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
To remove √3 from denominator, we multiply both numerator as well as denominator with √3

Answer:
10 boys, 15 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
Original ratio: 2 boys/3 girls
let x be the scale factor of the ratio
2x plus 5 boys over 3x girls = 1 (because the # of boys/girls are the same)-------> 2x+5/3x = 1
Simplify: 2x+5=3x
Simplify: 5=x
plug x back into the original ratio: 10/15
Check: 10/15 = 2/3
10 boys + 5 boys = 15, 15/15 = 1
Answer:
the slope would be -5
Step-by-step explanation:
in linear equations, the slope of the line is the coefficient of x
so in this case, it is -5
