The first answer.
Point P is at (50,-40) the distance from Q to P is 80 units which you can find by subtracting the x of Q (-30) from the x of P (50).
50-(-30)=80
It then tells you point R is vertically above point Q so you know your x value for R will be the same as Q.
Add your distance from Q to P of 80 units to the y value of Q because you are traveling up.
-40+80=40
R will have a point of (-30,40) and a distance of 80 units
Answer:
Choice b.
.
Step-by-step explanation:
The highest power of the variable 
in this polynomial is 
. In other words, this polynomial is quadratic.
It is thus possible to apply the quadratic formula to find the "roots" of this polynomial. (A root of a polynomial is a value of the variable that would set the polynomial to 
.)
After finding these roots, it would be possible to factorize this polynomial using the Factor Theorem.
Apply the quadratic formula to find the two roots that would set this quadratic polynomial to . The discriminant of this polynomial is 
.
.
Similarly:
.
By the Factor Theorem, if 
is a root of a polynomial, then 
would be a factor of that polynomial. Note the minus sign between and 
.
- The root
corresponds to the factor 
, which simplifies to 
. - The root
corresponds to the factor 
, which simplifies to 
.
Verify that 
indeed expands to the original polynomial:
