Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Factorize:

<u>Factor Theorem</u>
If f(a) = 0 for a polynomial then (x - a) is a factor of the polynomial f(x).
Substitute x = 1 into the function:

Therefore, (x - 1) is a factor.
As the polynomial is cubic:

Expanding the brackets:


Comparing coefficients with the original polynomial:



Therefore:

Cannot be factored any further.
Part A
1 day = 1/4 hours of practice
7 days = 7/4 hours of practice (multiply both sides by 7)
1 week = 7/4 hours of practice
1 week = (4+3)/4 hours of practice
1 week = (4+3)/4 hours of practice
1 week = (4/4)+(3/4) hours of practice
1 week = 1+(3/4) hours of practice
1 week = 1 & 3/4 hours of practice
side note: 1 & 3/4 = 1.75
=======================================
Part B
Take the result from part A, and multiply it with 60
So we'll have 60 times 1&3/4 on the left side on the first line, then 60*(1+3/4) on the right side of this same line.
The rest of the lines look like this
(60*1) + (60*3/4)
60 + 60*3/4
60 + 180/4
60 + 45
105 minutes
It’s b :) haha i got it right
So assuming simplet interest
find the change to find the interest
change=186000-129000=57000
simple interest=time times rate times principal
time is in years (8)
rate is in decimal
principal is amount invested (129000)
so
interest is 57000
57000=(8)(r)(129000)
57000=1032000r
divide both sides by 1032000
0.05523255813953488372093023255814=r
or
5.523255813953488372093023255814%
rounded
5.5%
