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

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

For 30 ml of orange Juice

45 ml of apple Juice is needed and

25 ml of coconut milk is required

The proportion of coconut milk in the cocktail is

\Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{amount of coconut milk}}{\text{total volume of mixture}}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{25}{30+45+25}=\dfrac{25}{100}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{4}

Rewrite each of the following linear equation in equivalent y=mx+b
aev [14]
You are given a line is standard form, so to transform it to the slope-intercept form, you simply have to solve it for y, and you will have y=mx+b.

2y-3x=10  add 3x to both sides

2y=3x+10  divide both sides by 2

y=1.5x+5,  since y=mx+b, m=slope and b=y-intercept

slope=1.5 and the y-intercept is, technically the point, (0, 5)
