Using multiplication signal rules, it is found that:

A: Emma's statement is always false.

B: The result is always negative.

C: Emma's statement is always true.

The rule used for this exercise is as follows:

  • When two numbers of different signals are multiplied, the result is negative.
  • When two numbers have the same signal, the result is positive.

Part A:

  • Three numbers are multiplied, all negative.
  • The multiplication of the first two result in a positive number.
  • Then, this positive number is multiplied by a negative number, and the result will be negative, which mean that Emma's statement is always false.

Two examples are:

-2.5(-3.8)(-2) = 9.5(-2) = -19

-2.5(-2)(-0.7) = 5(-0.7) = -3.5

Part B:

The rule is that the result is always negative.

Part C:

  • The multiplication of the first two negative numbers result in a positive number.
  • Then, this positive number is multiplied by another positive number, and the result will be positive, which mean that Emma's statement is always true.

Two examples are:

-2.5(-3.8)(2) = 9.5(2) = 19

-2.5(-2)(0.7) = 5(0.7) = 3.5

Which of the following is a polynomial with rootsnegative square root of 5, square root of 5, and 3
Scrat [10]

Answer:

P(x) = x³ - 3x² - 5x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The roots of the polynomial are -√5 , √5 , 3

∴ The polynomial has 3 factors:

  (x - √5) , (x + √5) , (x - 3)

∴ P(x) = (x - √5)(x + √5)(x - 3)

          = (x² + √5x - √5x - 5)(x - 3)

          = (x² - 5)(x - 3) = x³ - 3x² - 5x + 15

∴ P(x) = x³ - 3x² - 5x + 15
