To solve this problem you need to know the law of cosines.
Answer:
5x+8=26.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the books are equal in price, we can use x to represent the price of the books and 5 to represent the amount, so it would be written as 5x. Then we add 8 because that's the price of the one DVD. It tells the total is 26.50, so the full equation written would be <u>5x+8=26.50</u>

The zeros for this function are -2, -1 and a double root of 0.
You can find this by first factoring the polynomial on the inside of the parenthesis. Polynomials like this can be factored by looking for two numbers that multiply to the constant (2) and add up to the second coefficient (3). The numbers 2 and 1 satisfy both of those needs and thus can be used as the numbers in a factoring.
x^2(x^2 + 3x + 2)
x^2(x + 2)(x + 1)
Now to find the zeros, we set each part equal to 0. You may want to split the x^2 into two separate x's for this purpose.
(x)(x)(x + 2)(x + 1)
x = 0
x = 0
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
x + 1 = 0
x = -1
