Answer:

(x +5 ) is a factor

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5 = 0

x = -5

P(x) = x³ + 4x² + 2x + 35

P(-5) = (-5)³ + 4*(-5)² + 2*(-5) + 35

= -125 + 4*25 - 10 + 35

= -125 + 100 - 10 + 35

= -25 -10 +35

= -35 + 35

= 0

P(-5) = o. So, (x +5 ) is a factor

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

If ( x + 5) is a factor of p(x) then p(- 5) = 0

p(- 5)

= (- 5)³ + 4(- 5)² + 2(- 5) + 35

= - 125 + 100 - 10 + 135

= 0

Since p(- 5) = 0 then (x + 5) is a factor of p(x)

Answer:

The equation that describes the path of the water balloon is:

$y =-\frac{1}{10}\cdot (x-10)^{2}+15$

Step-by-step explanation:

The motion of the water balloon is represented by quadratic functions. Tommy launches a water balloon from $A(x,y) = (0\,ft, 5\,ft)$ and hits Arnold at $B(x,y) = (20\,ft, 5\,ft)$ . Given the property of symmetry of quadratic function, water ballon reaches its maximum at $C(x,y) = (10\,ft,15\,ft)$ , which corresponds to the vertex of the standard equation of the parabola, whose form is:
