Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x + 9 and (x + ( i - 7)) are factors

Discussion:

If f(x) has roots -9 and 7-i then

f(x) = g(x)(x - (-9)) (x - (7-i)) ( g(x) is a polynomial of degree less than f(x))

That is, x + 9 and (x + ( i - 7)) are factors of f(x)

BTW: if the coefficients of f(x) are real (not stated in the Question) then the conjugate of 7-i, i.e. 7 + i, is also be a root.

Thank you,

MrB

Simply the product -7x/5y * 5x/-7

ch4aika [34]

We are asked to simplify the expression $\frac{-7x}{5y} \cdot \frac{5x}{-7}$ ,

what we do is, we form a single fraction where the numerator is the product of the numerators, and the denominator is the product of the denominators, that is:

$\frac{-7x}{5y} \cdot \frac{5x}{-7}= \frac{-7\cdot5 \cdot x \cdot x}{5 \cdot(-7) \cdot y}$

simplify the common numbers and terms in the numerator and denominator:

$\frac{-7\cdot5 \cdot x \cdot x}{5 \cdot(-7) \cdot y}=\frac{5 \cdot x \cdot x}{5 \cdot y}=\frac{x \cdot x}{y}= \frac{ x^{2} }{y}$

Answer: $\frac{ x^{2} }{y}$

In February, Mr. Williams opened a checking account and made deposits of $949, $1419, $1598, and $1289. He also wrote checks for

kkurt [141]

Based on the deposits and written checks, Mr. Williams' account balance at the end of the month is <u>$3,606</u>.

<h3>What is the account balance?</h3>

The account balance represents the net amount remaining in the account after subtracting the checks from the deposits.

Other factors are taken into account for determining the account balance, including direct credits and debits like bank transfers and charges for bank services.

Thus, the account balance can be utilized by Mr. Williams for his banking transactions in March.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Total Deposits = $5,255 ($949 + $1419 + $1598 + $1289)

Total checks = $1,649 ($84 + $167 + $352 + $384 + $662)

Account balanced = $3,606 ($5,255 - $1,649)

Thus, based on the deposits and written checks, Mr. Williams' account balance at the end of the month is <u>$3,606</u>.
