Splashtown: 25 + 1x
Schlitterbahn: 40
25 + 1x = 40
-25 -25
0 1x = 15
x = 15
So after 15 rides, Schlitterbahn would be cheaper than Splashtown.
There's no if about it,

has a zero

so

is a factor. That's the special case of the Remainder Theorem; since

we'll get a remainder of zero when we divide

by

At this point we can just divide or we can try more little numbers in the function. It doesn't take too long to discover

too, so

is a factor too by the remainder theorem. I can find the third zero as well; but let's say that's out of range for most folks.
So far we have

where

is the zero we haven't guessed yet. Again we could divide

by

but just looking at the constant term we must have

so

We check

We usually talk about the zeros of a function and the roots of an equation; here we have a function

whose zeros are
Answer:
x=-61
Step-by-step explanation:
If Lee starts with 100 pennies and adds groups of 10, the operation is addition. Since she does this 5 times, there is 5 different numbers Lee said.
100 + 10 = 110
110 + 10 = 120
120 + 10 = 130
130 + 10 = 140
140 + 10 = 150
Thus, all of the numbers she said were 110, 120, 130, 140, and 150.
Hope this helps! :)
