Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello There!
First thing we notice is that the y intercept is at (3,0) meaning that they have some sort of fee that has a charge of 3 dollars (represented by the 3)
Because the fee is 3 dollars we can immediately eliminate answers B and C
Now we want to find the charge for each bag of Potpourri (this can be represented by the slope)
Once again we want to choose two points on the line and plug it in into the slope formula
the points are optional but i have chosen the points (1,4.5) and (2,6)
*plug it into the slope formula*
so we can conclude that the charge per bag of potpourri is $1.50 leading us to answer choice A
To perform this check, you must use the following theorem: is a lower bound for the zeroes of
if, when divide
by
, the quotient and the remainter alternate signs.
Since the long division yields the result
You can see that the signs don't alternate (the last two terms are positive). So, -1 is not a lower bound.
In fact, the actual roots of the polynomial are -3, -2, 1, 3, so as you can see there are roots smaller than -1.
