Izara built a fence for her horses. The fence was 210 feet long. She put a fence post in the ground at the start of the fence and another fence post every 3 12 feet. Izara paid $8.50 for each fence post. How much did Izara pay for all the fence posts she used?
A. $297.50
B. $518.50
C. $595.00
D. $765.00

this is not the answer this is just a question. is this middle school math?

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 1/4

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.
