Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 4 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 1 )

m = $\frac{-1-4}{2-(-3)}$ = $\frac{-5}{2+3}$ = $\frac{-5}{5}$ = - 1 → A

P(x)=x^3+2x^2-4x-8 how do you factor this polynomial function

Wewaii [24]

<h2>Steps:</h2>

So for this, I will be factoring by grouping. Firstly, factor x³ + 2x² and -4x - 8 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity inside of the parentheses:

$p(x)=x^2(x+2)-4(x+2)$

Now we can rewrite it as:

$p(x)=(x^2-4)(x+2)$

However, we aren't finished factoring yet. The first factor, x² - 4, can be factored further using the difference of squares. The difference of squares goes by the formula here: $x^2-y^2=(x+y)(x-y)$ . In this case:
