In this problem, we need to plug in the given x values for

and find a and b.
When we plug in 1, we get:

Simplify:



We got our first statement about the values of the variables. If we find one more we can find those 2 variables.
We have another given root: 4.
Plug it in:




Now we have our second one. We can combine them:

I use elimination method which is easier here.
Multiply the top equation by -1:

Add them up:

Simplify:

Now we have a, we can plug in one of those equations to find b:



So, the answers are

and

.
A.) Simplifying the equation would lead you to 15x^2-3x+9
b.) You know your answer is correct because you're adding the two polynomials together. 9x^2+6x^2 is 1tx^2. Now you have 2x-5x and since the negative is bigger, you get -3x. Then 5+4 is 9. You have no like terms therefore your answer is 15x^2-3x+9
Answer:
52
Step-by-step explanation:
plug in 3 if we're going by 0,1,2,3
2+ (3-1)25
2+50
52
The total is $15.04 because you must add 12.74 + 2.30
You take how much she makes and multiply it by the hours she works
10.25*7
=71.75
