Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

using the Factor theorem.

If (x + h) is a factor of f(x) then f(- h) = 0

for factor (x + 3) then evaluate P(- 3)

P(- 3) = (- 3)³ - 5(- 3)² + 3(- 3) + 9 = - 27 - 45 - 9 + 9 = - 72

since f(- 3) ≠ 0 then (x + 3) is not a factor of P(x)

Slope intercept form is y=MX+b.
M is the slope, x is the x intercept, and b is the y intercept

the slope is
$\frac{ - 2}{1}$
An intercept is where the formula crosses the axis. therefore, the x intercept is .5, and the y intercept is 1
so the point slope formula is
$y = \frac{ - 2}{1} 0.5 + 1$

A camera store developed 2100 rolls of film in one month. Customers wanted double prints from 1500 of these rolls. What is the r

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

the answer is 5:7

Step-by-step explanation:

as a fraction, the ratio looks like this:

1500/2100

where 1500 is the number of rolls with double prints and 2100 is the amount of rolls developed.

if you simplify the fraction, you get 5/7.

5/7 is 5:7 written as a ratio in this problem.

hope this helped!!
