First we need to write the factors of the polynomial. In order for 1, 4, and -3 to be roots, they need to be the x values that make the polynomial equal 0.
(x - 1) = 0
That would be the factor for x = 1 because when we plug 1 in for x we get 1 - 1 which equals 0.
Multiply all the factors together.
(x-1)(x-4)(x+3)=0
Now FOIL.
The answer is -1280

Given: We have the given figure through which we can see
LK=16,
KJ=10,
LM=24,
MN=15
To Find: Whether KM || JN and the reasoning behind it.
Solution: Yes, KM || JN because
Explanation:
For this solution, we use the concept of Similar Triangles.
Now, KM || JN if ΔLKM ~ ΔLJN (i.e., if ΔLKM is similar to ΔLJN).
Now, ∠MLK=∠NLJ
To prove similarity of the two triangles, we have to show that the sides are proportional. In other words, LK:KJ = LM:LN
which is true as both sides simplify to
Thus, we see that ΔLKM ~ ΔLJN (i.e., if ΔLKM is similar to ΔLJN).
Therefore, KM || JN.
To come to the reasoning, notice that
In other words,
Answer:
x= 7/ 8 is the answer
