Rewrite f(x)=3x^4 - 9x^2 - 12 in factored form if f(2) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^4 - 9x^2 - 12 = 0

x^4 - 3x^2 - 4 = 0

x^2 = [3 ± √(3^2-4(1)(-4))]/[2(1)] = [3 ± 5]/2 = 4,-1

f(x) = 3(x^2-4)(x^2+1) = 3(x+2)(x-2)(x^2+1)

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )
