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:
.
Answer:
The area of the sidewalk is 144.44 m².
The 2-m wide walk adds 4 m to the diameter, making it 21+4=25.
Since the radius is half the diameter, r = 25/2 = 12.5.
The area of the entire bed with walkway is 3.14(12.5)² = 490.625 m².
The diameter of the bed is 21, so the radius is 21/2 = 10.5.
The area of just the flower bed is 3.14(10.5)² = 346.185.
The difference between the two is 490.625-346.185 = 144.44 m². This is the area of the walkway.

It is a function if it only touches the vertical line once.
Question 7
(37,065 - 26, 102)/(37, 065) = P/100
(10, 963)/(37, 065) = P/100
37, 065P = (10, 963)(100)
37,065P = 109, 630
P = 109, 630 ÷ 37, 065
P = 2.9577768785
P = 295.78%
Do likewise for the rest of the questions.
To change from decimal to percent, move the decimal point two places to the right and then add the percent symbol (%).
