You can find the answer by plugging in any of the multiple choice options into a,
when you square a number (^2), the result is always positive even if the number starts off negative,
-25 or 125 wouldn't work for this equation because the answer is too big
but when you plug -5 or 5 in you get the right answer, so the answer is c
If it has rational coefients and is a polygon
if a+bi is a root then a-bi is also a root
the roots are -4 and 2+i
so then 2-i must also be a root
if the rots of a poly are r1 and r2 then the factors are
f(x)=(x-r1)(x-r2)
roots are -4 and 2+i and 2-i
f(x)=(x-(-4))(x-(2+i))(x-(2-i))
f(x)=(x+4)(x-2-i)(x-2+i)
expand
f(x)=x³-11x+20
Answer:
x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
-23 + 7 = -16
-16 ÷ 2 = -8
2 × -8 =-16 - 7 = -23
10
Because if you do 5•2 you get 10
More in depth explanation:
Though there are 25 possible configurations the question asks for two different toppings together. It also asks for unique combinations. So AB and BA are the same combination in this context. The only unique possibilities are
AB
AC
AD
AE
BC
BD
BE
CD
CE
DE
It is easy to simplify this into 5•2 for this situation. And if the question asked for three toppings you would do 5•3.
However if the question asked for the configurations for two toppings then you would do 5•5 and if it asked for the configurations of 3 toppings you would do 5•5•5
