The correct answer to this question is A; <span>A is students who like country music only, B is students who like both country and rap music, and C is students who like rap music only</span>
F(1) = (1)^3 + 2(1)^2 - 5(1) - 6 = 1 + 2 - 5 - 6 = -8; x = 1 is not a solution to the polynomial.
f(-1) = (-1)^3 + 2(-1)^2 - 5(-1) - 6 = -1 + 2 + 5 - 6 = 0; x = -1 is a solution to polynomial.
From the options, a or c has x = -1, both has x = , so lets check for x = 3
f(3) = (3)^3 + 2(3)^2 - 5(3) - 6 = 27 + 18 - 15 - 6 = 24; x = 3 is not a solution to the polynomial.
Therefore the solutions to the polynomial are x = -3, x = -1, x = 2

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a). Let the missing term = a
(a + 7) + (2x - 6) = -4x + 1
(a + 2x) + (7 - 6) = -4x + 1
(a + 2x) + 1 = -4x + 1
(a + 2x) = -4x
a = -4x - 2x
a = -6x
So the equation is,
(-6x + 7) + (2x - 6) = -4x + 1
b). (a² + p + 1) - (q + 5a + r) = 4a² -2a + 7
I have assumed p, q and r are the variables at the blank spaces.
(a² - q) + (p - 5a) + (1 - r) = 4a² - 2a + 7
By comparing both the sides of the equation,
a²- q = 4a²
q = a² - 4a²
q = -3a²
p - 5a = -2a
p = -2a + 5a
p = 3a
1 - r = 7
r = 1 - 7
r = -6
So the equation will be,
(a² + 3a + 1) - (-3a² + 5a - 6) = 4a²- 2a + 7
