The polynomial P(3) is not equal to zero, hence the function x - 3 is not a factor of the polynomial function given

Given the polynomial function of degree 3 expressed as

p(x) =x³-3x²-2x-6

In order to determine whether x - 3 is a factor, we will follow the simple steps below;

Let r(x) = x- 3

Since x - 3 is a factor, hence r(x) = 0]

x - 3 = 0

]x = 3

Substitute x = 3 into the polynomial function to see if p(3) = 0

P(3) = x³-3x²-2x-6

P(3) = 3³-3(3)²-2(3)-6

P(3) = 27 - 27 - 6 - 6

P(3) = -6-6

P(3) = -12

Since the polynomial P(3) is not equal to zero, hence the function x - 3 is not a factor of the polynomial function given

On an airplane, there are two seats on the left side in each row and three seats on the right
pogonyaev

Answer:

a)64

b)96

Step-by-step explanation:

For this we calculate the number of rows, 32, as 2+3 is 5, and 160/5 is 32. Then we know that there are 32 rows, and in each row are 2 left seats and 3 right seats, so we multiply 32 by both numbers for the answers.
