Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in the length of the polar bear will be:

= 2 7/9 - 1 5/6

The lowest common multiple of 9 and 6 is 18.

= 2 7/9 - 1 5/6

= 2 14/18 - 1 15/18

= 17/18

She is incorrect as she subtracted the denominator from the numerators and didn't find their lowest common multiple. She got the answer this way:

= 2 7/9 - 1 5/6

= (2 - 1) (7-5)/(9-6)

= 1 2/3

Polynomial Equation question<br>(Screenshot included)
Illusion [34]

y = {x}^{3}  - 4 {x}^{2}  - 45x \\ y = x( {x}^{2}  - 4x - 45) \\ y = x(x + 5)(x - 9) \\ x = 0, - 5,9
So, to find our x-intercepts, y must be zero
0 = x \\  \\ 0 = (x + 5) \\  - 5 = x \\  \\ 0 = (x - 9) \\ 9 = x
ANSWER: (0,0) (-5.0) (9,0) are your x-intercepts
