Answer:
<em>The zeros of the polynomial are -1 and 5</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Quadratic Equation Solving</u>
The standard representation of a quadratic equation is:

where a,b, and c are constants.
Solving with the quadratic formula:

We have the following equation to solve:

Before attempting to solve it, we must simplify the equation.
Collecting like terms and reordering:

Here: a=1, b=-4, c=-5
The discriminant of this quadratic equation is:


Given d is positive, the equation has two roots, and since d is a perfect square, both roots are rational.
Applying the formula:


Dividing by 2:

Separating both roots:
x = 2 + 3 = 5
x = 2 - 3 = -1
The zeros of the polynomial are -1 and 5
Answer:
21/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Rate of change also means slope.
Pick any two points, for example (8,167) and (12, 188)
Now use the formula y2-y1/x2 - x1 to find slope
188 - 167/ 12 - 8
21/4
The rate of change is 21/4, <em>note you would NOT convert the fraction into to a decimal until your teacher specifies you to.</em>

So, 2/4 pounds of blueberries reduced is 1/2 pound of blueberries. There 16 ounces in a pound and 8 ounces in 1/2 a pound. He only bought 8 ounces of blueberries and he needs 48. Subtract 8 ounces that he already has from 48 ounces that he needs and get 40 ounces.
