + 2x – 2

\rm f(x) =\left(x+1\right)\left(x^6-x^5+x^4-3x^3+3x^2+4x-2\right)

Using the zero product property:

\rm \left x+1\right = 0 \ \ \ or \left x^6-x^5+x^4-3x^3+3x^2+4x-2\right = 0

After solving:

x = -1, x = -0.853, and x = 0.418 (using the graph method)

Thus, there are two negative roots to the provided polynomial function

f(x) = x⁷ – 2x⁴ + 7x² + 2x – 2
