Steve is 1.2 times faster than Paul.
<h3>
What is a ratio?</h3>
The quantitative relationship between two values indicating how frequently one value is contained within the other.
For example: Speed = Distance / Time
Total distance covered by both Steve and Paul = 100m
Total time taken by Steve = 10s
Steve's speed = 100 / 10 = 10m/s
Total time taken by Paul = 12s
Paul's speed = 100 / 12 = 8.33m/s
Ratio of Steve's speed to Paul's speed = 10 / 8.33 = 1.2
Hence we can say that Steve is 1.2 times faster than Paul.

If -5/2 is a root of that 3rd degree polynomial, then when we do synthetic division on it we will get a remainder of 0, and the resulting numbers from our math will then become the coefficients to a new polynomial, one degree less than what we started with, called the depressed polynomial. Put -5/2 outside the "box" and the coefficients inside: -5/2 (2 7 1 -10). Bring down the
2 and multiply it by -5/2 to get -5. Put that -5 up under the 7 and add to get
2. Multiply that 2 by the -5/2 to get -5. Put that -5 up under the 1 and add to get
-4. Multiply that by -5/2 and get 10. Put that 10 up under the -10 and add to get a remainder of 0. Those bolded numbers now are the coefficients of our new polynomial, one degree less than what we started with. That polynomial is

. Now we need to factor that to find the other 2 roots to our polynomial. If we factor a 2 out we have

,That factors easily to 2(x+2)(x-1). That gives us x+2=0 and x = -2, x-1=0 and x = 1. The 3 solutions or zeros or roots are -5/2, -2, 1. There you go!
