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

Explain why the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is irrational
spayn [35]

Answer:

If you multiply any irrational number by the rational number zero, the result will be zero, which is rational. Any other situation, however, of a rational times an irrational will be irrational.

Positionx (m)
9966 [12]

Answer:

A. 3.0 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the graph,

velocity = Area of the graph

v =  \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2}

(y : position and x : time)

Let y1 = 2m and y2 = 14m,

t1 = 0s and t2 = 4s

v = (14 - 2)m/(4-0)s

= 12m/4s

= 3.0 m/s
