Sorry this a lot. according to the synthetic division below, which of the following statements are true? -4| 3 7 -20 -12 20 3 -5 0 check all that apply. a. (x - 4) is a factor of 3x^2 + 7x - 20. b. (x + 4) is a factor of 3x^2 + 7x - 20. c. the number -4 is a root of f(x) = 3x^2 + 7x - 20. d. the number 4 is a root of f(x) = 3x^2 + 7x - 20. e. (3x^2 + 7x - 20) (x - 4) = (3x - 5) f. (3x^2 + 7x - 20) (x + 4) = (3x - 5)

there are lots of ways.   pick's theorem tells us if the vertices are lattice points the area a is

a = b/2 + i - 1

where b is the number of boundary lattice points and i is the number of interior lattice points.

in the figure i count b=16, i=50 so

a = 8 + 50 - 1 = 57

let's try the shoelace formula.   the area is half the sum of the cross products of the sides.  

a(-2,6)   -2(2)-6(-5) = 26

b(-5,2)   -5(-3) - 2(-2) = 19

c(-2,-3) -2(-3) - (-3)(4) = 18

d(4,-3)   4(3) - (-3)(5) = 27

e(5,3)   5(3) - 3(1) = 12

f(1,3)     1(6) - 3(-2) = 12

a(-2,6)

each of the cross products is twice the area of the triangle with the associated side and one vertex the origin. so the area of abo=26/2=13.

area = (1/2) (26 + 19 +   18 + 27 + 12 + 12) = 57

that checks!
