Answer:
- x - 24 = 0
a = 1
b = 1
c = -24
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + 4)(x - 5) = 4
x(x - 5) = - 5x
4(x - 5) = 4x - 20
- 5x + 4x - 20 = 4
- x - 20 = 4
- x - 20 - 4 = 0
- x - 24 = 0
a = 1
b = 1
c = -24

<span>I note that this problem starts out with "Which is a factor of ... " This implies that you were given several answer choices. If that's the case, it's unfortunate that you haven't shared them.
I thought I'd try finding roots of this function using synthetic division. See below:
f(x) = 6x^4 – 21x^3 – 4x^2 + 24x – 35
Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation. Thanks.
Possible zeros of this poly are factors of 35: plus or minus 1, plus or minus 5, plus or minus 7. Use synthetic division; determine whether or not there is a non-zero remainder in each case. If none of these work, form rational divisors from 35 and 6 and try them: 5/6, 7/6, 1/6, etc.
Provided that you have copied down the function
</span>f(x) = 6x^4 – 21x^3 – 4x^2 + 24x – 35 properly, this approach will eventually turn up 1 or 2 zeros of this poly. Obviously it'd be much easier if you'd check out the possible answers given you with this problem.
By graphing this function, I found that the graph crosses the x-axis at 7/2. There is another root.
Using synth. div. to check whether or not 7/2 is a root:
___________________________
7/2 / 6 -21 -4 24 -35
21 0 -14 35
----------- ------------------------------
6 0 -4 10 0
Because the remainder is zero, 7/2 (or 3.5) is a root of the polynomial. Thus, (x-3.5), or (x-7/2), is a factor.

Answer:
$8,775
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount due is given by the formula ...
A = P(1 +rt)
where P is the principal amount, r is the annual rate, and t is the number of years.
A = $6,500(1 +0.07×5) = $6,500(1.35) = $8,775
Montrey had to pay back $8,775.
