I don't know what this is supposed to mean, but thanks for the free points! ;)
If the roots to such a polynomial are 2 and

, then we can write it as

courtesy of the fundamental theorem of algebra. Now expanding yields

which would be the correct answer, but clearly this option is not listed. Which is silly, because none of the offered solutions are *the* polynomial of lowest degree and leading coefficient 1.
So this makes me think you're expected to increase the multiplicity of one of the given roots, or you're expected to pull another root out of thin air. Judging by the choices, I think it's the latter, and that you're somehow supposed to know to use

as a root. In this case, that would make our polynomial

so that the answer is (probably) the third choice.
Whoever originally wrote this question should reevaluate their word choice...
Answer:
8/12 left
Step-by-step explanation:
8/12 of a bag left
2 1/12 = 25/12
1 5/12 = 17/12
25-17 = 8
The answer is 8/12
Answer:
Infinite Solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract m from both sides:



Both sides are equal.
This means that the value of m does not affect the end result of 7 = 7, which is true. Thus, there are infinite solutions as any value of m will still make the equation true.
