Answer:

Factor theorem: f(-5) = 0.

Synthetic division: f(x) = (x + 5)\, (2\, x^2 -3\, x + 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Factor Theorem</h3>

By the factor theorem, a monomial of the form (x - a) (where a is a constant) is a factor of polynomial f(x) if and only if f(a) = 0.

In this question, the monomial is (x + 5), which is equivalently (x - (-5)). a = -5.

\begin{aligned}& f(-5) \\ &= 2 \times (-5)^{3} + 7 \times (-5)^{2}- 14\times (-5) + 5\\ &= -250 + 175 + 70 + 5 \\ &= 0\end{aligned}.

Hence, by the factor theorem,  (x + 5), which is equivalent to (x - (-5)), is a factor of f(x).

<h3>Synthetic Division</h3>

\begin{aligned}& f(x) \\ &= 2\, x^{3} + 7\, x^{2} - 14\, x + 5 \\ &= \underbrace{(x + 5) \, (2\, x^2)}_{2\, x^{3} + 10\, x^{2}} - 3\, x^{2} - 14\, x + 5 \\ &= \underbrace{(x + 5) \, (2\, x^2)}_{2\, x^{3} + 10\, x^{2}} + \underbrace{(x + 5)\, (-3\, x)}_{-3\, x^{2} - 15\, x} + (x + 5) \\ &= (x + 5)\, (2\, x^{2} - 3\, x + 1)\end{aligned}.

The remainder is 0 when dividing f(x) by (x + 5). Hence, (x + 5)\! is a factor of f(x)\!.

Which angle in the isosceles triangles is the biggest?
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Since the two base angles are congruent (same measure), they are each 70°. If we are given a base angle of say 45°, we know the base angles are congruent (same measure) and the interior angles of any triangle always add to 180°.

Emma has 7 bottles: 3 bottles that contain juice, 2 bottles
UNO [17]

Answer: Out of 7 bottles, 2 bottles contain soda. This means that 2 bottles= 29% out of 100%. 7/2 (7 divided by 2) = 0.285. 0.285 can be rounded up to 0.29, meaning that the approximate percentage of the bottles that contain soda is 29%.
