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)

The vertex of this parabola is at (2, -4). When the y-value is -1, the x-value is 3. What is the coefficient of the squared term
rjkz [21]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k) = (2, - 4) , thus

y = a(x - 2)² - 4

To find a substitute (3, - 1 ) into the equation

- 1 = a(3 - 2)² - 4 ( add 4 to both sides )

3 = a

Thus

y = 3(x - 2)2 - 4 ← equation in vertex form

   = 3(x² - 4x + 4) + 4

    = 3x² - 12x + 12 + 4

     = 3x² - 12x + 16 ← equation in standard form

with coefficient of x² term = 3
