Here is my answer :)

Unit 3 Project
Simplify each expression.
1.

(3b)5(8c)3

(3b)5(8c)3 = 243b5512c3
= 124416b5c3
2.

(7x - 2)(x + 4)

(7x - 2)(x + 4) = 7x2 – 2x + 28x – 8
= 7x2 + 26x - 8
3.

(6x2 - 10x + 4) - (x2 + 12x - 7)

(6x2 - 10x + 4) - (x2 + 12x - 7) = 5x2 + 2x + 11
4.

(2x3 + 9x2 - 2x + 7) ÷ (x + 2)

(2x3 + 9x2 - 2x + 7) ÷ (x + 2) =
-2

Then,
𝟐𝒙𝟐 + 𝟓𝒙 − 𝟏𝟐 +

𝒙+𝟐

Factor completely. If the polynomial is not factorable, write prime.
3x3y + x2y2 + x2y

5.

3x3y + x2y2 + x2y = xy( 3x2+ xy + x)

8r3 - 64s6

6.

8r3 - 64s6 = 8(r3 - 8s6)

For each function, complete each of the following.
a. Graph each function by making a table of values.
b. Determine consecutive integer values of x between which
each real zero is located.
c. Estimate the x-coordinate at which the relative maxima
and relative minima occur.
g(x) = x3 + 6x2 + 6x - 4

Solve each equation.

p3 + 8p2 = 18p
𝑝3 + 8𝑝2 − 18𝑝 = 0
𝒑(𝒑𝟐 + 𝟖𝒑 − 𝟏𝟖) = 𝟎

Using the zero factor principle:
𝑥=

−𝑏 ± √𝑏 2 − 4𝑎𝑐
2𝑎

For a = 1
b=8
c = -18
−8 + √82 − 4 ∗ 1 ∗ −18
𝑥=
2∗1
𝒙 = √𝟑𝟒 − 𝟒
−8 − √82 − 4 ∗ 1 ∗ −18
𝑥=
2∗1
𝒙 = −√𝟑𝟒 − 𝟒

10.

16x4 - x2 = 0

16x4 - x2 = 0
16x2(x2 - 1) = 0
16x2(x - 1)(x + 1) = 0
So, X1 = X2 = 0
X3 = 1
X4 = -1

Use synthetic substitution to find f(-2) and f(3).
11.

f(x) = 3x4 - 12x3 - 12x2 + 30x

For f(-2)
3(−2)4 − 12(−2)3 − 12(−2)2 + 30(−2) = 36

For f(3)
3(3)4 − 12(3)3 − 12(3)2 + 30(3) = 369
