Answer:
a) true
Step-by-step explanation:
The bottom-line numbers from synthetic division <em>alternate signs</em>, indicating that -2 is a lower bound. The given statement is true.
__
If the signs were all positive, it would indicate the proposed zero is an <em>upper bound</em>.
__
A graph shows all real zeros are greater than -2.
4 1/5 + b = 9 3/5
4 1/5 - 4 1/5 + b = 9 3/5 - 4 1/5
(taking the same amount from each side to keep it balanced)
0 + b = 5 2/5
(subtracting 4 1/5 from each side)
b = 5 2/5
Five hundred and sixty two divided by seven would be,
=80.28
I think that these ordered pairs would be the answer (-2,-1).
