Note that it said find "a" formula for P(x).  We can infer from this as there are multiple possibilities.
In fact, there are many possible P(x) that fits the bill.
You got the most important part correct, namely
(x+5)(x-5)^2.
In general, P(x)=A(x+5)(x-5)^2 will work, but we need to satisfy also y-intercept of P(0)=-75.
If we expand the expression, we get 
P(x)=A*x^3A-5A*x^2-25A*x+125A
=>
P(0)=125A.
So setting A=-3/5 => P(0)=-75 as required.
or 
P(x)=-3/5(x+5)(x-5)^2
will satisfy all requirements.
It would be nice exercise for you to confirm that it is indeed the polynomial required.

Ur 2 angles, when added, form a line....so they are a linear pair that equals 180

5k - 3 + 9 + k = 180
6k + 6 = 180
6k = 180 - 6
6k = 174
k = 174/6
k = 29

How to find the maximum or minimum value of a quadratic function?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Vertex form

Step-by-step explanation:

You convert to  vertex form  a(x - b)^2 + c . The coordinates of the maxm/minm will be (b, c).

For example find minimum value of  x^2 + 5x - 6:-

x^2 + 5x - 6

=  (x + 2.5)^2 - 6.25 - 6

= (x + 2.5)^2 - 12.25

The coordinates of minimumm will be (-2.5, -12.25)  The values of the minimum of the function is -12.25
