Answer: A rectangle

Note: I am a bit confused between A), B), and C), but the answer I am going for is C).

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, a cross-section is the intersection of a plane and a body of three dimensions.

A pentagonal prism has a pentagon as its base. and its lateral faces are rectangles.

If a plane perpendicular cuts the pentagonal prism to the base, this means that the plane is parallel to lateral faces, then, the shape of the cross-section that is formed is also a rectangle.

A share of stock in the Lofty Cheese Company is quoted at 25 1/4. Suppose you hold 30 shares of that stock, which you bought at
baherus [9]
Since each share was purchased when it was still quoted at 20 1/4, then when the stock value increases, it gains (25 1/4 - 20 1/4) = $5.00 for each stock. Since you're to sell 30 shares of your stock, that means you'll be making a profit of (30 x 5 ) = $150.00. Thus, the answer is C<span>.</span>

Suppose the graph of a cubic polynomial function has the same zeroes and passes through the coordinate (0, –5).
Alexeev081 [22]
Zeros are the x values which make the function equal to zero. Set it up as you would for a binomial with a constant multiplier "k" to account for the y-intercept (0, -5) given.

f(x) = k(x-2)(x-3)(x-5)

Use the y-intercept (0,-5) to solve for k.

-5 = k(0-2)(0-3)(0-5)
-5 = -30k
-5/-30 = k
1/6 = k


The cubic polynomial function is then ..

f(x) = (1/6)(x-2)(x-3)(x-5)
 

Linear factors are the linear (line) expressions you can factor out of the polynomial. They are (x-2), (x-3) and (x-5).
