Answer:

  • <u>x + 2 is not a factor</u>

Explanation:

The answer choices are:

  • a. x + 5
  • b. x + 4
  • c. x + 3
  • d. x + 2

<h2>Solution</h2>

The<em> remainder theorem</em> states that the remainder of the division of a polynomial f(x) by a factor x - a is equal to f(a).

Therefore, when f(a) = 0, the remainder is zero and x - a is a factor of the polynomial.

Then, you must find f(a) for each of the factors on the choices:

a. x + 5

⇒ a = - 5

      f(-5)=(-5)^3+12(-5)^2+47(-5)+60=-125+300-235+60=0

Since f(-5) = 0, x + 5 is a factor of the polynomial.

b. x + 4

⇒ a = - 4

     f(-4)=(-4)^3+12(-4)^2+47(-4)+60=-64+192-188+60=0

Since f(-4) = 0, x + 4 is a factor.

c. x + 3

      f(-3)=(-3)^3+12(-3)^2+47(-3)+60=-27+108-141+60=0

Since f(-3) = 0, x + 3 is a factor.

d. x + 2

       f(-2)=(-4)^3+12(-2)^2+47(-2)+60=-8+48-94+60=6

Since f(-2) ≠ 0, x + 2 is not a factor ← answer

Maria has 90$ in a saving account.The interest rate rise a 5% compounded annually.to the nearest cent, how much will he have in
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

$104.19

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the compound interest formula to solve this:

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

<em>P = initial balance</em>

<em>r = interest rate (decimal)</em>

<em>n = number of times compounded annually</em>

<em>t = time</em>

<em />

First, lets change 5% into a decimal:

5% -> \frac{5}{100} -> 0.05

Now, plug the values into the equation:

A=90(1+\frac{0.05}{1})^{1(3)}

A=104.19

After 3 years, Maria will have $104.19

Which of the following are properties of right triangles?
sineoko [7]
The properties that apply true are:

1–as it implies the Pythagorean theorem; a^2+b^2=c^2

3–as it implies the basic rules of visualized geometry.

4–as the greater side(hypotenuse) is opposite the right angle.

NOT 2, as the accrue angles ARE complimentary.

A video rental store keeps a list of their top 15 movie rentals each week. This week the list includes 6 action, 4 comedies, 3 d
azamat

Answer:

<h2>32/1125</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

Probability = Expected outcome of event/Total outcome.

If a video rental store keeps a list of their top 15 movie rentals each week, the total outcome is 15.

If the list for the week includes 6 action, 4 comedies, 3 dramas, and 2 mysteries and the store manager removes a copy of each of the 15 movies from the shelf, then randomly selects 3 of the 15 to show on the display monitors in the store, the probability that she selected 2 comedies and 1 action movie will be calculated as shown;

Probability of selecting 2 comedies  = 4/15*4/15 = 16/225 (Note that the expected outcome in this case is 4).

Probability of selecting 1 action movie = 6/15 = 2/5

<em>Hence, the probability that she selected 2 comedies and 1 action movie will be equivalent to 16/225*2/5 = 32/1125</em>

<em>Note that the rented movies will have to be returned hence reason for the replacement. </em>
