Ms Remez is planting a blueberry bush on her front porch. The ceramic pot for the plant weighs 10 pounds. She puts 4 pounds of soil in the pot. 2 pounds of water, seeds, which weighs one pound. What is the static load of the structure and its exact weight? What are the dynamic loads and their exact weight? What is the total load and it’s exact weight? Lastly identify one reason why the total load of the plant may change

Answer is in the photo. I couldn't attach it here, but uploaded it to a file hosting. link below! Good Luck!

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.
