we have the factors 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 420. It can also be written in exponential form as 22 x 31 x 51 x 71.

Among all choices we have 5, so
x = 5
x - 5 = 0
Let's divide the expression by (x - 5) using the long division:
x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40
(x - 5) * x² = x³ - 5x² Subtract
____________________________
-6x² + 38x - 40
(x - 5) * (-6x) = -6x² + 30x Subtract
____________________________
8x - 40
(x - 5) * 8 = 8x - 40 Sutract
____________________________
0
Thus: x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40 = (x - 5)(x² - 6x + 8)
Now, let's simplify x² - 6x + 8.
x² - 6x + 8 = x² - 2x - 4x + 8 =
= x² - 2*x - (4*x - 4*2) =
= x(x - 2) - 4(x - 2) =
= (x - 4)(x - 2)
Hence:
x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40 = (x - 5)(x - 4)(x - 2)
To calculate zero:
x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40 = 0
(x - 5)(x - 4)(x - 2) = 0
x - 5 = 0 or x - 4 = 0 or x - 2 = 0
x = 5 or x = 4 or x = 2
40
100
or the decimal 0.40. Notice that 80 out of 200 and 10 out of 25 are also 40%, since
