The formula of a slope:

We have the points (-8, -20) and (5, 2). Substitute:

Answer: The slope is 
We have to round the value of 0.1561 to the nearest tenth.
The number after decimal is the number at tenth place. Consider the number to the right of the tenths place and use the number to determine if you will round up or stay the same. Notice that the number to the right of tenth place is more than or equal to 5 or less than 5. If that number is greater than or equal to 5, then the number will round up but if that number is less than 5, then the number will not round up. It will remain same.
Let us consider the given number 0.1561
The number at tenths place is 1
The number after the tenths place is 5 (which is either greater than or equal to 5)
So, the number will round up to 0.2

Answer: 2x(x^2-2)(x+1)</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
First factor out the GCF 2x
2x^4+2x^3-4x^2-4x
2x*x^3+2x*x^2-2x*2x-2x*2
2x(x^3 + x^2 - 2x - 2)
Then let's factor the expression inside the parenthesis using the factor by grouping method
x^3 + x^2 - 2x - 2
(x^3 + x^2) + (- 2x - 2)
x^2(x + 1) - 2(x + 1)
(x^2 - 2)(x+1)
We see that x^3 + x^2 - 2x - 2 factors to (x^2-2)(x+1)
Overall, the original expression fully factors to 2x(x^2-2)(x+1)
length = 2x
width = x^2-2
height = x+1
The order of length, width, and height doesn't matter.
There are two negative roots to the provided polynomial function
f(x) = x⁷ – 2x⁴ + 7x² + 2x – 2
<h3>What is polynomial?</h3>
Polynomial is the combination of variables and constants systematically with "n" number of power in ascending or descending order.

We have a polynomial function:
f(x) = x⁷ – 2x⁴ + 7x² + 2x – 2

Using the zero product property:

After solving:
x = -1, x = -0.853, and x = 0.418 (using the graph method)
Thus, there are two negative roots to the provided polynomial function
f(x) = x⁷ – 2x⁴ + 7x² + 2x – 2
