A polynomial f (x) has the given zeros of 8, –1, and –3. Part A: Using the Factor Theorem, determine the polynomial f (x) in expanded form. Show all necessary calculations.

Part B: Divide the polynomial f (x) by (x2 – x – 2) to create a rational function g(x) in simplest factored form. Determine g(x) and find its slant asymptote.

Part C: List all locations and types of discontinuities of the function g(x).

answer: 33 ( approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, in the linear regression formula, the slope is the a in the equation y = b + ax ( by comparing it with the general equation of line y = mx + c )

where,

here given table is,

price ($), x   :           18         23       25       29       30       33

pairs sold, y :         16         13         10       8         6       2

so, ,   ,   ,

and   ,

thus, slop of the given line is,

⇒  

⇒   ≈ 33
