Answer:

f(x) = (x + 4)^2*(x - 5)^3

Step-by-step explanation:

For a polynomial P(x) with zeros (or roots):

x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ

And a leading coefficient (the one that multiplies the term of highest degree) A, we can write the polynomial as:

P(x) = A*(x - x₁)*(x - x₂)*...*(x - xₙ)

Now, some of these roots can be repeated.

For example if x₁ = x₂

Then we say that the root x₁ has a multiplicity of two.

And we write the polynomial as:

P(x) = A*(x - x₁)^2*(x - x₃)*....*(x - xₙ)

Now, if we have a polynomial with the roots (or zeros):

Zero at -4 with a multiplicity of 2 (we have the root x = -4 two times)

Zero at 5 with a multiplicity of 3 (we have the root x = 5  3 times)

(And a leading coefficient A =  1, I assume)

This polynomial will be written as:

f(x) = (x - (-4))*(x - (-4))*(x - 5)*(x - 5)*(x - 5)

f(x) = (x + 4)*(x + 4)*(x - 5)*(x - 5)*(x - 5)

f(x) = (x + 4)^2*(x - 5)^3

The correct option is the third one:

How far from the base of the house do you need to place a 15ft ladder so that it exactly reaches the top of a 12ft tall wall
Anettt [7]

It's a right triangle problem, and pretty obviously a multiple of the only Pythagorean Triple most folks know, 3²+4²=5².  In this case we multiply the lengths by three getting

9²+12²=15²

If we place the 15 foot ladder 9 feet from the house it will hit the house at height 12 feet.

Answer: 9 feet

Quiana has 5 times more text messages from Yolanda than from Pierre. Quiana has 30 text messages from Yolanda. Which equation ca
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

p=\frac{30}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Quiana has 5 times more text messages from Yolanda than from Pierre, we also know that she actually has 30 text messages from Yolanda. In other words, 30 texts from Yolanda is 5 times more text messages than from Pierre.

Thus, if we call p the number of texts messages from Pierre we would have that

p=\frac{30}{5} (since 30 texts from Yolanda is 5 times more than p, we can divide by 5 to find p)

And if we solve this equation we would get that Quiana has 6 text messages from Pierre
