(b) Write this product as an equivalent trinomial. equal to zero? Show how you arrived at your answer.
Show that this trinomial is also equal to zero at the larger value of x from part (a).
This is not a multiple choice question. Please help if you know how to do it.

a) The expression will be zero when x = -4 or 8

b) The trinomial equivalent of the expression is x²  - 4x  -  32

c) The trinomial equals to zero when x = 8

The given expression is (x  - 8)(x  + 4)

a) For what value of x will the expression be equal to zero

(x  - 8)(x  + 4)  =  0

This can  be split into:

x  -  8   =   0

That is,  x  = 8

x  +  4  =  0

That is,  x = -4

The expression (x  - 8)(x  + 4) equals to zero when x = -4 or x = 8

b) Write this product as an equivalent trinomial.

A trinomial is a polynomial expression with three terms

Expand (x - 8)(x + 4)

x² + 4x  - 8x - 32

x²  - 4x  -  32

c) Show that this trinomial is also equal to zero at the larger value of x from part (a)

The larger value of x from part (a) is 8

Substitute x = 8 into x²  - 4x  -  32

8² - 4(8)  -  32

=  64  -  32 - 32

=  0

the equation cos(35) =a/25 can be used to find the length of bc what is the length of bc? round to the nearest tenth

step-by-step explanation:

trapezoid

step-by-step explanation:

first i plotted all my points on a grid graph

i made sure all of them were in the correct quadrant

then i saw it was a trapezoid or a quadrilateral
