Answer:
d
Step-by-step explanation:
y = x - 2.....the slope here is 1. A parallel line will have the same slope
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 1
(2,-2)...x = 2 and y = -2
now we sub and find b, the y int
-2 = 1(2) + b
-2 = 2 + b
-2 - 2 = b
-4 = b
so ur parallel line is : y = x - 4
First observe that x=-1 is a root of the equation. Use long division to divide x^3-3x^2+x+5 by x+1, we find that (x^3-3x^2+x+5)/(x+1)=(x^2-4x+5). Now we need to find the roots of x^2-4x+5.
x^2-4x+5=0,
x^2-4x+4=-1,
(x-2)^2=i,
x-2=i or -1,
x=2+i or 2-i.
The three roots are 2+i, 2-i, -1.
9x + 4 = 58
9x = 54
x = 6
The number is 6.
