Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
I was working on this problem also.
Maybe my version will help, too.
You need to sketch f given the information you have.
f'(x) is approximately a a cubic polynomial which means f will look like a quartic (think W)
f slopes down (negative slope) to x=2 and then slopes down again...this is a horizontal tangent.
f then slopes down to to x=5 where is has a minimum and then slopes up.
if im not wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
If x + 7 is a factor of f(x), then f(-7) = 0.
f(-7) = (-7)³ − 3(-7)² + 2(-7) − 8
f(-7) = -343 − 147 − 14 − 8
f(-7) = -512
x + 7 is not a factor of f(x).
Answer:
If you're looking to make a math equation then:
8x - 4 = 2
First subtract the three from both sides
