1.)If f(a) = 0, then x - a is a factor of the polynomial.
2.) x + 3 is a factor of the polynomial.
Flour: 2 3/4 cups = 11/4
11/4 * 2 = 22/4 = 5 2/4 cups
Sugar: 1 1/2 cups = 3/2
3/2 = 6/4 = 1 2/4 cups
1 2/4 * 2 = 3 cups
So it *should* be 8 1/2 cups.
To solve this plug 2 in for d in the equation like so:

The fraction
can be simplified to 2.
How I found this:
The greatest common factor of 8 and 4 is 4.
If we divide 8 by 4 you get 2
If you divide 4 by 4 you would get 1
That gives you the simplified fraction:
Which is the same as simply 2
Now we have the expression:
2 - 2
^^^ A number subtracted from itself is always zero
The answer is:
0

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2^2=1.75^2+3^2-2*3*1.75cos x
4=3.0625+9-10.5 cosx
10.5cos x=9-4+3.0625
10.5cosx=8.0625
cos x= 8.0625/10.5≈0.77
x≈40 degrees
