On a hunch, I decided to check whether 729 is a 6th power, and found that it is:

729^(1/6) = 3.

Next, I decided to divide x-3 into x^6 + 0x^5 - 9x^4 + 0x^3 - 81x^2 + 0x + 729, through synthetic division and using 3 as my divisor. This left no remainder. The coefficients of the quotient were as follows: 3 3 0 0 -81 -243, which represents:

3x^5 + 3x^4 + 0x^3 + 0x^2 -81x -243

Next, I applied "factoring by grouping:"

3x^4(x+1) -81(x+3) = (x+3)(3x^4 - 81).

Note that 3x^4 - 81 is the same as 3(x^4-27).

Thus, the original polynomial factors into (x-3)(3)(x^4 - 27).

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

e. A census, because the wholesale prices of all items are listed.

Step-by-step explanation:

A census encompasses collecting data of an entire population as well evaluation of the characteristics of an entire population. Every item currently in store alongside their wholesale price was included in the survey here. None was excluded. So we cannot call the activity a sample survey. Since all items were counted, the best description to give to this activity is "a census".
