Answer:
second option
Step-by-step explanation:
Right now the dirt bike is worth $500. Next year it will be worth 15% less, or 85% of the current value (because currently it's at 100%, so you would subtract the 15%). To find 85% of the dirt bike's value, you would take $500 and multiply by 85% (or 0.85). This would give you $425 after 1 year. You'd take $425 and multiply that by 85% for the next year, and continue until you reached 5 years of the value decreasing. Does this help?
Roots: - √5 , √5, and - 3
=> these are factors of the polynomial: (x + √5), (x - √5), and (x + 3).
Multiply those three factors:
(x + √5) (x - √5) ( x + 3) = [x^2 - 5] ( x + 3 ) = x^2 + 3x^2 - 5x - 15
Therefore the polynomial x^2 + 3x^2 - 5x - 15 is a polynomial with the given roots.
Answer: option B. x^3 + 3x^2 - 5x - 15
