Answer:
b= -10
Step-by-step explanation:
9^ -8 * 9^ -2
We know that a^b * a^c = a^ (b+c)
9^ (-8+-2)
9^ -10
We want it in the form a^b
a=9
b= -10
Hello there k12 user. - i am in k12 too :)
cough.
use mathpapa look it up it should give your anwser i cant copy and paste it, but its there
just put in the numbers
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...
I believe Plot 1 is the girl's.The girls is an outlier
Hope this helps.
<span> X+5/2=b
Subtract 5/2 from both sides
Final Answer: x= b-5/2</span>
