Recall the equation that modeled the volume of the raised flower bed, y, in terms of the width of the box, y = x3 + 11x2 − 312x. Now, open the graphing tool and graph the equation. Remember, this equation represents the volume of a flower box, so neither the width nor the volume can be negative. Using the pointer, determine the x-intercept where the width is positive and the volume will change to positive as x increases.

From the attached graph, the x-intercept is (13, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The question equation is y = x³ + 11·x² - 312·x

To graph the equation, we find the value of y for a given value of x and we plot the values on a graph as follows;

x,              y

13,            0

14,            532

15,            1170

16,            1920

17,            2788

18,           3780

19,           4902

20,           6160

21,           7560

22,          9108

23,          10810

24,          12672

25,          14700

From the graph, the x-intercept can be found at at x = 13.

The x-intercept can also be obtained by equating the right hand side of the equation to 0 (y = 0 is the x -intercept) as follows;

0 = x³ + 11·x² - 312·x

Therefore, x = 0 is one of the x-intercepts

By dividing by x, we have

x² + 11·x - 312 = 0

By completing the square we have

x² + 11·x + (11/2)² = 312+(11/2)²

(x + 11/2)² = 1369/4

x + 11/2 = ±37/2

x = 37/2 - 11/2 = 13 or x = -37/2 - 11/2 = -24

Which gives the x-intercept as (13, 0).

the quotient is 4x^2 - 27x + 167 with a remainder of -996

step-by-step explanation:

in synthetic division, use -6 as the divisor and use the coefficients {4, -3, 5, 6}:

-6     )   4     -3     5     6

                -24   162 -1002

          4   -27   167   -996

thus, the quotient is 4x^2 - 27x + 167 with a remainder of -996.

note:   your "4x°-3x+5x+6" is ambiguous / incomplete.   i had to assume that you meant '4x^3 - 3x^2 + 5x + 6."

the function makes a strait line horizontally with no x intercept but a y intercept at 9.
