ANSWER
A. No because f(c)=-30
EXPLANATION
The given polynomial is

If x+1 is a factor , then f(-1) must evaluate to zero.





Since f(-1) is not equal to zero, x+1 is not a factor of

The answer is b. Notice that the problem is looking for the reaction to product ratio, which is tricky because it's easy to follow the order of the column and calculate the inverse of it. Check the first ratio, 0.3/2=0.15, we can immediately choose b out of the other 4 choices.
Hi There!
Dori leaves her house at 12pm.
50 steps per minute until 12:20pm.
Dori has a 20 minute advantage over Malory, find the amount of steps she is ahead by,
12 - 12:20pm. steps = 20 minutes = 20 x 50 = 1000 steps
Malory leaves her house at 12:20pm.
Walks 90 steps per minute.
12:20 - 12:30 pm. = 10 minutes = 10 x 90 = 900
Dori 12:20 - 12:30pm. = 10 minutes = 10 x 50 = 500
500 + 1000 = 1500
Mallory 12:30 - 12:40 = 10 minutes = 10 x 90 = 900
900 + 900 = 1800
Dori 12:30 - 12:45pm. = 15 minutes = 15 x 50 = 500
1750 + 500 = 2250
Mallory 12:40 - 12:45pm. = 5 minutes = 10 x 90 = 900
450 + 1800 = 2250
Answer: they have the same number steps at 12:45 p.m.
Hope This Helps :)
All we want to do is get an equation with just x on one side and no x's on the other.
We can use inverse operations to accomplish this.
First, bring bx to the left side. Subtract the 3.
Factor ax+bx to x(a+b). (this is pretty much reversing the distributive property)
Divide by a+b and you are left with just x on the left side as 4/(a+b).
