A. True
Explanation-

Let p(x) = x^3 – 7x^2 – 15x – 9

For checking that (x – 3) is a factor of p(x), we find : p(3)

p(3) = (3)^3 – 7(3)^2 + 15(3) – 9

= 27 – 63 + 45 – 9

= 72 – 72

= 0

Hence, (x – 3) is a factor of p(x).

By division of p(x) by x – 3, we get the quotient

= x^2 – 4x + 3

∴ x^3 – 7x^2 + 15x – 9

= (x – 3)(x^2 – 4x + 3)

= (x – 3)(x – 3)(x – 1)

= (x – 3)^2(x – 1)

What is the value of (8 + 3a) x a when a = 1/3
saw5 [17]
The given equation is:
(8+3a) * a

To get the value at a=1/3, we will substitute the value of a in the given equation with 1/3 and compute the result as follows:
(8+3(1/3)) * (1/3)
(8+1)*(1/3)
(9) * (1/3) = 3

The number line can be used to compare two or more numbers to determine which one is greater.

For any two given numbers on the number line, the one to the right is greater than the one to the left.

In other words, all numbers to the left are less than those to the right given any two numbers on the number line.

-8is to the left of
0on the number line,

\therefore -8 \: \: < \: \: 0.
