I think the question is
Find the value of c so that (x-5) is a factor of the polynomial

The other factor is going to be some quadratic. We can say a few things about its coefficients but let's start by saying in general it's



Equating respective coefficients,




so we get



Answer: -37

Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the common ratio, take the second term and divide by the first term
-14/-7 = 2
Check by dividing the third term by the second term
-28/-14 = 2
The common ratio is 2
(8/9-3/9)*2/3=5/9*2/3=10/27
So if u were to use a calculator, which you probably might need, you would take the radius, square it by 3, multiply by 4 and then divide by 3.
