Sample Response: Percy is not correct because he applied the zero product property to a factored expression that was not equal to 0. He should have subtracted 12 from both sides to get x2 + 7x = 0 before factoring. The correct solutions are 0 and -7.

Ella was paid an 11 percent commission on the pair of shoes that she sold. The department store had paid $25 wholesale for the s
Anon25 [30]
The answer is B. $3.85.

This is because, first if we get the percentage that the shoes were marked up by, we get that they were marked up to $35, because 40% of $25 is $10 and $25 + $10 = $35.

Then, we find the percentage of $35 that she earned. In order to do this, we see what 11% of $35 is. We get $3.85, because 10% of $35 is $3.50, and 1% of $35 is $0.35. $3.50 + $0.35 = $3.85.

This is why the answer is B. $3.85.

Write a polynomial function that has the given zeros. Classify your<br> polynomial.
Nataly [62]

Answer:

To find to polynomial from zeros.

Find the factors. If it is a positive zero, the factor will be (x- zero) If it is a negative zero if is (x+zero)

Multiply the factors together.

Zeros of -4, -2, 5 would be:

Find the factors: (x+4)(x+2)(x-5)

Multiply the factors together: Will start out with FOIL for (x+4)(x+2) = x2+2x+4x+8 Combine like terms. Then multiply by the last factor

(x2+6x+8)(x-5) using the distributive property

x3+6x2+8x-5x2-30x-40 Combine like terms

x3+x2-22x-40

For the next one, the factors are a bit more complicated because of the radical.  With a radical, you will also have to have a factor with the conjugate (Same term opposite sign)

4, 6, negative square root of 7

Factors would be:  (x-4)(x-6)(x-√7)(x+√7)  You can FOIL the first 2 factors and the last 2, then multiply them together using the distributive property.

Evaluate. -2(x + 6) + 3 = -11x + 4(x + 4) The value of x is ___​
Yanka [14]

-2(x + 6) + 3 = -11x + 4(x + 4)

-2x - 12 + 3 = -11x + 4x + 16

-2x - 9 = -7x + 16

5x = 25

<em>x = 5</em>

Hope this helps! :)
