I would graph this to visualize it, and then do rise over run, or y/x to find the slope... Or you can use the formula y1-y2/x1-x2... where y1 is 8, y2 is 5, and the same with x... Hope this helps ;)
Answer:
answer is 13 plus 26 is equal to 39
The polynomial is (mx^3+3)(2x²+5x+2)-(8x^5 +20x^4)
if it is reduced to 8x^3+6x²+15x+6, so we can find the value of m
(mx^3+3)(2x²+5x+2)-(8x^5+20x^4) = <span>8x^3+6x²+15x+6
</span>2mx^5+5mx^4+2mx^3+6x²+15x+6-8x^5-20x^4=<span>8x^3+6x²+15x+6
</span>2mx^5+5mx^4+2mx^3=8x^3+6x²+15x+6-6x²-15x-6+ <span>8x^5+20x^4
</span>= 8x^5+20x^4+<span>8x^3= 4(2x^5+5x^4+2x^3)
finally
</span>m(2x^5+5x^4+2x^3)=<span>4(2x^5+5x^4+2x^3), and after simplification
</span>
C: m=4
<span>4. When the expression is factored x²-3x-18 completely,
</span>
one of its factor is x-6
<span>x²-3x-18=0
</span>D= 9-4(-18)= 81, sqrtD=9 x=3-9/2= -6/2= -3, and x=3+9 / 2= 6
so <span>x²-3x-18= (x-6)(x+6)
</span>
