The segments shown below could form a triangle.

The answer is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given line segments are :

AC = 9

CB = 8

AB = 17

As per the triangle inequality theorem the sum of any 2 sides should be greater than the third side. This should be true to all the three combinations.

=> => (not true)

=> => ( true)

=> => (true)

As we can see only two conditions are fulfilled not the third one, so the triangle cannot be formed.

The answer is false.

step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^3 -2x^2 -3x

x( x^2 -2x-3)

x( x^2 +x -3x -3)

x( x(x+1) -3(x+1))

x( x-3)( x+1)

so zeroes are 0, 3,-1
