For any polynomial equation, The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra tells you that the highest degree present will tell you how many complex roots the equation has. There are only two terms, " $x^{5}$ " and "3". The $x^{5}$ term has a degree of 5, its exponent. The 3 term has a degree of zero, because you could write it as $3 * x^{0} = 3 * 1$ using the zero exponent rule.

The degrees present are 5 and 0. Choose the highest one, 5. So, the answer here is D.

Ede4ka [16]

When considering similar triangles, we need congruent angles and proportional sides.

Hence
"Angles B and B' are congruent, and angles C and C' are congruent." is sufficient to prove similarity of two triangles.

"Segments AC and A'C' are congruent, and segments BC and B'C' are congruent." does not prove anything because we know nothing about the angles.

"Angle C=C', angle B=B', and segments BC and B'C' are congruent." would prove ABC is congruent to A'B'C' if and only if AB is congruent to A'B' (not just proportional).

"<span>Segment BC=B'C', segment AC=A'C', and angles B and B' are congruent</span>" is not sufficient to prove similarity nor congruence because SSA is not generally sufficient.

To conclude, the first option is sufficient to prove similarity (AAA)

What does -3/8 x 3/5 x -5/6 equal

allochka39001 [22]

It equals 3/16 because I first multiplied the first to fractions together and I know that negative times a positive is negative so we would get a negative and I also multiplied the 2 to get -9/40 and then multiplied -5/6 to -9/40 to get the answer of 3/16!
