You have a box that is a good size for your dvd collection. two rows of dvd's will fit in the box. the box is 10 inches. each dvd is 5/8 inches wide. how many dvd's will fit in the box?

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.

12 cups   is the answer

step-by-step explanation:

if you get paid hourly because if you get a salary you could work all week and only get paid a certain amount no matter how much you work but if you get paid hourly then you get paid for every minute you worked.
