Answer:

\Large \boxed{\sf \ \ 7 \ \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, please consider the following.

The polynomial function is

x^3-5x^2-12x+14

The rational root theorem states that each rational solution

   x=\dfrac{p}{q}    

, written in irreducible fraction, satisfies the two following:

   p is a factor of the constant term

   q is a factor of the leading coefficient

In this example, the constant term is 14 and the leading coefficient is 1. It means that p is a factor of 14 and q a factor of 1.

Let's proceed with the prime factorisation of 14:

14 = 2 * 7

Finally, the possible rational roots of this expression are :

   1

   2

   7

   14

and we need to test for negative ones too

   -1

   -2

   -7

   -14

From your list, the correct answer is 7.

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you

Which equation is equivalent to I = prt?
horsena [70]

Answer: Choice D.  P = i/rt

This is the same as saying P = i/(rt). The parenthesis are preferred in my opinion to indicate we have rt in the denominator and not just r.

======================================

Explanation:

In the original equation, prt is the same as p*r*t. So we multiply p, r and t to get prt.

This can be thought of as p*(rt). To isolate p, we undo the multiplication done to the variable p. We will divide both sides by rt to get

i = prt

i = p*(rt)

i/(rt) = p*(rt)/(rt) ... dividing both sides by rt

i/(rt) = p

p = i/(rt)
