so it would be 10/-5 which would be -2
Total time taken by Jon was 4.5 hours
Time taken by Sam was 5.5 hours
This implies that John traveled faster than Sam because he took shorter time to get to the camp, thus we conclude that from the given information, the correct answer is:
Sam and Jon traveled at the same rate of speed to camp.

Explanation:
If the zero is c, the factor is (x-c).
So for zeros of
−
3
,
−
1
3
,
5
, the factors are
(
x
+
3
)
(
x
+
1
3
)
(
x
−
5
)
Let's take a look at the factor
(
x
+
1
3
)
. Using the factor in this form will not result in integer coefficients because
1
3
is not an integer.
Move the
3
in front of the x and leave the
1
in place:
(
3
x
+
1
)
.
When set equal to zero and solved, both
(
x
+
1
3
)
=
0
and
(
3
x
+
1
)
=
0
result in
x
=
−
1
3
.
f
(
x
)
=
(
x
+
3
)
(
3
x
+
1
)
(
x
−
5
)
Multiply the first two factors.
f
(
x
)
=
(
3
x
2
+
10
x
+
3
)
(
x
−
5
)
Multiply/distribute again.
f

=

Combine like terms.
