Answer: (b) x = -7, x = 2, x = 4

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Remainder Theorem is used to determine if a given value is a root.

It is stated that (x + 7) is a root ⇒ x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = -7

We can confirm this by plugging in x = -7 and getting a value of 0.

f(x) = 5x³ + 5x² - 170x + 280

f(-7) = 5(-7)³ + 5(-7)² - 170(-7) + 280

= -1715 + 245 + 1190 + 280

= 0

CONFIRMED that x = -7 is a zero!

Next, let's try x = 2

f(2) = 5(2)³ + 5(2)² - 170(2) + 280

= 40 + 20 - 340 + 280

= 0

CONFIRMED that x = 2 is a zero!

Lastly, let's try x = 4

f(4) = 5(4)³ + 5(4)² - 170(4) + 280

= 320 + 80 - 680 + 280

= 0

CONFIRMED that x = 4 is a zero!

mina [271]

Answer:

9 1/9 per cousin

Step-by-step explanation:

if the aunt has 58 items to be distributed to 6 cousins, we would set a fraction of 58/6. performing that is 9 with 4/6 left over.

since there is 6 cousins, there will be 2/3 divided by 6 = 2/18, or 1/9

What number am I?

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

The numbers less that 40 which have sum of digits 8 are 17, 26, 35.

Only one of those that has a factor of 7. And that is 35.

So you are 35.

Second way:

The numbers less that 40 which have a factor of 7 are 7,14,21,28,35

Only one of those which has sum of digits as 8. And that is 35.

So you are 35.

Answer: Perimeter = 66 cm and area = $66\ m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of rectangle is given by :-

$P=2(l+w)$ , where l is length and w is width of the rectangle.

Given : A rectangle has a length of 5.50 m and a width of 12.0 m .

Then, the perimeter of rectangle :

$P=2(12+5.50)\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=2(17.50)=35\ m$

Also, area of rectangle is given by :-

$A=l\times w=5.50\times12=66 \ m^2$

Area of rectangle = $66\ m^2$
