       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

saul85 [17]
X = number of lessons, y = total cost

y = 15x + 20 <== ur equation

when total bill was 125...y = 125
125 = 15x + 20
125 - 20 = 15x
105 = 15x
105/15 = x
7 = x <=== if Bill took 7 lessons, it would cost 125 <==

Someone know this question??
Bogdan [553]
Hhhhmmmmm...

13.50 for food
2.40 for drink

Since there is a voucher for 1/3 of food,

13.50 multiplied by 1/3 is 4.5 which is the discount

13.50-4.5=9

9 is the final cost for the food.

Add 9 to 2.40 for the drink which results in a total of 11.40

To find the amount charged for service you multiply 11.40 by .15

11.40 × .15 = 1.71

You add 1.71 to 11.40

The total is 13.11

How do you find the slope of a point
Hoochie [10]
A point doesn't have slope. Once you have TWO points, then the line between them has a slope. The slope is (how far the line rises from one point to the other) divided by (the level distance between them).
