The answer for the question above is the B/Second one or
Y=3(1/3)^x
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)
Try this option, all the details are in the attachment. Note the equation a) is performed with green, the equation b) with red line.
With break green line is the cureve y= -x²; with break red line is y=2x².
All you must do is multiply 4 by 1 and 1/4, so 5 total pounds.
