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.

Write a linear equation in slope-intercept form. m=-3 and contains (0,2)

katen-ka-za [31]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

y=-3x-2

<h3>Solution:</h3>

We have a point that the line passes through and its slope.
Since the point has an x-coordinate of 0, this point is the line's y-intercept (2)
Slope-intercept form: y=mx+b
m -> slope
b -> y-intercept
Plug in the values:
y=-3x-2

Hope it helps.

In parallelogram ABCD point K belongs to diagonal

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

$\dfrac{BE}{EC}=\dfrac{1}{3}.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider triangles BKE and DKA. In this triangles:

$\angle BKE=\angle DKA$ as vertical angles;
$\angle KBE=\angle KDA$ as alternate interior angles (lines BC and AD are parallel and BC is a transversal);
$\angle BEK=\angle DAK$ as alternate interior angles (lines BC and AD are parallel and BE is a transversal).
