The correct answer is that a factor of f(x) is (x+1)

This is due to the zero product property, which states that if two binomials multiply to 0, then one of its factors must equal 0.

(x+1) must equal 0.
(x+1)=0
x=-1

If (x-1)=0, then x would equal 1 instead of -1 which is what the question is asking for.

Assuming you want the expression to be simplified.

We begin with the following:

$5^{2} * 3^{-1} * \frac{5^-3}{3^{4}} * 5^{-1} * 3^{-3}$

Simplify the first part, $5^{2}$ . That is 25. Now we have this:

$25*3^{-1.5} * \frac{-3}{3^{4}} * 5^{-1} * 3^{-3}$

Next, simplify $3^{-1}$ , which is 1/3, and get this:

$25* 1/3 * \frac{-3}{3^{4}} * 5^{-1} * 3^{-3}$

The next part is $\frac{5^-3}{3^{4}}$ . Simplify the denominator, $3^{4}$ , which is 81. Simplify the numerator, which is 1/125. Then divide 1/125 by 81, which we will keep as a fraction for simplicity's sake, but simplify it to $\frac{1}{10125}$ . Now we have:

$25* 1/3 * \frac{1}{10125} * 5^{-1} * 3^{-3}$

Now simplify $5^{-1}$ , which is 0.2, or 1/5. Now we have:

$25* 1/3 * \frac{1}{10125} * 0.2 * 3^{-3}$

Finally, simplify $3^{-3}$ . That is 1/27. We have:

$25* 1/3 * \frac{1}{10125} * 0.2 * 1/27$

Lastly, multiply them all together! Now we are done, with the product of:

$\frac{1}{6075}$

That certainly did take a while to type in all the LaTex, so I really hope that helped!

Note- if anything isn't working with the LaTex, just tell me and I'll fix it! (:
