If x = -1 and x = 3 are the roots of a quadratic, what are the factors?

(x + 1) and (x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given x = h is a root of a polynomial then a factor is (x - h)

Given x = - 1 and x = 3 are roots of the quadratic , then the factors are

(x - (- 1) ) and (x - 3) , that is

(x + 1) and (x - 3)

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x

shift 4 units up, and 1 unit left.

it will translate f(x) = 3^x to g(x) = 3^(x+1) + 4
