Answer:
A.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write this as:-
P(x) = + x^3 - 5x^2 - 25x + 125
There are 2 changes of real sign so by Descartes Rule of signs there are either 2 positive real roots or 0 positive roots.
P(-x) = - x^3 - 5x^2 + 25x + 125
There is just one change of sign so there is exactly 1 real negative root.
125 is a multiple of 5 so By rational root theorem 5 could be a positive root.
P(5) = 125 - 125 - 125 + 125 = 0 so one zero is 5
if we divide the polynomial by (x - 5) we get the quadratic
x^2 - 25
(x + 5)(x - 5) = 0
x = 5,-5
so the roots are 5 (multiplicity 2) and -5.
2 real positive zeroes and one real negative zero
Answer:
B. 11.85% = 12%
Step-by-step explanation:
500 * .10 + 300 * .15 = 50 + 45 = 95.
95/800 = .11875
.11875 = 11.875%
Ratio 9:13:18......added = 40. This means that one person gets 9/40 of the total, one person gets 13/40 of the total and one person gets 18/40 of the total.
and if the total is 800...
9/40 * 800 = 7200/40 = 180 <==
13/40 * 800 = 10400/40 = 260 <==
18/40 * 800 = 14400/40 = 360 <==
