Algebra.Com's Answer #694724 by Boreal(15235) You can put this solution on YOUR website! From the roots, it is minus each of the x values above. \n" ); document.write( "f(x)=(x+2)(x+1)(x-3) \n" ); document.write( "D. \n" ); document.write( "Checks with x^3-7x-6. \n" ); document.write( "One can multiply it out, too, but the roots give the factors directly.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
