What are the factors of -24 that have a sum of 5?

Step-by-step explanation:

5 Easy as 1-2-3

5 is a prime number.

Prime factorization: 5 is prime.

The exponent of prime number 5 is 1. Adding 1 to that exponent we get (1 + 1) = 2. Therefore 5 has exactly 2 factors.

Factors of 5: 1, 5.

Factor pairs: 5 = 1 x 5.

5 has no square factors that allow its square root to be simplified. √5 ≈ 2.236.

the answer is a) y= 2 csc [0.5 (x+pi/2)]-1

step-by-step explanation:

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.
