Factor of x^3-x^2-24x-36

Mathematics
1 answer:
Basile [38]3 years ago
5 0
The trial and error method is used to find an initial factor:
If we let f(x) = x³ - x² - 24x - 36 and all we have to do is sub' in values of x until
f(x) = 0, we can use this to find an initial factor by the factor theorem:
f(1) = (1)³ - (1)² - 24(1) - 36 = -60
f(2) = (2)³ - (2)² - 24(2) - 36 = -80
f(5) = (5)³ - (5)² - 24(5) - 36 = -56
*** f(6) = (6)³ - (6)² - 24(6) - 36 = 0 ***

f(6) = 0 so (x - 6) is a factor of f(x).
This means that: f(x) = x³ - x² - 24x - 36 = (x - 6)(ax² + bx + c).
To find a,b and c, use long division (or inspection) to divide x³ - x² - 24x - 36 by x - 6.
The other 2 factors of f(x) can then be found by factorizing the
ax² + bx + c quadratic the way you would with any other quadratic (i.e. by quadratic formula, CTS or inspection).

Answer:

g(x)=2x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying by a constant will stretch the graph as shown. The graph of g(x) appears to pass through (1,2), so g(x)=2x^2 is a reasonable guess (I can't see the answer choices).

4) What is the present value of $4000 received at the
Bingel [31]

Answer:

$11040

Step-by-step explanation:

first of all the question says that $4000 were earned in a year and asks for what the new vale would be after the next 3 years with a discount rate of 8%.

If 1 year=$4000,then 3 years=$12000

100%-8%=92% (this happens because there is still a remaining amount that still has a cost to it),so 12000*92%=$11040

There are 30 books on the library shelf, Sam noted that 1/6 of them are non fiction. Dan notes that 3/5 of the books are fiction
ehidna [41]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Fiction books:  (1/6) of 30 books = 5 books

Non-fiction books:  (3/5) of (30) books = 18 books

The subtotal here is 5 + 18, or 23.  

23 of the books are either fiction or non fiction.

30 - 23, or 7, of the books remain (are neither fiction nor non-fiction).
