What are some advantages of writing the polynomial expression - 7x2 + 32x + 240 in factored form when interpreting this

situation?

Lindsay is creating a bridge out of dried pasta and glue. in her plans, she sketches the graph to determine the lengths of the noodles, in centimeters, needed for the arch to increase the length of the bridge in 1 centimeter increments. which function did lindsay use to create her design? f(x) = (x – 5)2 + 8 f(x) = –(x + 5)2 + 8 f(x) = 0.5(x + 5)2 + 8 f(x) = –0.5(x – 5)2 + 8

Match each polynomial with its factorization.

Jose predicted that he would sell 48 umbrellas. he actually sold 72 umbrellas. what are the values of a and b in the table below? round to the nearest tenth if necessary
