Answer:
Option D is correct.
VS = 20 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is contained in the attached image to this answer.
From the image attached and the additional information about the triangles, it is evident that that triangle VSW is similar to triangle QSR.
Hence, we can write the ratio as
(VS/QS) = (VW/QR)
VS = 2a
QS = 2 × VS = 2 × 2a = 4a
VW = 2a - 2
QR = 3a + 6
(2a)/(4a) = (2a - 2)/(3a + 6)
Cross multiplying,
2a (3a + 6) = 4a (2a - 2)
3a + 6 = 2 (2a - 2)
3a + 6 = 4a - 4
4a - 3a = 6 + 4
a = 10
VS = 2a = 20 units.

Answer:
a) 8, multiplicity 2; 8, multiplicity 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that a is a zero of the polynomial f(x) if f(a)=0 and has multiplicity n if the termn (x-a) is n times in the factorization of f(x).
We have that
Observe that
1.
and (x+8) appear two times in the factorization of f(x). Then -8 is a zero of f(x) with multiplicity 2.
2.
and and (x - 8) appear three times in the factorization of f(x). Then 8 is a zero of f(x) with multiplicity 3.
Since f(x) has degree 5 and the sum of the multiplicities is 5 then f(x) hasn't more zeros.
