<u>Answer:</u>
The distance from earth to sun is 387.5 times greater than distance from earth to moon.
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, the distance from Earth to the sun is about 
The distance from Earth to the Moon is about 
We have to find how many times greater is the distance from Earth to the Sun than Earth to the Moon?
For that, we just have to divide the distance between earth and sun with distance between earth to moon.
Let the factor by which distance is greater be d.

Hence, the distance from earth to sun is 387.5 times greater than distance from earth to moon.
The point-slope formula is y-y1=m(x-x1). You will then substitute into this equation. The answer will be y-2=-8(x+3).
If the roots to such a polynomial are 2 and

, then we can write it as

courtesy of the fundamental theorem of algebra. Now expanding yields

which would be the correct answer, but clearly this option is not listed. Which is silly, because none of the offered solutions are *the* polynomial of lowest degree and leading coefficient 1.
So this makes me think you're expected to increase the multiplicity of one of the given roots, or you're expected to pull another root out of thin air. Judging by the choices, I think it's the latter, and that you're somehow supposed to know to use

as a root. In this case, that would make our polynomial

so that the answer is (probably) the third choice.
Whoever originally wrote this question should reevaluate their word choice...
