1 answer:
Answer:
(x +2)(x -4)(x -5)
Step-by-step explanation:
When you divide the cubic by (x +2), the factor that has -2 as a root, you get a quadratic with roots 4 and 5. Thus the factors are ...
(x +2)(x -4)(x -5)
___
In the attachment, we have done the division using a graphing calculator. You can also do it by polynomial long division or by synthetic division. The resulting quadratic is ...
x^2 -9x +20 = (x -4)(x -5) . . . . . factor the quadratic

Answer:
Volume of Gold = 0.4 cubic feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
First we have to make sure the units are same as the units the answer is required in.
Answer should be given in cubic feet.
Density is given in pounds per cubic foot. And Mass is given in pounds. So units are in order. Therefore, we can go ahead with the calculation.
The Density of Gold = [Mass of Gold/Volume of Gold]
By substituting values,
ponds per cubic foot = [
pounds / Volume of gold]
Making Volume of God the subject of the equation,
Volume of Gold = [ pounds / tex]1204[/tex] ponds per cubic foot ]
Volume of Gold = 0.4 cubic feet.
