(x - 5) is a factor of the polynomial function f(x) = x³ - x² - 17x -15 as there is no remaider.
<h3>What is a factor of a polynomial?</h3>
We know that if x = a is one of the roots of a given polynomial x - a = 0 is a factor of the given polynomial.
To confirm if x - a = 0 is a factor of a polynomial we replace f(x) with f(a) and if the remainder is zero then it is confirmed that x - a = 0 is a factor.
Given a polynomial function f(x) = x³ - x² - 17x -15.
If (x - 5) is it's factor then f(5) = 0.
∴ f(x) = x³ - x² - 17x -15.
f(5) = 5³ - 5² - 17(5) - 15.
f(5) = 125 - 25 - 85 - 15.
f(5) = 0.
So, the remainder is zero hence (x - 5) is a factor of the polynomial function f(x) = x³ - x² - 17x -15.

Answer:
1 adult cat
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Thursday:</u>
The ratio of adult cat to kitten at a pet care center on Thursday was 4:3.
Number of adult cats = 4x
Number of kitten cats = 3x
There were 12 kittens, then
There were 16 adult cats
<u>Tuesday:</u>
17 adult cats were at the pet care center.
<u>Difference:</u>
adult cat
