Given the function f(x) = 3x^3-10x^2+7x+10
Write f(x) as a product of linear factors.
Ok so this is what I have done so far:
P: +-1, +-2, +-5,+-10
Q: +-1, +-3
P/Q = +-1,+-2,+-5,+-10, +-1/3, +- 2/3, +-5/3, +-10/3

On the calculator I pressed 2nd trace and value and found that when x= -2/3, y=0. So that has to be one zero for sure. Just to make sure it was, I used synthetic division and the remainder was zero.
-2/3 / 3 -10 7 10
___-2_ 8_-10____
3 -12 15 -10
so I brought the equation down
3x^2-12x-15
factored: 3(x-5)(x+1)
x= 5, x = -1
Now this is where I am stuck..when I graphed the first equation..it only had one zero....which was -2/3
Now how do I write f(x) as a product of linear factors
So basically writing the same equation as given in a different form with all zeros.
Can someone help me please?
Thanks.

Now before you answer consider these details.
1. They gave me a paper citation (not the actual ticket), and told me a ticket would come in the mail.
2. I made the mistake of telling the police officer that my parents already knew I smoked, which may have inspired him to teach me a lesson by making sure I get the ticket.

but....
3. They made me call my parents and they had to leave a voice mail saying they knew about the citation (basically, the cop made me tell my parents), so maybe he thought that was enough punishment.
and
4. I've heard of other people who have gotten citations and who's tickets never came.

By the way, I live in Minnesota and was pulled over in Champlin where the cops are usually jerks. Please no answers lecturing me on not smoking. I just want to know if I should be expecting the ticket or if the officer was just trying to scare me.

Even Bill Maher hates them:

I went to a memorial service in Manhattan on 9/11, and they were all over the damn place. The NYPD let them stand across the street and chant "9/11 was an inside job!"
So, would anyone here object to making it legal to beat them until red snotbubbles come out of their nose?

The plane's altitude is 6 miles. Suppose that when the distance between the plane and the radar station is 10 miles, this distance is increasing at a rate of 500 miles per hour. Find the speed of the plane.

^this is all that is given and the following is my own attempt.
I'm in calculus and it's dealing with relative rate.

also ive gotten this so far but cant seem to get the right answer, although i dont know what it is. i am using an online homework machine so it tells me when its right or wrong.

given: when g=10miles dg/dt=500 mi/h
goal: find d(angle)/dt
Equation: Tan(angle) = 1/6 * g
soln: sec^2(angle) * d(angle)/dt = d/dt(1/6*g)
136/36 *d(angle)/dt = 1/6 * dg/dt
136/36 * d(angle)/dt = 500/6
d(angle)/dt = 500/6 * 36/136
d(angle)/dt = 3000/136

and that is not hte answer and i'm not understanding what i am doing wrong.

please help!!!

Hillary says she has a lot of good ideas she will implement if elected president. Hopefully who ever is elected has ideas on how to repair the worlds opinion about America, how to clean up the illegal immigrant problem (not by giving amnesty to illegals or spend more tax payers money making them happy), get run away gas/oil costs in-check, prevent WWIII, and finish the job in Iraq and bring our troops home. Do we need someone who has a lot of good ideas or someone with solutions to the major issues facing our country for our next president? Why has she not told us what these "good ideas" are? Are they more ideas like give money to everyone in one hand and take twice the amount away with the other?

I'm five weeks pregnant and so excited.
He isn't excited. At all.
He also has a habit of, or maybe a fetish for... Ejaculating inside of me. I explained to him a long time ago that although I am not against abortion, I couldn't do it.
I asked him if he was trying to get me pregnant, and he would joke around about it.

Now that I'm pregnant he says he's not ready. I cry my eyes out every time I think of having an abortion, but at the same time I grew up a single child and the last thing I want is to raise this child on my own dealing with a father who begrudgingly takes part in his child's life.

I understand the obvious answers, I.E. you should have used a condom (duh) and abortion is murder.

I would truly appreciate it if anyone out there has a little kind advice or maybe some ideas about benefits for single mothers in California.
I really don't want to give the baby up but its so daunting thinking about doing this on my own.
How can I be fair to him and to the baby?

At the end of WW11 many nations disbanded their battle hardened Jungle troops who served in the various African, Asian and Pacific compaings. It predominately being the still intact British Empire that retained its Jungle troops comprised of various commonwealth units in-concert with its own.

The Malayan war necessitating their active deployment in a bitter jungle war of almost 30 years.

At the same time Indo China tensions mounted leading to the demise of the French in the 50's. Thus the foundations of the Vietnam War were laid and unknowingly not even remotely considered.

Deterioration erupted into the Vietnam War & America hasted to the rescue bereft of its WW11 Jungle Combat Veterans Many nations remained on the sidelines.

Appealing for help the USA's WW11 former allies offered Instructors, small troop contingents to initially retrain US soldiers in Jungle warfare.

The US Military still refuses to acknowledge this and the service of countless FN's. Why?

I know I shouldn't have done this but I've been waxing my cheeks and now I have these terrible little red bumps everywhere. Some look like they are whiteheads, red bumps and clogged pores :(
Quick solutions? They are all over my cheeks so I don't want to dry it out with alcohol or anything and pay for the repercussions of fine lines later...

This is two days after waxing and they are not going away...
