       A zero of a function is a number that, when plugged in for the variable, makes the function equal to zero.
P ( x ) = 0
As P ( - 1 ) = 0:
( x³ - 3 x² + x + 5 ) : ( x + 1 ) = x² - 4 x + 5
 -x³ -  x²
--------------
      - 4 x² + x
        4 x²+ 4 x
       --------------
                 5 x + 5
                -5 x -  5
                ------------
                          0
The remaining trinomial: x² - 4 x + 5 doesn´t have rational roots.
Answer: x = -1

three apples and four bananas cost $4.85 . three apples and ten bananas cost $8.75.Find the cost of an apple.
konstantin123 [22]
8.75-4.85= 3.90= cost of 6 bananas
3.9/6=0.65= cost of one banana
.65*4=2.60= cost of 4 bananas
4.85-2.60= 2.25= cost of 3 apples
2.25/3=.75= cost of an apple

7r-5r+8=9r+8-r translate to an equation, then solve
pshichka [43]

Answer:

r=0

Step-by-step explanation:

7r-5r+8=9r+8-r

This is already an equation

Combine like terms

2r+8 = 8r+8

Subtract 2r from each side

2r-2r +8 = 8r-2r +8

8 =6r+8

Subtract 8 from each side

8-8 = 6r+8-8

0 = 6r

Divide by 6

0/6 = 6r/6

0 =r

HELP pls What is the equation for the line?<br><br><br><br> Enter your answer in the box.
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

y=8x

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, or m, pick 2 points.

I chose (0, 0) and (2, 16)

The use the slope formula

16-0/2-0

16/2

8

to find the y-intercept, or b, find the point where the line crosses the y-axis, which is (0, 0). Take the y-coordinate, which is 0.

So,

y=8x+0

or y=8x
