For the polynomial function below rewrite the polynomial in standard form. Then state its degree and constant term. f(x) = (x + 1) (x + 3) ( x - 4)

x^3-13x-12

Step-by-step explanation:

deg(f)=3 the constant term is -12

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.

the answer for this question is a= 13,622.84
