9/5
the distance is 9 over, and 5 up.
Answer: 24 & 72
Step-by-step explanation: 24 + 72 = 96
24 x 72 = 1728
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let O=number of oranges and A=number of apples.
O+A=20
O=20-A
1.25A+0.95O=22.60, using O found above makes this become
1.25A+0.95(20-A)=22.60
1.25A+19-0.95A=22.60
0.3A+19=22.60
0.3A=3.6
A=12, since O=20-A
O=20-12
O=8
So she bought 8 oranges and 12 apples. The question really only asks for the number of apples bought.
12 apples were bought.
Answer:
substitute that value for x in the polynomial and see if it evaluates to zero
Step-by-step explanation:
A "zero" of a polynomial is a value of the polynomial's variable that make the expression become zero when it is evaluated. As an almost trivial example, consider the polynomial x-3. The value x = 3 is a zero because substituting that value for x makes the expression evaluate as zero.
3 -3 = 0

Evaluating polynomials can be done different ways. Straight substitution for the variable is one way. Using synthetic division by x-a (where "a" is the value of interest) is another way. This latter method is completely equivalent to rewriting the polynomial to Horner form for evaluation.
