Which mathematical operation is represented in the phrase "15 more than q" A) +
B) ×
C) ÷
D) -

Step-by-step explanation:

More than always indicates "ADDITION". So the mathematical operation is "+".

A. +

Step-by-step explanation:

The key word in the phrase is "more than"

That signifies an increase of value which is addition's main function

If the number that was represented in the phrase is x, then we could write out an equation

x=q+15

(-1,-0.5)

step-by-step explanation:

1. when "a" is a root of a polynomial, (x -a) is a factor of it. for the three roots given, the factors of the desired polynomial are (x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3).

in order to make the leading coefficient be negative, we need to multiply this product by a negative number. any negative number will do, but we choose a small (magnitude) value that will eliminate the fraction: -2.

then

f(x) = -2(x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3) = -(x +2)(2x -1)(x -3)

= -(2x² +3x -2)(x -3)

= -(2x³ -3x² -11x +6)

f(x) = -2x³ +3x² +11x -6

2. a graph created by the desmos on-line graphing calculator is shown, and the zeros are highlighted.

3. as indicated in part 1, the multiplier of this equation can be anything and the zeros will remain the same. you want a negative leading coefficient, so the "anything" is restricted to any of the infinite number of numbers that will make that be the case.
