The answer is <span>5, 4, 2

Among all choices we have 5, so
x = 5
x - 5 = 0
Let's divide the expression by (x - 5) using the long division:
                          x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40
(x - 5)  * x² =      x³ - 5x²                   Subtract
____________________________
                              -6x² + 38x - 40
   (x - 5) * (-6x) =    -6x² + 30x          Subtract
____________________________
                                           8x - 40
                    (x - 5) * 8 =     8x - 40   Sutract
____________________________
                                              0

Thus: x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40 = (x - 5)(x² - 6x + 8)

Now, let's simplify x² - 6x + 8.

x² - 6x + 8 = x² - 2x - 4x + 8 =
                  = x² - 2*x - (4*x - 4*2) = 
                  = x(x - 2) - 4(x - 2) =
                  = (x - 4)(x - 2)

Hence:
x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40 = (x - 5)(x - 4)(x - 2)
To calculate zero:
x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40 = 0
(x - 5)(x - 4)(x - 2) = 0
x - 5 = 0            or             x - 4 = 0              or      x - 2 = 0
x = 5                 or              x = 4                   or      x = 2

Marco gana 1200 mensualmente . La mitad de su dinero es entregado a su mama de lo que le queda gasta en la tercera parte en ropa
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

A Marco le sobra 400.

Step-by-step explanation:

Marco gana 1200 mensualmente. La mitad de su dinero es entregado a su mamá.

La mitad de un número se calcula dividiendo el número por 2. Por lo que la mitad de lo ganado por Marco se calcula:

1200 ÷2= 600

Por lo que Marco entrega a su mamá 600 mensualmente, y quedan 600, obtenido de la resta entre lo ganado mensualmente y lo entregado a su madre.

De lo que le queda gasta en la tercera parte en ropa. La tercera parte de un número se calcula dividiendo el número por 3. Entonces:

600 ÷3= 200

Entonces Marco gasta 200 en ropa. Por lo que resta es 400, obtenido por la diferencia entre los 600 que poseía luego de entregar dinero a su madre y lo gastado en ropa.

Entonces, <u><em>a Marco le sobra 400.</em></u>

Given point B is located at
ELEN [110]

Answer: \Large\boxed{Point~B'~=~(-4,~-2)}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given information</u>

Point B = (-2, -4)

Reflection line: y = x

<u>Concept:</u>

When reflecting over the line y = x, the position of y and x in the original coordinate switches places.

This is because it is " y = x ", assuming that they could interchange

<u>Find the coordinate of Point B'</u>

Original (x, y) = (-2, -4)

Point B' = (x', y') = (y, x) = \Large\boxed{(-4,~-2)}

<em>Please refer to the attachment below for a graphical understanding</em>

Hope this helps!! :)
