The answer for the exercise is: -2
 The explanation is shown below:
 You have the following function given in the problem above: f(x)=(x-5)³(x+2)². As you can see, (x+2)² is a double root, therefore, it touches the x-axis but it does nos cross it. Therefore, the answer  is -2.
 When you plot the function, you obtain the graph attached.

We have that
f(x) = (x – 5)³(x + 2)²

we know that
<span>the roots can touch or cross the x axis

</span>The way you can tell if the graph is going to cross the x-axis or just touch the x-axis is by looking at the power of the factor.

(x - 5)³ has a power of 3 which is an ODD number. An ODD power means that the graph will cross through the x-axis.

(x + 2)² has a power of 2 which is an EVEN number. An EVEN power means that the graph will touch the x-axis.

therefore

the answer is
<span>the graph of f(x) touch the x axis for the root x=-2
</span>
see the attached figure

Problem 1

<h3>Answer:  2/5</h3>

--------------------------

Explanation:

There are 4 green blocks out of 4+6 = 10 total. We divide the number of green over the number total to get the answer. Reduce the fraction as much as possible. The fraction 4/10 reduces to 2/5 (we divide both parts by 2).

====================================================

Problem 2

<h3>Answer: 1/6</h3>

--------------------------

Explanation:

The probability the spinner lands on red is 2/6 = 1/3. This is because there are 2 spaces that are red out of 6 total. It helps to reduce as much as possible.

The probability the coin lands on heads is 1/2 because there's 1 side labeled heads out of 2 total.

Multiply the fractions: 1/3 * 1/2 = 1/6

This works because both events are independent.
