1/3b-1/3
factor out 1/3
1/3(b-1)
hope this helps
Answer:
a)yes
Step-by-step explanation:
5 times 5 is 25
8 times 5 is 40
to find the hypotenuse (or the ramp in question 4) you can use the equation

with a and b being the 3 feet and 9 feet and c being the unknown (ramp).
So if you plug 3 and 9 into the equation, it looks like this.

then square them.

simplify.

take the square root of both sides.

is approx. 9.5 so the answer would be H.
Where is the information needed
Multiplicity
is how many times the root repeats
roots
r1 and r2 of a polynomial factor to
(x-r1)(x-r2)
so 3
multiplicty 2 means (x-3)^2 is in the factorization of that
polynomial
also,
for a polynomial with real coefients, if a+bi is a roots, a-bi is
also a root
5i is
a root, therefor -5i is a root as well
roots
are
(x-5i)(x+5i)(x-3)^2
if we
expand
x^4-6x^3+34x^2-150x+225
the
polynomial is
f(x)=x^4-6x^3+34x^2-150x+225
