In order to use the remainder theorem, you need to have some idea what to divide by. The rational root theorem tells you rational roots will be from the list derived from the factors of the constant term, {±1, ±5}. When we compare coefficients of odd power terms to those of even power terms, we find their sums are equal, which means -1 is a root and (x +1) is a factor.
Dividing that from the cubic, we get a quotient of x² +6x +5 (and a remainder of zero). We recognize that 6 is the sum of the factors 1 and 5 of the constant term 5, so the factorization is
... = (x +1)(x +1)(x +5)
... = (x +1)²(x +5)
_____
The product of factors (x +a)(x +b) will be x² + (a+b)x + ab. That is, the factorization can be found by looking for factors of the constant term (ab) that add to give the coefficient of the linear term (a+b). The numbers found can be put directly into the binomial factors to make (x+a)(x+b).
When we have 1·5 = 5 and 1+5 = 6, we know the factorization of x²+6x+5 is (x+1)(x+5).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
B.) Investing has the risk of losing principal, whereas saving does not.
Step-by-step explanation:
Saving can be accomplished a number of ways, including putting the money in a cookie jar (where it will not earn interest). Most savings institutions (banks, credit unions, and the like) are governed by rules that help to ensure the availability and safety of the balance. Often, such institutions are insured so that depositors are protected against loss of principal.
Many investment opportunities are governed by no such rules. The invested amount may be unavailable for perhaps a lengthy period of time, and any return on the investment may be dependent upon factors not under the control of the party accepting the money. There is the opportunity for complete loss of the invested amount, and the possibility of incurring additional liability in some cases.
Investment in certificates that are traded on a regulated exchange will be subject to the exchange rules, generally including the requirement that the investor be fully informed of the risks. That doesn't mean there is no risk—it just means the investor is supposed to be made aware of it.
Answer: 0.8(.50)^t/5
Step-by-step explanation:
P(t)= p^0(1+-r)^t
0.8= initial mass
.50= 100/2-> halving
t/5= how many times for every 5 days
