Answer with explanation:

→Consider a Polynomial

   \rightarrow ax^n+bx^{n-1}+cx^{n-2}+...........+d

→We will use rational root theorem to find out the factors of the polynomial.

  \rightarrow ax^n+bx^{n-1}+cx^{n-2}+...........+d\\\\\rightarrow a(x^n+\frac{bx^{n-1}}{a} +\frac{cx^{n-1}}{a}+..........+\frac{d}{a})

→Factors of d are

        =\pm 1 , .....\pm d\\\\ \text{Factors of a are}=\pm 1,.....\pm a\\\\ \pm\frac{d}{a}  

⇒Now,substitute these integers that is factors into Polynomial expression to find which expression is equal to Zero.These integers will be factor of Polynomial expression.

For example

 f(x)=x²-3 x+2

By rational root theorem ,roots of the polynomial can be , -1,1,2,-2.

f(1)=1²-3×1+2

   =1-3+2

   =0

f(2)=2²-3×2+2

   =4-6+2

  =0

So, 1 and 2 are root of the polynomial expression.

A gardener has 8 pounds of fertilizer. He packs the fertilizer into 5/8 pound bags. What is the maximum number of 5/8 pound bags he can pack?

so first you multiply 8 pounds times 5 from 5/8 which is 40/8 pounds bags
now how many 8s can fit in 40 
40 divided by 8 =5 
so he can pack 5 maximum bags
