If the roots to such a polynomial are 2 and

, then we can write it as

courtesy of the fundamental theorem of algebra. Now expanding yields

which would be the correct answer, but clearly this option is not listed. Which is silly, because none of the offered solutions are *the* polynomial of lowest degree and leading coefficient 1.
So this makes me think you're expected to increase the multiplicity of one of the given roots, or you're expected to pull another root out of thin air. Judging by the choices, I think it's the latter, and that you're somehow supposed to know to use

as a root. In this case, that would make our polynomial

so that the answer is (probably) the third choice.
Whoever originally wrote this question should reevaluate their word choice...
Answer:
see below (I hope this helps!)
Step-by-step explanation:
41. √20 = √4 * 5 = √4 * √5 = 2√5
43. The sum of interior angles in a triangle is 180°, therefore, x = 180 - (75 + 64) = 41°.
45. 15 + 5(2x - 3) = 15 + 5(2x) + 5(-3) = 15 + 10x - 15 = 10x
47. Complementary angles have a sum of 90°, therefore, x = 90 - 48 = 42°.
Answer:
7y + 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Think of the negative sign to the left of the parentheses as being -1. Then apply the distributive property. The effect of a negative sign to the left of parentheses or a 1 to the left of parentheses is that each term inside the parentheses changes sign.
-(-7y - 24) = -1(-7y - 24) = (-1)(-7y) - (-1)(24) = 7y - (-24) = 7y + 24
Hi, i think the answer 20/3 hope this helped :D
