Hey there! :)

Answer:

(x + 4).

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding the factors of a polynomial with a leading coefficient of 1, we must look for numbers that sum up to -5 and multiply into -36.

We are already given -9 as one of the numbers, so simply divide from -36 to solve for the remaining number.

-36 / (-9) = 4.

Therefore, this equation in factored form would be:

(x - 9) (x + 4)

The other factor being (x + 4).

Three people are running for president of a class. The results of a poll indicate that the first candidate has an estimated 37%

lianna [129]

Answer:

0.19

Step-by-step explanation:

The are three candidate running for president and we know that probability of winning for first candidate and the probability of winning for second candidate and we have to find the probability of winning for third candidate

P(C1)=0.37

P(C2)=0.44

P(C3)=?

We know that sum of probabilities is always 1. So,

P(C1)+P(C2)+P(C3)=1

0.37+0.44+P(C3)=1

P(C3)=1-0.37-0.44

P(C3)=0.19

Thus, the probability of winning for third candidate is 0.19.
