1) x³ + 2x² - x - 2 2) 2x³ + 5x² - 8x - 20 = 0
x²(x + 2) - (x + 2) x²(2x + 5) - 4(2x + 5) = 0
(x + 2)(x² - 1) (2x + 5)(x² - 4) = 0
(x + 2)(x - 1)(x + 1) x = -5/2, +-2
x = -2, 1, -1 << a is the answer.
hope that helps, God bless!

Answer:
total amount donated when aaron walks n miles = $2 + $3(n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Aaron participates in a walkathon for charity. He has a sponsor who has pledged a base donation of $2 for the first mile he walks and then a certain dollar amount for each additional mile he walks. Based on this pledge, if Aaron walks 8 miles, the sponsor will donate a total of $23 to the charity.
Write a formula that can be used to determine the amount of money this sponsor donates when Aaron walks n miles.
total amount sponsor pays = base donations + (additional miles walked after first mile x amount paid)
when Aaron walks 8 miles
additional miles = 8 - 1 = 7
23 = 2 + 7x
23 - 2 = 7x
x = 3
additional amount paid is $3
total amount donated when aaron walks n miles = $2 + $3(n-1)
Answer:
31,536,000
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 3600 seconds in an hour and 24 hours in a day, so ...
(3600 s/h)(24 h/da) = 86400 s/da
Then in 365 days, there are ...
(365 da)(86400 s/da) = 31,536,000 s
_____
No rounding is needed.
Answer:
