Step-by-step explanation:
C. The system of equations is unsolvabl
Whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.
therefore, if an item has been discounted by 40%, the discounte is that 40%, what is 40% of the price "p"? (40/100) * p or 0.4p.
Answer:
Choice b.
.
Step-by-step explanation:
The highest power of the variable
in this polynomial is
. In other words, this polynomial is quadratic.
It is thus possible to apply the quadratic formula to find the "roots" of this polynomial. (A root of a polynomial is a value of the variable that would set the polynomial to
.)
After finding these roots, it would be possible to factorize this polynomial using the Factor Theorem.
Apply the quadratic formula to find the two roots that would set this quadratic polynomial to
. The discriminant of this polynomial is
.
.
Similarly:
.
By the Factor Theorem, if
is a root of a polynomial, then
would be a factor of that polynomial. Note the minus sign between
and
.
- The root
corresponds to the factor
, which simplifies to
. - The root
corresponds to the factor
, which simplifies to
.
Verify that
indeed expands to the original polynomial:
.
