Answer:180

Step-by-step explanation:

you start by finding the prime factorization of the number

5=1*5

9=3*3

12=2*2*3

the shortest way to find the factors is to find is most of them like example, at max, there are 2 two's, 2 three's and 1 five then you multiply them all together

4*9*5=180 and that's the answer

The degree of the function f(x) = -(x + 1)2(2x - 3)(x + 2)2 is<br> , and its y-intercept is

Serggg [28]

Answer:

Degree = 5

Y intercept = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

our function is given as

$f(x)=-(x+1)^2 \cdot (2x-3) \cdot (x+2)^2$

in the above polynomial our variable is x and it is being multiplied for 5 times. Hence the probable degree for the above polynomial is 5

In order to find the y intercept , we need to put x=0 in f(x) as y intercept is the point at which the function graphically meets y axis and where x = 0

Hence

$f(0)=-(0+1)^2 \cdot (2(0)-3) \cdot (0+2)^2$
