Which of the following is not a factor of x^3 – 3x^2 – 4x + 12? A)
(x – 3)
B)
(x + 2)
C)
(x + 3)
D)
(x – 2)

c. (x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

using factor theorem

if x - 3 is a factor then p(a) = 0

p(a)= x^3 - 3x^2 - 4x + 12

a.(x-3)

p(3) = (3)^3 - 3(3)^2 - 4(3) + 12

= 27 - 27 - 12 + 12

= 0

therefore x-3 is a factor

b.(x + 2)

p(-2) = (-2)^3 - 3(-2)^2 - 4(-2) + 12

= -8 -12 + 8 + 12

,= 0

therefore x + 2 is a factor

c.(x + 3)

p(-3) = (-3)^3 - 3(-3)^2 - 4(-3) + 12

= -27 -27 + 12 + 12

= -30

therefore x + 3 is not a factor

d.(x-2)

p(2) = (2)^3 - 3(2)^2 - 4(2) + 12

= 8 -12 - 8 + 12

= 0

therefore x - 2 is a factor

step-by-step explanation:

sin(7pi/6 - pi/3)  

= sin(7pi/6 - 2pi/6)  

= sin(5pi/6)  

= sin(pi - pi/6)  

= sin(pi/6)  

= 1/2  

sin 7pi/6 - sin pi/3  

= sin (pi + pi/6) - sin pi/3  

= -sin pi/6 - sin pi/3  

= -1/2 - sqrt(3)/2  

= -(1+sqrt(3))2

i think the answer is b
