Answer: 7%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Initial jobs = 428.5 thousand
Average rate of declining of jobs from 2010 to 2020 = 3 thousand jobs per year
From 2010 to 2020 , there are 10 years.
Total jobs declines till 2020 = 10 x (3 thousand)
= 30 thousand (Change in jobs)
Now, utilities percent change for 2010 to 2020 : 

Utilities percent change for 2010 to 2020 = 7 %
Roots: - √5 , √5, and - 3
=> these are factors of the polynomial: (x + √5), (x - √5), and (x + 3).
Multiply those three factors:
(x + √5) (x - √5) ( x + 3) = [x^2 - 5] ( x + 3 ) = x^2 + 3x^2 - 5x - 15
Therefore the polynomial x^2 + 3x^2 - 5x - 15 is a polynomial with the given roots.
Answer: option B. x^3 + 3x^2 - 5x - 15
