Answer:

The correct answer is x^2 + x + 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

A prime polynomial is one that cannot be factored. To solve this problem, we can use the process of elimination by eliminating all answer choices that can be factored.

x^2 - x - 2 = (x - 2)*(x + 1)

x^2 - 12x + 11 = (x - 11)*(x - 1)

x^2 + 2x - 8 = (x + 4)*(x - 2)

Since we cannot factor x^2 + x + 1, and we can factor all of the other answer choices, we know that x^2 + x + 1 is the answer.

Hope this helps!

The pree tax amount count as 100%, then there's the 7% tax and lastly the 20% tip. therefore, one would pay (100+20+7)% of $84.00.
127% of $84.00
(127/100) * $84.00 = $106.68
