Is g(x)= (x-2)(x-9)(x-1) the factored form of f(x)=x^3+8x^2-11x-18

We can check to see if (x - 2)(x - 9)(x - 1) is the factored form of x^3 + 8x^2 - 11x - 18 by using foil.

(x - 2)(x - 9)(x - 1)

(x - 2)x^2 - x - 9x + 9

Combine like terms.

(x - 2)x^2 - 10x + 9

FOIL again.

x^3 - 10x^2 + 9x - 2x^2 + 20x - 18

Combine like terms.

x^3 - 12x^2 + 29x - 18

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.

the formula for the equation of a circle is (x – h)2+ (y – k)2 = r2, where (h, k) represents the coordinates of the center of the circle, and r represents the radius of the circle. if a circle is tangent to the x-axis at (3,0), this means it touches the x-axis at that point.
