Answer:

Option B, Yes, the remainder is 0, so x-5 is a factor of P(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Factor

p(x) = x^3 - 5x^2 - x + 5

p(x) = (x - 5)(x + 1)(x - 1)

Yes, the remainder is 0 so, x-5 is a factor of p(x)

Answer: Option B, Yes, the remainder is 0, so x-5 is a factor of P(x)

3x^2 / 4 = 48

Multiply both sides by 4 to get rid of the four on the left.

3x^2 = 192

Divide both sides by 3

x^2 = 64

The square root 64 to get x

Remember there are two answers

x = 8 and x = -8

If 5x – 4 = 31, what is the value of x?

Lunna [17]

Answer:

x = 5 $\frac{2}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

So, to answer this problem, I'll use the reverse method.

31 - 4 = 27,

So how many times, can 5 go into 27?

The closest factor of 5 to 27 is 25.

5 can go in to 27, 5 times.

Continuing on, there is a 2 left over, so the answer to your question is

x = 5 $\frac{2}{5}$

5 · 5 $\frac{2}{5}$ - 4 = 31

Let me know if I am incorrect and I will attempt to find the right answer for you.

The value of x-y is negative, and x and y are both positive. What can you conclude about the values of x

Stolb23 [73]

Well for two positive numbers subtracted to equal a negative number, the first number must have a value that is less than the second number. (Ex. 3-4= -1) In this case, you can conclude that x is less than y! (x<y)
