Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a third degree polynomial since we have 3 zeros. We find these zeros by factoring the given polynomial. The zeros of a polynomial are where the graph of the function goes through the x-axis (where y = 0). If x = -4, the factor that gives us this value is (x + 4) = 0 and solving that for x, we get x = -4. If x = -2, the factor that gives us that value is (x + 2) = 0 and solving that for x, we get x = -2. Same for the 5. The way we find the polynomial that gave us these zeros is to go backwards from the factors and FOIL them out. That means that we need to find the product of
(x + 4)(x + 2)(x - 5). Do the first 2 terms, then multiply in the third.
, which simplifies to

No we multiply in the final factor of (x - 5):
which simplifies to

If you are aware of the method for factoring higher degree polymomials, which is to use the Rational Root Theorem and synthetic division, you will see that this factors to x = -4, -2, 5. If you know how to use your calculator, you will find the same zeros in your solving polynomials function in your apps.

- 3 * x + 2 = 8 * x - 8, you can calculate this using the following steps:<span>
- 7 * x - 3 * x
+ 2 = 8 * x - 8

x = 10 / 18

The slope of the original line is 1 so the perpendicular slop is -1
Answer:
The bags would weigh 27lbs. multiply 4 1/2 and6 and you get 27lbs.
See it is < and not ≤ so we don't include -4
put a circle around -4 but don't shade it in
to get there, move 4 units left from 0
then we see x is less than -4
so shade to the left of the circle
